Seeing 2009 (#88)

Tonight's submission: the first subject I countered during last weekend's extemporaneous late evening meanderings around Campbell's downtown district.

I found this storefront window tableau bemusing, thanks to the arrangement of an incongruous bauble laden miniature Eiffel Tower near a suggestively female mannequin's feet. The juxtaposition of diminutive statue and looming curvaceous form reminded me of a long-ago wry lyric from a 1960s female singer, Melanie: "anything is a phallic symbol if it's longer than it's wide."
