Series II # 6 PNZ’s Dearest Manikins

Manikins have long captivated Zoytlow and happily so. As a child, a visit to a department store was not complete without a visit to the clothing departments, which featured women, men, and some children. There they stood in all their poised elegance with lovely turned feet and with the artistry of their arms. And while beautiful, these manikins always seemed to look askance. Something had called to them from another dimension. None of them ever looked at the mortals who shopped nearby. The best ones stood on low platforms where the visitor had to look upwards. Later on, when Zoytlow was a young adult, he would have his favorites, and that was when he began taking their photos. Eventually, the collection grew to dozens of individuals. However, over time, the taste of merchants changed, and the range of expressions was more disappointing. Still, Zoytlow now fancied himself a historian of the phenomenon. He wants us to know that manikins deserve our attention and our respect.
