Living Doll House
THE LIVING MANNEQUINS SHOP WINDOW

CAMERA TWO: The girl peeks around the main door, that in the two centuries of its existence seems to grown thicker, like a tree. It must be croaking. She slips in, throws a casual glance at the reception desk and moves on through the hallway.
`There is no one at the desk. Shall I ...?
`No, let her.'
`She seems to know where she is going.'
`She does. She has been here before.'

CAMERA ONE: On through the hallway. She has no regard for the marble tiles, the 16th century Chinese vases and the guilded baroque table, that was swapped for an entire village once, or even the glorious garden, outside the elegant French windows. She does see the mirror, but not because of its Venetian glass. She must be one of those women who can not pass a mirror without checking their hair, their face, their clothes. She looks and looks, without adjusting much to her appearance.
`She takes her time. Shall I go down now? She must be waiting.'
`She is not waiting, She is enjoying herself.'

After almost a minute, she moves on. Yes, she does not walk, she moves. She moves to the big door to the right on the end of corridor. She presses her ear against the wood, listens. She bows and tries to peep through the keyhole, awkardly balancing on her high heels. Her black sweater and the little miniskirt are stretched to their limits by the curves of her body, although you could call her slim.
Is she happy of what she sees? Her heavy black hair has fallen across her eyes. She returns to the mirror, only to comb her curls this time.
She listens at the door one more time, then enters.

LE SALON DES LIVING DOLLS * THE LIVING MANNEQUIN SHOP WINDOW * BARBIE LIVES * LIVING STATUES

YOU COULD GO TO

• The Living Mannequin Circle Not bad, not bad at all ... Failing this address, try here. 

• The ASFR Story Archive or here. I was afraid it got lost after James ML ditched it, but it's still out there.

• Die Welt der Living Mannequins. Or, in German Die Welt der lebendige Schaufensterpuppen. So now you know why they stick to Eurospeak. `Neu' means `new', not `not just there yet'. If these wonderful people make all their links materialize, this could be truly a nice site.

• The Art of the Mannequin. The MOTHER of all Mannequin Pages: Stories, pictures, loads of links & a banner page. Oh, did anybody say B A N N E R P A G E ?

Mechana speaks for herself ...

More experimental prose ...

And pictures too.

Mannequin 1 and Mannequin 2

Opinions on the movies Mannequin and Mannequin 2 are mixed, but since you are looking at this page, you should at least know about them. The plot of both movies is too absurd to relate here. The actresses who played the `mannequin' parts were Kim Catrall in Mannequin 1, and Kirsty Swanson (shown here) in Mannequin 2. Anything else anyone cares to know? 

Or, you could go BACK to the Main Hall

Thanks RobotMaster, Billy, James ML en Rowan!

I've had problems with mailadress harvesting viruses, not to mention spambots doing the same thing. I've decided to remove the direct mail links from my pages - a case in point of bad people spoiling it for the good. If you want to mail me, you can use the address visible on the picture below (sorry if you are visually impaired, I've no solution for that).
