Hi Manikin
I Think your Collection of Vintage Dolls and Mannequins are just awesome.
i love anything old and from a time when the world seemed to be just so much better(Even Though It Probably Wasnt) But They just seemed to have lived with much more Style than we do today. and the work you have done on your Mannequin is amazing good luck and Best Wishes.
