Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

To whom are they actually selling?

I don't know how to describe it. I was walking through Macy's with a friend and saw the following mannequin:

Mighty nipples on a mannequin.

I'm simply at a loss for words. I don't know to whom the clothing is targeted... but here's my guess:

The educated shopper who's constantly "excited".
The enlightened shopper with an overgrown nipple problem.
The trendy shopper with the curiously shaped bust.
Men. (Though you'd never catch me wearing that shirt.)

Enjoy it. Stop by Macy's and compliment them on their mannequins that - in my humble experience - look like no human being alive. It just makes sense.

Mike said...: You would be supprised on what people ask for. I work for a mannequin company and we have sexy mannequins that make this one look simple. lvmannequins.com; 9:34 PM, December 01, 2009
Chris Kim said...: Haha! Couldn't help but laugh. Yes, it is the "enlightened shopper with an overgrown nipple problem." I, like Mike, work for a mannequin store (click here)and honestly, I would say 98% of the mannequins have nipples. Customers comment all the time about them. I'll ask the manufacturers why they make them that way
