TODAY'S SPECIAL

I used to watch the show on Nickelodeon called Today's Special when I was little... anyone else? I absolutely loved this show and probably watched every single episode (that and the Brady Bunch).

Today's Special was... err... special though. Remember Jeff? Jeff was the mannequin man that would transform himself into a human when the department store closed. I remember as a kid wondering if things like that really did happen after store hours... or if the mall security cameras were hidden in the mannequin's eyeballs.

Mannequins. Those fake people are simply wierd and just really creepy. Here's what I mean...
Example-1
Example-2
Example-3

However... at work I recieve a subscription to ddi magazine This month's edition showcases the work of Ralph Pucci who designs mannequins amongst other lovely things. For some reason (again, I'm an odd bird) I love the photographs of his mannequin people.

For your viewing pleasure... enjoy some of Pucci's work!


SIGNED: I USED TO PRETEND TO BE A FAKE MANNEQUIN AND HONESTLY BELIEVED MY MOM WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE ME WHEN SHOPPING.
