Happy Mannyween!!

So sorry I haven't posted in over a week. We were on vacation, so I'm sad to think of what kind of outfits I missed while we were gone!!!!

Manny appears to have been the Skeleton Bride on Halloween. I was even a little scared when driving by. I can't imagine how the trick-or-treaters reacted!! Boyd the  bear is not in the hurse behind her. He was being hanged in the tree to the right. I can only get one picture per drive by. My guess is that it's Skelly Bride's Skelly Husband!!

She began November in the usual manner. This semi-gangster cheerleader ensemble greeted those who drove by in the cool November days. Can you believe it's November? I hope she doesn't get put in the garage for the winter!!

Detective Mannequin

On this cool, fall day, Manny lurks in the shadows as she sends the invisible vibe across the lawn. Searching for who know what... maybe trick or treaters? I was able to use my P.I. skills before she vanished for the evening!

Arrr! Shiver Me Timbers it's Pirate Manny

  

Ahoy there! It seems as though a pirate has set sail (or land in this case) this week. She's even got some booty (that's pirate for treasure)! No sign of Boyd this week. Hopefully, he's not in the treasure chest!

Getting in the Spirit of Things

Yes, that's Manny, and yes, that's Boyd. He's such a great helper! It appears that Manny is ready for Halloween, which only makes me about 10 times MORE excited for what she might look like on the actual night! Could this hallow night bring about more props and doom? I sure hope so! This has got to be one of the best so far!

Manny channeling Michael Jackson

I for one really think this is a MJ inspired outfit. The little thing you see to her left is indeed Boyd. He's complete with a mask and possibly reading a book. Maybe it's the best of Michael Jackson's choreography. Hee heeee.

Cowgirl Manny

Yeehaw! Manny and her horse Whoa Nelly are saddling up and roaming the range (and by range I mean the front yard). She's got a black hat one... doesn't that mean she's a bad guy or gal?

Emo Manny?

I'm not quite sure which direction to go with on this one. I think it's very dramatic with the wind blowing her hair. Even though there really wasn't any wind. I think the wig just needs a washing.

Manny's most recent look has even frightened Boyd. He fell off his trike out of confusion!

Manny visits the 60s

I know this is bit zoomed out, but the door of the house was open, and I didn't want to get caught! Anyway, today Manny looks 60s-esque. The hat I believe is from another era, but nevertheless she has time traveled again! I believe she went back to fight for women's rights!

Little Manny on the Prairie

Okay, so this picture has horrible quality because of the speed we were going while doing our drive by. So, I apologize, but if you can't tell, Manny is now a woman of the prairie and/or Amish lifestyle. I think she's strapping up the wagon to head into town for trade ingredients. Maybe she's going to make some cheese.

Manny is a workin' girl!

Manny had her weekend of fun in her ball gown, but it's back to real life. She's getting a head start on the leaves before autumn really kicks in!

Do you notice that Boyd isn't by her side? He was taking a spin on his trike while showing off his new doo.

Sorry for the not so great quality picture! But there's not much time during a drive by "shooting"....of pictures, duh.

An Evening on the Town

Yesterday Richie and I went on a Sushi and Movie Date! Before we left town, we went to go see how Manny was doing, and what she was wearing. Little Boyd is still working hard pulling the wagon.

I found it ironic that she was so dressed up on our date night! Maybe she has some big plans as well with those long locks! Your story?

Mannequin's line of Hispanic Wear

Here's our first picture! This was taken on Monday, when I started the blog. I was having trouble uploading. So anyway, Let's see who can come up with the best story about our Un-Named friend!!!

I'd Like to Introduce You to the Mannequin

My husband and I have found our newest past time. It's driving down Boyd Avenue to see what the mannequin is wearing. It's always fun because you never know what persona she will have taken on from the previous day or week.

Here's the scoop:

There is a mannequin on Boyd Avenue in our town. Her owners move her around the yard, which they keep up with very well might I add, and change her clothes on a regular basis. I don't know how many other citizens know about her wardrobe and movements, but it is always the highlight of our day! We purposely go the long way just to see what she's wearing. She can be anything from a Red Hat Club member to a biker decked out in black leather complete with a dew rag.

It's like she's a life size Barbie who takes on different roles in the world. She's worn a red ball gown with a long blond wig, a red coat that resembles closely to the British Army, camo, 80s wear and what ever else you can imagine.

Sometimes she's by the tree or out enjoying the sunshine on the other side of the driveway. She is also accompanied by a tiny stuffed bear, whom I like to call Boyd. He usually wears a red plaid shirt and overalls, but nevertheless, Boyd is making his debut as well.

I've decided to start this blog because I find such enjoyment in the act. It's rather clever of the owners, which I have not met but would love to, and I feel like I know her. Yet I'm always surprised at what character she has become.

I will update this blog with pictures every time I see that she has made a wardrobe change. Please enjoy and help me come up with a name for our new friend!
