Something has been at the center of my thoughts too many times lately that I can no longer continue to ignore it here.

Walking through the mall daily I pass multiple storefronts decorated with outrageous displays of clothing (or lack there of) draped over mannequins. To the best of my recollection these mannequin’s have been changing for years. Breasts have been getting larger, waists getting slimmer and now the newest models come fully equipped with erect nipples. We’re not talking about slight bumps here, we’re talking full blown fake-titted porno style beamers.

Note: Photo not included because stopping in the middle of the mall to whip out the camera to zoom in and take a picture of a fake erect nipple isn’t on the top ten list of things I want to explain to mall security.

I guess even the fact that I noticed them enough times illustrates the disturbing fact that I spend too much time oogleing over mannequins.

Now even as a purveyor of the beautiful womanly figure and huge personal fan of the female tit, even I find this new “realism” a bit disturbing. Does creating an erect nipple actually cause a spike in clothing sales? – I would love to see the headline on that email to the corporate office. I guess even the mere fact that I noticed it speaks to its visibility.

I realize that, as Lisa puts it, everybody’s “turkeys are done” once in a while, But where do we draw the line at creating realistic mannequins? Would be creating a mannequin with a massive case of cameltoe go too far? What about people with hemorrhoids or those missing limbs due to shark attack – are they shit out of luck, again?

I can see the world of CGI busting this barrier soon enough where the doors will come flying off the hinges.
