Mannequins Are No Dummies

I always wonder when I pass a storefront window that displays mannequins where the mannequins came from. Some are so life like that you know they were created in the image of someone who is or was once alive. Every mannequin must have lots of stories to tell. None more so than the dozen or so mannequins that “live” in front of Bill Riley’s Rusty Bolt and Thunderbird Trading Company located in Seligman, Arizona. This tourist stop along old Route 66 has Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and lots of friends posed in various positions on an Edsel car parked on the street, on the roof of the building and along the building’s store front. The first section of this book contains photos of these mannequins. The remainder of this book has mannequin images photographed on our many trips throughout the world. Images were taken in such far away cities as Varanasi, India; Galway, Ireland; Cork, Ireland; Las Vegas, Nevada; Montreal, Canada and other places.
