Are These Baby Gap Mannequins Too Sassy For Their Own Good?

This Baby Gap store window display in NYC caught our eye and we just had to snap a pic for your review. Yeah, the jeans are adorable, but the girl mannequin appears to be midway through a pelvic thrust (do babies have that kind of coordination?) and he’s popping enough collars to be initiated into a frat without even dealing with hazing. Beyond that, those are some, uh, slender babies, no? They may be headless, but we have difficulty picturing much baby fat on top of those model-esque bodies.

Last night, I was walking home and noticed these mannequins in a store window. At first, I was outraged. What man thought it would be awesome to buy a mannequin with ginormous breasts? And then something else occurred to me: Now large-chested woman know they can fit into the store’s clothes! Well, as long as they have a 17-inch waist and sticks for legs. Keep reading »
