5 Reasons Why You Should Own A Mannequin

Some ask, “Why own a mannequin?” I say, “why not?”  …Because it’s creepy and not very practical?  …please. Here’s a 5 point list that is in no way exhaustive and are darn solid reasons why you should spring for your own mannequin immediately.

#1
       Use your mannequin as house security. Its lifelike appearance will startle most intruders. The feature is pretty much built in. But it’s not a new idea. McCauley Culkin used a variation of this use in misleading the “Wet bandits” into thinking the McCallisters were home.

      In fact, a well placed mannequin can do more than scare off intruders. You can also use him to prank family and friends alike. Think of the look on dear old grandma’s face when she finds what you left her in the pantry.

   Dress up your mute friend and he can be transformed into the life of the party! Throwing a paradise themed get-together? Throw on a tropical T-shirt on your mannequin and suddenly you’ve injected fun and whimsy into your event.

     There’s no need to keep your pal private. Mix it up and use him as a stand in for webcam chat or bring him to a job interview.

     Lastly, enjoy his presence. His warm companionship, while silent, can enrich your life if you let it. Take comfort in knowing that your anchor is right where you left him. Seriously, he can’t move unless you move him.

 
You might choose to use his unwavering attentiveness to test your public speaking skills, pick up lines or one liners. He even has use as a proof reader for online articles!

Wow, it's interesting to know that mannequins can make a party more amusing by dressing them up with the appropriate clothes for your theme. My sister assigned me to decorate the room that she rented for her birthday, and I wanted to add something that will stand out. The theme for her birthday is unicorns and rainbows, so I might dress it up with vivid colored clothes and cool accessories. Now, I just have to look for the perfect mannequin. Thanks!
