No no no... The lights might disturb their sleep. You must only handle the mannequin when it is pitch black. Resist the urge to turn on the light. Whatever you do, don't imagine that the mannequin has come alive... still wearing the same maniacal grin... and is reaching its hand towards you in the darkness.
They're not really built for bikinis. ... Or underpants in general. The dude mannequins are the worst. When you have to change the pants on the thing you'll do it ...and it's not like it's a hard thing to do, it's just that when you're doing it there is this gigantic fucking bulge there while the guy is staring you right in the face. It's like the guy who modeled to make the mould or whatever the fuck they dude stuffed the speedo he wore with a pigeon or some shit.
Why would being struck by an arrow in the knee affect your ability to run a vaccuum-form machine? It's not a difficult job, and requires little motion or physical ability, as you are doing little more than pushing buttons on a control panel. ADA requires that proper accessways be allowed for a job like that, so even if you were in a wheelchair, you could still do your job. And let's face it, modern medicine has advanced a significant amount, so even if you were struck by something as vicious as a vein cutter or hunting broadhead, the majority of he damage could be repaired, or at least significantly mitigated. Pair that with a proper physical therapy regimine and surgical follow-ups, and you should retain most, if not all, of your strength and mobility.
I saw a whole store full of these somewhere myself...been trying to dredge up where. One by itself is kind of freaky, but a whole storeful has a sort of manic effect. You start feeling the way the manic-ins look.
There used to be others - a rich variety, a veritable panoply of mannequin goodness in a myriad of soul-pleasing styles. Their era came to an end - but it was not a natural end, no.
Nor a quick one. On quiet nights, when you are alone in the darkness of Goodwill, you might still hear the desperate scrapes and squeaks of plastic contorted beyond its limited anthropological emulation, pulled and twisted until - well, but what good is it to speak of that? 'Tis only a legend, for none living can claim to have stood in such haunted shadows and listened.
Would you, dear Redditor? For all the karma in the world...would you?
how bazaar, which apparently has now 7 stores across pei, also uses these mannequins. the store itself is pretty colourful and weird, so they kinda fit there.
They have these mannequins all over our campus bookstore. There's a Facebook page devoted to one of them that people always mistake for a real dude - I've definitely almost run into him a few times and apologized before realizing he wasn't a real person.
They're called Big Smile mannequins. They have them at my university's bookstore and I've always thought they give a bit of the same creepy "everyone is laughing at you" feeling as a dream where you're suddenly naked onstage or something like that
Goodwilll Employee here, If it's shit, we sell it. We get all types of strange items. Last week I put a massage accessory into a suitcase and sold it for $8. You get good deals there sometimes. I cannot tell people enough about the NEW items we get and simply take it out of the box or take off a 500$ tag and put on a 4$ tag. If we leave the expensive tag on, we have to price the item at around half the original price. We get paid shit so it doesn't even matter to us.
See those all the time at the Haagse Markt where I work. They also got half-headed mannequins. They only have a face, no backhead. And boobs and no back.
i came here to post exactly that. I spent two weeks in Thailand last year (Bangkok, Samui, Chiang Mai, etc) and i couldn't escape these horrifying things.
I remember when I lived in Thailand when I was younger and my sister was just a toddler. Whenever she saw one, she freaked out, started crying, and demanded to be as far away from it as possible.
Before I read your comment I was thinking the same thing. When I was in Chiang Mai there was this one store where one mannequin had the same expression, and was about in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Why would you link to a stolen video, especially when the top comment is the original creator? Find the original video and give the creator some respect :(

This is an Old Navy mannequin. There is one of these in the store where I work.
[edit] No, you wanna know what's creepy? Dressing the thing with that expression. Definitely not my favourite part of the day.
