Meet the Queen of Hearts
She is in Orange Tree Antiques store window.....And I had a little to do with dressing this gorgeous lady.
Sherrie the owner of Orange Tree had an idea for a Valentines store window display. She gave me the mannequin, black corset, rhinestone belt, three decks of playing cards and a Christmas tree Skirt
Sherries vision was to dress the mannequin up with a bodice covered in heart playing cards. Thats where I came in.
I altered the corset top to get a tight fit, then brought out the glue gun and glued and glued heart playing cards onto the corset. Then turned the Christmas tree skirt inside out, added the rhinestone belt and brought her back to Orange Tree where Sherri added the top hat and shoes and put her in the store window
She had the queen of hearts playing card blown up at a local printer to hang next to her.
Cripes you have no idea how many times she startled me as she stood in my living room for a week. She's about 7 feet tall and every time I turned the corner I jumped....Glad she's in the store window where she belongs lol!

Gorgeous! She's soooo beautiful & sexy without being too revealing... "Nothing up my sleeve!"
Beautiful display! Gorgeous face on her! What a wonderful job. I can imagine she was a little startling whenever you turned around....especially because she's so tall. lol Congrats on another job well done.

Your last paragraph cracked me up!! I can imagine meeting up with a giant in the living room. She does look like a very confident queen ready to take on any one!♥♫
Totally divine. Girl, you could be on Project Runway's unconventional challenge.
She is shunning!
It makes me think of a challenge from the Runway. I love your creative head. You never cease to amaze me. Plus, you're just plain fun.
The first shot made me think of Victor/Victoria for some reason.
Just felt the need to toss that inane comment in there.
She looks terrific! Great job!
You are amazing! So very creative, she is a real show stopper. Great job!

Hello. Using my insomnia as a chance to catch up! Laughed when I read about the mannequin starling you! Dr Who has made mannequins forever creepy to me!
