Despite any appearances to the contrary (see this post) I’m not really into shooting pics of window displays.

However, this one (in a window of a major store on the local High Street) caught my eye (in a very literal sense!) and I just couldn’t resist snapping it.

Maybe I’m completely wrong, but it strikes me there’s something not quite right (or perhaps “respectable” would be a better word?) about the pose of that window-dresser’s dummy.

To clarify, the… um… “knees” of the dummy are just below adult eye-level to passers-by.

Or maybe I’m just a bit old-fashioned?

On the other hand, I was in the company of two friends (with a significant age gap) when I spotted this and we all agreed it was “just not right”!

    You and your friends are absolutely correct in that it is not right.

    Nevertheless what kind of a person takes a picture of a manikin with it’s legs apart; what utterly childish behaviour to put it on a a web blog and critisize it and what an insensitive character almost suggests that it wasn’t done by mere accident: “it strikes me there’s something not quite right(or perhaps “respectable” would be a better word?) about the pose of that window-dresser’s dummy.” Manikins (not dummys) can’t pose themselves and unless you have evidence that it was done deliberately you’re verging on slander…
