Fact!....made up by me just now... Romans love mani too! The Mannequins in Italy are amazing and so unique. they have now inspired me so much that some day I would like to open a mani museum and have all the top designers in the world donate or decorate a manniquinn. Do you realize how cool/creepy that could be! simply awesome!!! here is just a taste of some of the cool mani's we saw there. To explain a few. In Venice, instead of manniquins they have masks everywhere. we didn't really see any full manniquins because they don't really sell clothes there...I'm sure they do somewhere but not where we were they sell thousands of masks for their carnival. which is like our marti gras. So the below are some of the masks, the face in the wall is at the leaning tower of piza, on the cathedral. not sure what its doing there someone just thought they would stick it there or maybe someone fell and dried in the cement there. who knows. the bottom one is bread! they are obsessed! fabulous!
| at the Castle de St. Angelo, the vendor we borrowed this mani from thought we were trying to steal it! ha ha crazy street vendors |
