Never Play With Mannequins (6)

Posted under: Blog365

Do you know why you shouldn’t? Because they will beat you up in ways you didn’t think possible. Their limbs are so easy to fall off sometimes that they could bonk you upside the head.

What’s my personal experience with these damned mannequins? As I was trying to put a dress on one, I had to lift the top half of its body. Since I didn’t want the dress to fall to the floor, I was also trying to hold it up as well. Somehow, the stupid thing ended up smashing a sliver of my right ring finger in between the two halves. As soon as I got my finger free, all I thought happened was a nice line of skin breakage.

But no. The mannequin had more evil ideas. Not only did it create a small line of breakage underneath my skin, it also ballooned my ring finger to a horrendous purplish-brown color. Yes, my finger was badly bruised and in pain for the rest of the night. I had to put a band-aid on it to stop myself from looking at it in disgust and horror that such a thing could do that to me.

Moral of the story: Don’t think the mannequins are all that cute. They’re vicious inside. Like kitties.
