I concur. If it can come alive and has arms or teeth- I don’t like it.

I know it’s possible, but I also know for a lot of women, it’s an affectation.

I think a size two is super tiny compared to most women. I think that its very possible the mannequins are even smaller than that though because the ones I’ve worked with we can put a size two on them and still pin it to make it fit correctly. Maybe it would be more ok if they also had mannequins at a more average…

I just hate this pigeon-toed, tee-hee-I’m-so-cute pose.

Ridiculous. Mannequins are not solid fiberglass. They are most decidedly hollow fiberglass. If they were solid (which fiberglass never is) they’d be idiotically heavy. The only comparable thing would be solid resin, which is not used typically for a full mannequin (maybe a head or hand form) and it also is too heavy…

Valley Of the Dolls has my favorite 70’s weight loss treatment (the sleep cure) which was to send one of them to Switzerland and put her to sleep for a month. Totally solid and reasonable plan.

If your family doesn’t have a cottage, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who does. For a lot of kids, visiting friends at their cottages represents, for…

While she was obviously under a lot of stress, she had her own issues too. Those were some pretty elaborate lies that she concocted.

You have to pass Calculus to graduate high school in Canada? I’m so glad I’m American....I would have been screwed. I can barely do long division and it bores me to tears.

Because it’s verboten or because those aren’t choices that you want to make for yourself? There’s a difference.

There is no much bad/sad/wrong/avoidable/horrifying/bizarre here it could be Shakespeare. Sadly, it will probably just be a Lifetime MOTW. And the subject of several different ID Channel crime docs.

People tell me that the “Model Minority” stereotype is harmless.
I think this present case is a good example of why that notion is wrong.

I feel like before jumping to conclusions we should give her 6-7 years to see if this is all just an elaborate ruse to gain his trust and then betray him horribly somehow.
