Totally inadvertent and unplanned, but here only one got animated, so it's like she's contemplating her still-inanimate companion:

I've fumbled into AI to work in the opposite direction - take existing photos of actual mannequins, and use the technology to make them come to life.

From a mix of memory and recent research, there are some TV segments involving living mannequins that have yet to surface in clip trading circles. Posting as much data here to help better TV collectors than I to find them.

"GOOD MORNING AMERICA" Wednesday, January 31, 1979
Reporter Mike Cerre ...

Once Drew Carey had taken over hosting "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" I had concluded mannequin posing was going to be dropped along with models wearing pantyhose, both out of modernization and of putting some distance between this incarnation and the Barker era.

So I was happily surprised that someone ...

Lynn Kristie did not run the "Isn't she lovely" model school in California.
Joyce Ricketts is the trainer there.

but the episode you spoke about was cute. It was a shame they could not have extended that out further as some of them were very talented.


Indeed.

Something both Lynn and Joyce ...

The episode is also on Amazon, where I purchased it, and with a cleaner look, I'm pretty sure at least two of the LM performers were also in the "REAL PEOPLE" profile. There is a credit at the end thanking Lynn Kristie's Modelkins. Wonder if they appeared on other TV programs?

FOUND IT!

On YouTube, there is an official PBS upload that they want you to buy:

But, if you're willing to put up with inferior PQ (and admittedly, it is pretty bad - it's a couple generations down, where you can suss out there are other LMs in the display windows but ...

Shocked that no one else has brought this up yet, but the new season of the AHS anthology spinoff starts Thursday night on Hulu, and the opening episode is called "Dollhouse," and they've made iconography from it front and center in their advertising.

There's a teaser video in this article. https ...

Unfortunately, the last time I did a search, most of the challengers were wearing masks. That's when I threw in the towel. :lol: I've refocused my efforts to the Living Mannequin group over on Facebook.


Is that a public or a private group? Many of us are not "out", I definitely am not, so being ...

I did ultimately get the whole package, and Greneker is correct, Sofia is a super poser and the photos are lovely and well-staged. I recommend this purchase.

I sent Sofia an email wanting to buy the whole set and requesting payment information, but I haven't heard back. Is she occupied with other obligations right now?

I don't have the footage handy, but the musical cue associated with "SQUID GAME" that has that eerie "HEE HEE HEE" cadence is extremely reminiscent of an episode of the B&W Japanese fantasy TV show AKUMA-KUN that was a favorite here, where an alien being possesses and animates mannequins and turns ...

This reminds me of a commercial from the '70s I've been desperate to find since I was a child. It was for carpeting, I don't remember the manufacturer unfortunately. But it had a woman walking around and standing among life-sized human-shaped standees/silhouettes of carpets. At the very end, she ...

All the way from 1978! With a near-baby Robb Weller before he decamped to 'ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT'. (She's only in the opening segment of the show, they don't bring her back later on)

I'm firmly in the light camp - dark has too many uncomfortable elements for me.

Just saw an episode of "AMERICAN PICKERS" where the fellows visit "Tom and Joe," brothers who, with their father, are insatiable collectors with multiple houses to hold their stuff. Joe collects coin-op games while Tom collects mannequins. At one point, Tom claims to have over 1000.

Some of the ...

Lots of references to some of our favorite cultural touchstones!

I had a session with LadyModel just a couple weeks ago, may just be a timing issue. Remember these performers have lives that can intrude on cam work.

I also recently caught up with Carolina Weber on LiveJasmin, fka Alsu4You on CamContacts; she said it's been months since anyone came requesting ...

Fun Twitter thread on story with typical skeeved out comments from the vanillas:

You have been missed so much! I'm happy to see you re-emerge. Like, pull me out of existential dread happy.

Like, the late Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy are singing, "The Boo is Back in Town" in my head right now.

Any idea where these photos originally came from?

Respectfully, since we all know Diana has taken a well-earned retirement, this is about as "new" as the ...

I can do that rate - I concur as well.

Today there were premature death notices for the literally statuesque ("6' 1" and worth the climb") Julie Strain. Among her other superb credits, made a quite awesome silver centerpiece in SUNSET HEAT with Michael Pare and Dennis Hopper.
