What would the world be like? Would stand in a shop window all day, paid to do a mannequins job?

So I was walking past a load of shops yesterday and the thought struck me...
 
Someone would think "wait a second, couldn't we craft an object that was the right size to hold clothes?" and then they'd start putting the clothes on them.
 
If mannequins didn't exist you wouldn't have posed this inane question and therefore wouldn't owe me 15 seconds of my life back.

I like your idea. Perhaps we should construct it of wood for the support but cotton so its soft and looks nice
 
If Mannequins didn't exist that would mean a world in which Andrew McCarthy wouldn't get caught banging a mannequin of Kim Cattrall whilst 'They Built This City on Rock N Roll' played in the background.

Quite frankly that wouldn't be a world worth living in.

This is a great thought for facebook where you may get a few likes from your mates.

Hardly GD worthy musing though.

As pointed out if not invented then they would be.

If we as a species couldn't invent mannequins or life size figures to impersonate humans, not having them would be the least of our worries.

Agalmatophilia is quite common, reading about it the other day in a book, 'Psychopathia Sexualis'.

Then that movie must have legitimized such deviant behaviour for a lot of freaks over the years.

At least Kim was real till the security guard turned up. Or was the whole Movie a Fight Club style twist of fantasy?

Nah it was the 80's. That movie was about a dude banging a hot chick who turned from a mannequin by the magic of cheesy rock and mullets - nothing else.

Mannequins don't exist, how does that grab you? Those aren't mannequins, I can tell you that. I'm not sure yet what they really are.
Have you ever noticed what they do when you aren't looking at them?
No you haven't! You've never seen it!
By the time you turn round they go all still again. No matter how many times or how quickly you turn round on them. You just can't catch them at it! Doesn't stop them doing it though.
 
I wouldn't care at all, if I go to buy clothes I go into the closest shop find the first thing that fits, go "Yeah that'll do" pay and go to the pub for a few hours.

Doesn't matter whats in the windows, and wierd thing is, peole seem to think I dress well! I buy my clothes on a "sod it that'll do" basis.

I'm never going to look at one again! Wait... scratch that... I'm never going to stop looking...

The other question I have is why do female mannequins regularly have nipples...? I don't think many women really go "my nipples would look good in that!"...:p

Maybe they are the ones designed by the Agalmatophiliacs?

I'm sorry, but however you look at it, you have made a crap thread. Don't try and draw attention away from that by pointing out a few threads made by certain backwards individuals on this forum.
