Mannequin the Prequel. :p

Unfortunately Evelyn's wooden personality was not just malicious gossip. :p :D

Fred's new girl was a little stiff, but he figured after a few drinks she would loosen up!


hehe!!!!!!!!!!:D

...She took New York by storm! she made the rounds at parties around New York. When partygoers tried to engage the mannequin in conversation, she begged off by claiming she was suffering from a touch of laryngitis.


at the Theater of course!

Out of the corner of her eye she could tell that Harry had been drinking.

"Lovely orchestra, eh, Ev?" Evelyn stared straight ahead trying to ignore him which she generally did most of the time. "It looks like they're playing our song, love," chortled Harry. Feeling a bit uncomfortable Fred tried to change the subject.

"You know, I've read such great reviews for this show, Harry"

"No doubt it will be a tremendous success," said Harry, "Knock on wood."

:D

The worst part about dating Evelyn were the splinters.

I'll be in town all week. Try the chicken.

Sadly :(....Cynthia’s demise occurred in 1939 when she apparently slipped from a chair at a beauty salon and smashed into a thousand pieces. Her passing was reported in the New York Times.

Happily, we are lucky enough to be left with a remembrance of her... in her lovely photos ... she might be gone, yes, forgotten never.



so, so many lovely dinner parties she gave ...

Let us remember, her death need not be in vain, she purportedly donated her body to science so that all those like "Cynthia" could benefit and live healthy, productive lives. She is truly an angel that graced us with her presence for but a short flicker of time ..[angel]

She left her vast art collection to the "Kookenhiem Museum".

I think I rebuilt her in the mid 80s when I worked in a mannequin shop. (The stories I could tell)
