Is this a bit like those guys who buy lifesize dolls as companions because they don't answer back?
I'd be perturbed if I thought my neighbour was standing in his window peering out of the half closed blinds, but if someone told me it was a mannequin, and not real, I guess it wouldn't bother me.
^ I think you misunderstood. Those people are just fetish weirdoes. They like it.
Sometimes they sit next to each other on tapping jobs and ask the other one to play dead.
I promise you I am not winding you up. I too thought it was too funny to be believed. I even emailed the local paper but i suspect they might agree with you.
Added. No Barry and Charlotte are both quite attractive.
Have you got any photos that you can take to show us?
If you have, first make sure Barry's flies are done up.

Actualy when I first bought them I wondered if I had a fetish. But I don't think I have. I really bought them to practice my portrait photography. The funny thing about all this is the neighbours love them and often call in and ask how I'm doing with them.

Wouldn't it be better to practice with real people?

No because they cost money and they too have suspicious minds. I'm doing it for arts sake and nothing else. Just as i told one young lady who wished to sit for me I do not do pornography.

Not my type of music, but there was a documentary on the other week about people who like to dress up in plastic. Right down to the facial. It was fascinating to watch. I think they were called plastiphiles???

Not if you enrol in an adult education life drawing class, they're not expensive and far better practice drawing real people than plastic pretend one's.
I have standing at my living room window a male mannequin. He has stood there behind the partly open blinds (or closed which everway you look at it) looking onto the street for the last 4 months with no problem. He is decently dressed in a shirt and trousers. Nothing in no way that could offend anyone. That was until today when the police called to tell me there has been a complaint. I invited the police in to take a look at him. ‘Now is there is anything offensive about him’ I asked. The police agreed with me there was not but thought it would be a good idea to take him away from the window as they thought he might get something thrown at him. I refused and said he is staying where he is – inside my house where he has been for the last 4 months. The police gave no reason what the nature of the complaint was or of course who it was that made the complaint. So I complained what a waste of time and resources to come and look at a fully clothed mannequin that they could do nothing about. I reminded them of the freedom to do as I please in my own house, providing its within the law. Amazingly they reluctantly in a round about way agreed but sheepishly left my house. I do not know the law. But what I do know is when I am breaking it. And that’s not just wind either.
It could be that people find it intimidating or an invasion of privacy. If i walk along my street and kind of see someone at their window i don't stare back at them, but i do find it uncomfortable and unnatural that they visibly made it known they are looking at you especially as they track you by turning their head as you walk the whole way past them. maybe people have at a glance thought this was a real person and are just fed up being "observed" However, no law for looking out your own window or for putting a mannequin in fit, so, basically sod them really!!! lol

But he's not practising drawing, he's practicing photography. I don't think a life drawing class would appreciate someone snapping away with a camera!

Yes I have. They are on Flickr....And yes his fly is pulled up. I made sure of that.

Pornography IS a form of art, fascist.

They are very far away.
Do you pose barry and charlotte together?
Yes I have some pics of them together on my files somewhere. I did a really good one of them embraced but I seem to have lost that one.
