Seeing 2010 (#17)

For your consideration: what apparently poses as the epitome of feminine chic and allure in a post-modern society . . . Roughly hewn and strong jawed, blank eyes testifying to a vacant, virtually emotionless stare, as if in disbelief of something vaguely apocalyptic yet inevitable looming in the distance.

All the more attractive standing in as it did for a Christmas season window display in a local mall; might the incongruity of this as a symbol of glad tidings and good cheer be the source of her countenance?
