Description
This one was taken at Bloomingdale's department store in New York City maybe a year ago or later. One of my much older mannequin shots. I hope you can enjoy the beauty of this close up as the face says it all. As you can see the attractive look of her eyes in this one. The lashes look so natural and the hair so pretty and of course the perfect shaped lips. The dress was really lovely but so expensive. Since I am not going to New York nights now because of the corvid 19 issue I do not get to take anymore recent and newer mannequin images. It really has become so frustrating to find anything new so now I am uploading what is left of my collections. Once in a while I do appreciate the sepia look so I thought this one looked good. I really liked the mannequin poem so I thought it would be nice to attach it.I want to thank all my friends and watchers for the faves in advance and for your support I am very grateful.

A Mannequin in a Window

The mannequins in the shop window whisper excitedly:
A new girl arrives today.
She was real once,
as were they.
But life,
as it had done to so many before,
had stilled her soul.
Soon the rest of her followed.
Now she lays, frozen in plastic perfection,
in the dirty storage room of the store.
She is dressed roughly,
all former privacy forgotten,
by a shopkeeper
who thought she saw,
in the dim light of that room,
a single tear in the eye of the mannequin
before she placed her in the window,
to always be displayed
but never again
truly seen.
Or to think
or feel...
a mannequin in a window.
