observation:

mannequin heads can be creepy.

a big part of my job involves being around mannequin heads. now, these are not the type of heads you would see in macy's or sears - these heads are are used for training hairdressers. they come in all forms and types - heads that have full thick hair, thinning hair, kinky curly hair, boy hair (some even have facial hair and kinda look like jesus; just ask cb). they even have names - seriously; the first one below for example is named "erika" (that's how we order them; "give me 10 viola's, 15 amber's, 4 samuel's and 20 erika's).

these heads as a general rule do not freak me out (unlike my boss who seriously hates them). however, when your the only person in the bu idling on a sunday, and your co-workers are fond of using heads as office decoration - it can get a bit freaky when you see a head out of the corner of your eye.

this last picture is one of my favorites. last march, we did a huge hair show in london. at about 5am on the day of the show the various guest artists were arriving for final prep on their models. a friend of mine from germany who was in the show showed up with this 'bag o' heads" - in an ikea bag no less. i just thought it was dead-funny:

the night watchman however, he was seriously creeped out.
