PINK mannequin

This pink mannequin in a shop window caught my eye.

 

The word actually comes from the Dutch word manneken, literally meaning 'little man'. Mannequin is the French form.

 

In the mid 1970s, "Mannequin Modeling," a human model posing as a mannequin figure, was made famous by New York City's major flagship department store Abraham & Straus, which was located in Downtown Brooklyn.
