Re: Has anyone noticed...
I'm probably one of the ones to be blamed for that.
My first crush was on a mannequin. I was a wee lad.
That was when mannequins were hot.
Growing up in somewhat normal human relationships,
I was caught looking one too many times.
Most likely licking my lips.
I noticed the same thing. I think many have been caught looking a little too long.

Yep, just not the same going shopping anymore.phillip57 wrote:I have noticed a tendency for malls to switch over to faceless/headless mannequins in their displays. It's such a disappointment, I used to love walking in the mall and checking out the displays. I have to wonder why?

I think the rationale behind it is one cost and the other wanting to highlight the clothes rather than the mannequin wearing it. Disappointing though. I think ogling mannequins as a lad is where I first started to truly love dolls.

I see you're really thinking about this. I would as soon see an equal racial, ethnic diversity of mannequins rather than de-humanizing and sterilizing them.Brunch wrote:I believe it has something to do with diversity and the equality between races, ethnic backgrounds, different skin tones and origins.

Yeah, I agree! But the next thing could then be consideration for non-model looking people, fat looking, disabled and/or outright ugly people not to be discriminated in public with those extraordinary beautiful model faces setting the standard for what beauty is well knowing that beauty comes from within.phillip57 wrote:I see you're really thinking about this.

We have to remember that the mainstream purpose for mannequins is to display clothing.
Having a non detailed, non color type of display, such as black, white or gray, will tend to shift the attention to the clothing colors and textures rather than to the appearance of the model.

That's one way of lookin at it. A beautiful model has the clothing look better as well. Neither is "true," it's just a matter of opinion.
