Dust off your Mannequin, Ski Season is coming!
Another dusting of snow happened a couple of nights ago up in the mountains. Ski season soon approaches.
Speaking of dusting, I need to dust my mannequin. I have kept my mannequin Debbie in ski garb all year, eagerly awaiting the return of skiing. She’s gotten a little dusty. I brought her home from my last employer, who had stored her in my office for most of the 10 years I worked there. When I left, I asked if Debbie could come with me. The request was just weird enough to work. I was quite a site driving home on the interstate that day.
A year or so before that, I asked if I could change her outfit. Again, request granted – “no questions asked.” I dressed her like Laura Croft (She had big guns) for halloween, a hula dancer in the summer, and ski bunny in the winter. Since I’ve become self employed, she’s pretty much kept the same ski outfit on. And since my wife has joined me working from home, Debbie’s clothes changes are conspicuously less frequent. And mannequin bathing is clearly out. Er… forget I said that.
I’m starting to realize not every home office has a mannequin. What weird thing did you bring home from work?
