It was eerie. She was the most beautiful mannequin I had ever seen, with a
smile like the Mona Lisa. But her last store was so eager to get rid of her
that their price barely covered the cost of her fiberglass and outfit. They
said something about how her beauty made the rest of their mannequins look
cheap by comparison, however I felt there was more they weren't saying. Her
shipping box contained a receipt from yet another store. I stood her up and
turned away to select a new dress for her when I felt I was being watched.
I quickly looked back, but it was only her and I. I walked around the room
to shake it off, and felt as if her gaze followed me. I was going to dress
her in something more feminine and put her alone in our main window, but I
began to feel I shouldn't touch her at all without her permission. Now
anyone who has been in the business very long has heard all stories.
Finally I said to myself, ENOUGH of this foolishness. We all know the test
to prove a mannequin is only that. I walked over and looked straight across
into her clear brown eyes, put my arms around her, and kissed her full on
her hard plastic lips. And then she put her arms around me and kissed me
back with the softest lips I have ever felt. She murmured a quiet "Thank
you," into my ear, and changed my life.
