I have a new friend...  welcome Helga, the cheapest clothes horse I could find on ebay. 
 



 

I got a bit of a shock when I opened the box, cos she was disconcertingly large... apparently I have inadvertently purchased the 'long' model (yes, yes, I Know!)   When we first put her together, the smallest she would go was about 6'4" (she looked comical enough standing next to G, but I would have had to stand on a chair to photograph her).  So after much violent squishing G managed to force the metal pole through her internal organs and bring her down by a foot.

Of course there is nowhere sensible for her to live in our weeny residence, so she is fated to double up as an all-purpose hanging surface.  Perhaps she can be next year's christmas tree.  (At least she's classier than Stella, eh  [info]steer?)

Why "Helga"? Is she particularly teutonic?

She is thoroughly teutonic and no nonsense. If she had legs, they would be the sort that could break your ribs.

She is indeed... I hope I don't dent her. (Note to self.... do not get drunk and throw spiky shoes in her direction.) She's made of polystyrene... with a thin cloth stretched over her.

Yeah, she looks far classier than she really is... :-p

I think she's quite attractive actually!

Well, Stella is not looking her best and the puncture repair kit did not help as much as you'd think!

We do have a dressmaker's dummy too but she's an extra wide with those little adjustment cogs -- she's not really much of an adornment to a room.

She's also rock solid... if you like that kind of thing!

Hands off, I saw her first.

Remember you get private photography rights to Helga (I realise that will sound way more pervy than intended to anyone who does not know what I'm on about)

Ok now you really do need to explain yourself...

I had one of those adjustable ones when I was a teenager... (Helga #1). She must have been like yours cos even on her smallest setting she was about 3 times bigger than my dress size so she ended up living in the shed.

The tailor's dummy is part of the marge-inalia in our flat. It's just taking up space, neither of us can sew.

So how in god's name did you end up owning one? (Did it just come with the flat?) At least it's a little friend for Stella...
