Hi.. just was reading the paper and found something interesting so thought of sharing..
Dress code for mannequins..
Have heard about dress codes for parties, offices, or halloween but dress code for mannequins, sure is, kinda weird.. In Sharjah, they have come up with this dress code that mannequins too have to be dressed decently i.e. no indecent exposure.. They shouldnt even have any distinguished facial features.. So, I guess, from now on window shoppers would have to feast their eyes on burqa clad mannequins, literally, with a wooden face.. Hope the Shivsainiks or the so called caretakers of our society dont come to know about this, otherwise our Indian mannequins too will be taken to task.. This sorta reminds me of the famous castration that took place in the Vatican in 1857 (Ref: Angels 'n Demons).. The then Pope, Pius IX decided that the accurate description of the male form might incite lust inside the Vatican.. So he got a chisel and hacked off the genitalia of all the male statues inside the Vatican city. Plaster fig leaves were used to patch the damage.. I believe, none of the so called moral police in India know about this Vatican episode otherwise none of the statues or sculptures in the Indian temples would be spared the chisel..
