Of Mannequins and Their Sizes

When we went window shopping last Saturday, the kids were laughing at a certain mannequin at one of the sports stores  we went to. My youngest daughter remarked that it was “ang laki ng muscles!” or “the muscles are big!” I looked at the guy mannequin and laughed too, for he looked like he had too much hgh supplements 😀

On second thought, the place was a sports store so a muscled mannequin wearing sports clothes is just fitting. In the clothes section, lady mannequins look like life-size barbie dolls and this does not represent the average woman’s size. Ahem, ahem.

I cringe when I see mannequins with big bosoms and ample hips. Do they really have to do that?

A different idea: for those wanting to propose their love to their loved one can give this cake as a gift and a carrier of something else. Wouldn’t it be nice to see loose diamonds on a ring on top of the cake? 😀 Woot!

Mojos and zesty garlic dip from Shakey’s.

Mojos and Zesty garlic dip

An absolute favorite of the kids. I admit I like it too (with ketchup and chili sauce) if not for the “deep fried” part. Anything deep-fried is a no-no to me 🙁

This is a wonderful side dish as long as the slices are well done and crispy and not soggy.
