Ignore the Sneering Dummy in the Window
Dec. 5th, 2007 08:19 pmI was the one who planned the route we would take from our hotel to the National Archaeological Museum of Naples: it was the quickest most straightforward path there. There would be no shopping or meandering. We did not have time on our hands and the archaeological remnants of Pompeii and Herculaneum were calling out to me.
I did not factor in the mannequins gracing the windows of some shop fronts into my plans. In retrospect: I should have.

We passed it initially. I looked at my friend, she looked at me and both of us were pondering the same thing: was that dummy sneering at us?
Yes it was. My friends, consider this proof that even shop window dummies have attitude when they're in Italy.
