slightly spooky mannequin

i felt sorry for this mannequin in pembroke dock.  she had no arms or body

080818_850_img_0496.jpg

but that was more fortunate than the other mannequins who had no arms or head s

day 10 was a town visiting day.  we were in search of the gorky's barafundle album which we eventually found in a second hand record trail.  we went to two of the most fantastic second hard record shops ever in fact, and i highly recommend them both if you find yourself in that part of town.  one of the gorky's himself pops in occasionally, so that would have been very bizarre.

anyway, bonkers is a great name for traditional ladies clothing

080818_850_img_0458.jpg

it probably would have been a better name for this charity shop which had a mannequin dressed mostly in plastic bags

of course the welsh need to keep an eye on their flags

this week's "guess what" mystery was of course superman

080702_350d_img_6692.jpg

he seems to have taken batman's place outside city hall

which was ideal for taking pictures of superheroes punching big ben

and here's a peek behind the magic of the lens viewers, just so you can see how the magic of funkypancake is created.

the weather was finally nice last weekend as can be seen by this sunbathing beauties at an outside brick-a-brack stall.  batman is firmly keeping his clothes on.

the chap prefers to sunbathe alone.  with his cowboy boots on.

i like both of these shots, though the one above with the reflection of house behind me has the edge i think.  i like how the lines lead it to her head !

these mannequins were in a fancy dress shop in brussels and were the size of a young child.  just in case you wanted to dress them up all funky.

080417_850_img_7946.jpg

i was very tempted to go and get a couple of costumes, but common sense got the better of me.

mannquin pis is a long time friend of funkypancake (i'd suggest you'd look in the categories archive, but they are rather deaded at the moment)
080417_350d_img_3850.jpg

as usual people gathered to photograph the spectacle of a weeing statue

080417_350d_img_3858.jpg

and there's a classic collection of mannequin pis related paraphenalia

080417_350d_img_3862.jpg

plural singular.  perhaps something broke.  or it's a jigsaw.  i'm not sure if the headless mannequin will help.

this shop in bracknell, england is quite fantastic.  all the mannequin's were bold.  except this one, which had covered up with a hat and sun glasses.  she was a lot shorter than the other mannequins too ...

an age ago i took the girls to a military museum where they had some great military mannequins

061203-154916.jpg

they also had some strange military death signage

061203-161328.jpg

and a little tableau at child height to show what mass destruction looked like.  nice.

the owner of this shop came out and asked me what i was doing.  at least i think he did.  he was very french and i'm very english.  we had a talk for a good 5 minutes though and he gave me a brief history of his shop which was in his family 5 generations if i understood him correctly.  (there's a big chance i didn't)
