Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for March 26, 2025

I love the way you value things. Some things have a value beyond the logic of everyday life. And of course, a FULL SIZE MANNEQUIN! What more needs to be said?

A man needs several pin ball machines.

Which machines are they?

cut it short – the tires are flat shrug

Clearly the mannequin should play pinball when they’re not in use.

Space really is the final frontier in our house. Storage space for example.

Impressive! A.t.G. understands hyphens and compound adjectives! Seriously!

Why would anybody but a clothier or designer want such a thing? I guess it’s in the same category as my wife’s hedgie plush (and ceramic, and wooden, and porcelain) collection. And my vintage (steel, rubber wheels, no rust!) Radio Flyer wagon. Never mind.

Plural.

Now that Dan has pinball machines, he has to buy Amanda a mannequin or two. It’s only fair.

Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to…..

Well, then, obviously, it’s t!t for tat, Amanda. Tell that to Dan.

My husband kept a broken pachinko game. And told me I couldn’t buy more stuffed animals, so my friends gave me stuffed animals for all occasions.

The mannequin is for her art, so it’s business related. Like those little wooden posable ones.

Full sized mannequins provide limitless decor opportunities. Many more yhan pinball machines or coin op video games.
