So... as I promised before... I am going to share with the world some of the very random things we say in the live photo studio.....
To us, these statements make complete sense. Not one person thinks twice. We just "get it". That doesn't mean we are crazy, we have just learned to adapt to our environment, like mutated animals working for survival of the fittest. Outsiders may find us confusing, inappropriate or just down right odd, but don't judge too soon... we get the job done day after day, and I must say, we can bring it when quality AND quantity of our products combine!
Mannequin related quotes out of context:
"I can't find the hole, which leg is it in?"
- This occurs often. Our mannequins have holes in the bottom of one foot to place them on stands. When holding the mannequins in the air, sometimes we have trouble getting them on their stands without being able to see which foot has the allotted hole.
"I have to feel her butt to know where the square is."
- Again with getting the mannequins on their stand. The females have corresponding holes in the butt cheek and bottom of foot for stands to hold up the mannequins. We typically only use the ones in the foot, but the one in the cheek can provide guidance when the mannequin in lifted up as to which leg will match up with the stand.
"Do you know who's arms these are?"
- Pretty simple. The mannequins arms come off for an easier change of clothes, however, if too many mannequins have their arms removed at the same time, it can get confusing!
All too true! I hate it when I can't find the holes!! and those arms really can overrun the studio bays... Good times!
