    The story behind this OOAK mannequin is the LA owner I bought it from got it from his girlfriend who got it from a landlord who got it from a former tenant and there the story grows cold. My best guess is it came from a boutique on Sunset Strip during the Carnaby Street MOD clothes craze. Anyone on the West Coast recall seeing this? The details of this piece are as follows. Roughly 39" tall, fiberglas, hand painted with oil paint - originally had a light inside of the mannequin - inoperable at this time. Second photo shows how I use it on display - all the items shown on the mannequin will be featured at another time so you can see them clearly. I really like this piece, the wear and tear does not bother me - this is an original item and one of a kind.
