photo 23: sears mannequins

The Andrew McCarthy romantic comedy Mannequin would have been a lot scarier if the mannequin who came to life had no head.

When I was wee little, I would say hello and wave to the mannequins in the JCPenney department store. I'm not sure if this behavior ever concerned my parents, but it was probably the first sign that I would continue talking to imaginary people as a playwright.
