thought i'd give you all a laugh at my sisters expense.
for christmas this year i recieved a manakin.
it was sitting by a pile of presents rocking slightly on the wooden floor.
this scared the life out my 15 year old sister and she's convinced its posessed.
of course this brought many plans to my mind of how i could use it in the future.
i found my mums wedding dress in the basement and dragged in up the stairs and put in on the manakin. I then proceeded to remove the head and arms from a porcelin doll (i have millions) and attach it to the body using wires and old shirts for padding.
the "bride" was then placed in her room behind the door where she found it at 3 in the morning when she went up to bed :
she screamed so loud my gran came running up the stairs..she then sat on the stair rocking back and forward, tears running down her face for several minutes..
i got a kick out it anyway
