They Put This Mannequin In Their Window Display And Put The Biggest Smile On Her Face

If there is one thing that is true in the world around us, it’s the fact that it is always trying to squeeze us into a single mold. Even though we are unique individuals and we differ from each other in a variety of ways, there is the accepted norm by the majority, and if we are not fitting in with that norm, we are looked down upon or at times, even outcast.

One of the ways in which this can be seen is through mannequins. It seems like something relatively simple to most people, as they are there to only hold the clothing that we wear. When you really get down to it, however, mannequins often portray both men and women according to the ideal size and shape, at least according to the world around us. The female mannequins tend to be extra slim and it can give many women a complex, making them feel as if they aren’t acceptable.

The fact of the matter is, however, nobody is perfect and that even includes those who tend to fit in the accepted norm. All of the efforts of the world around us to fit us into a single, structured profile is sure to fail. That is what makes the shop mannequins so absolutely incredible. Rather than being designed after people who, in many cases, don’t exist, they are designed after people who do exist. They are dressed nicely and put in the proper setting in the store window, but they are designed after those individuals who are who they are.

Does something like this have the power to change the world? Not necessarily, but it does help to change a small part of the world and it is part of a greater good. When you see the mannequins I’m speaking of in this video, you will understand.
