| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00  | Here I am, minding my own business walking down 3rd Ave this morning to my office after parking in one of those "cheap" garages in Midtown. I'm just thinking about shit I have to do today, and I'm checking out the different businesses I pass...Starbucks, Barnes&Noble...stuff like that. I pass this one store that sells women's clothing...ok, fine...no problem there. The thing that strikes me as odd is that every mannequin in the window display had hard nipples. Now, don't get me wrong, hard nipples on a woman walking DOWN 3rd Ave is pretty sweet, but on a mannequin??? Let's think about this....I'm a man, not a cross-dresser, and not geeeyyy (don't even say it Grump), so I just find it weird that whoever made these things made them that way. Am I supposed to think that if I buy this shirt for a lady, she will walk around looking like that.....lets be honest...that's pretty doubtful. Now, it has been my experience that women are pretty self-conscious when, let's say, their headlights are on. So are they thinking to themselves how great their boobs will look, like those damned Purdue chicken thermometers when they pop up? Guys, I think we can all agree that headlights on is more gooder than headlights off on a lady. Ladies, I turn this question to you......would seeing a display such as the one I've mentioned make you fly into that store and plunk down a ton of dough for that shirt? Comments???

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00 | Metal, I want to hear the ladies' comments on this whole phenomenon, but it was a little chilly this morning, and you know they turn down the heat in these buildings at night. Maybe you should check the store out again when if warms up and see if the nipples are still turgid. Anyway, ladies? Comment?  Chef Corpse Boyardee is bringing the food, don't worry! < | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | Metal, to be honest it would be a bit odd if they made mannequins more 'realistic' can you imagine walking past the same shop and seeing a shirt on a mannequin that had saggy tits hanging down to it's ankles? I don't think many women would buy the shirt then and you'd probably be sick in their doorway!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | DW...that is not the implication at all.....it is a marketing question. Do companies think that this particular strategy will draw more female customers in to buy their merchandise? E-Mail Me "What we've got here is failure to communicate.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | I know that was not the implication at all, I forgot my sarcasm tags. But honestly, I can't really answer that question. I don't buy clothes if they look good on a mannequin, they could look complelty differrent on me. But I agree with Guv, you'd rather see a diplay of a woman with nice tits than ones of your 80 year old grandma. This message was edited by DreamWeaver on 4-17-01 @ 9:33 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | lol Metal since you are not getting a serious answer i will give my serious opinion. I think the mannaquins that have the nipples that could cut glass is a European thing. If you watch the fashion shows in Europe all the models are like that...i have no freakin clue why but to them its a work of art...lol "What are we going to do about this?

| Hanger-On Registered: Nov. 00 | I got it... the only people who care about this "headlights on" thing is the guys... they think: "Hey! That manniquin looks HOT with that shirt on like that! I bet my girlfriend/wife/other would look great wearing that! I love when her "headlights are on." The man proceeds into the store, and buys his girlfriend/wife/other the shirt. The store profits, the girl gets a new shirt, and the man, unfortunately, gets disappointed because hte girlfriend/wife/other doesn't look 1/2 as good as the manniquin. Ya win some, ya lose some fellas. Thats just my opinion. *~*Wendy*~* | ||||
