She does. And never complains about being hungry or tired or cold, etc

Can she sign a model release? Or are you taking a chance that she won't sue?

BTW: These Styrofoam ladies are great subjects. The only problem with mine is that there are highlights painted onto her eyes. I wish she had glass eyes which would actually show refections and highlights from the lights...

I have a mannequin too and named her Patience. :)

AJ - I bought mine from Amazon - just do a search for "md-megan mannequin". It doesn't come with a wig so I bought one (also from Amazon) for less than $15.
Here's a shot of Patience if you're interested. http://www.pbase.com/b​ob_r/image/141282049 (external link)

Sigma 150 macro, 1.4X, 2X, Quantaray 2X, Kenko closeup tubes, Yongnuo YN685(3), Yongnuo YN-622C-TX. Lots of studio stuff.

I like the concept. Clamshell looks too flat to me.

Thanks, Bob. Patience is a cutie :lol:

Do you prop her on a stand, I suppose?
