What a Difference a Mannequin Makes!

So I've been laid off again. Sigh. I actually got to really love the job and the people so I was sad to go.  Long story short, a permanent replacement transferred to take the job I was in. She has been working in a similar position at their other building and well it meant I had to go.  However I got raving reviews from my manager and she offered her recommendation if I needed it at any job I apply.

Anyway, every other day I check Craigslist for cheap dress forms/mannequins.  I finally found one for $30! 


The dress forms ended up not being the actual ones pictured. The seller found the pics online, but they're pretty much the same except, they were missing the top wood knobs.  I bought both, one for my friend who just started selling on eBay again and she will be keeping one.

So now my pictures on my clothing listings have gone from looking like this:



To looking like this:



Doesn't that look a million times better?  And its amazing how quick I can take pictures and it is so much more fun.  It's like playing dress up with my dolls when I was little lol.
