The fella comes home from work hoping for a hot meal.
"Where's my pot roast? I'm hungry."
The woman, in the kitchen, hears his voice and sighs. She walks to the dining room, drying her hands on her apron.
"Listen dummy, you'll get your pot roast when I'm good and ready to serve it to you!"
And so it goes each night in the home of Mary and her hubby, the Man-nequin.
Seriously, is this a photo of a man or a mannequin? I'm open to all suggestions.

A fifties man expecting the little woman to havr his tea ready on the table when he gets home. As if..........
ReplyDeleteI see we have a new category. He's definitely modeling for Madame Tussaud's wax museum.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is he's real. I spotted some crinkles at the corner of his eye.
ReplyDeleteGawd - you've got me. He does look a bit plastic doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteHis smile looks fake to me, just a little too smooth. If he's real he's a very smarmy fellow!
ReplyDeleteLooks unreal to me. What else is she supposed to call him?
ReplyDeleteThey didn't have Photoshop back then! He does look plastic but the hair seems realistic. I am in two minds!
ReplyDeleteWhat was that stuff called? Bakelite?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one confused. I do like the idea of a Bakelite fella.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he could be blind. He doesn't seem to be looking at anything.
ReplyDeleteYes, the eyes look strangely dead.
DeleteI did look online for mannequins from the 1930s and there were some that looked "almost" human. So I'm still thinking he might be a mannequin. Plus the background looks overly blurred as if in a catalogue where the focus is meant to be on the foreground.
I am reminded of "Three and a Half Men" show where Rose "marries" Manny Quinn.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it. Was her Manny Quinn as slick looking as this one?
