A friend and I went to Leeds City Council tip to take some rubbish. We saw two old mannequins standing there. A male and a female. We asked the staff if we could have the female mannequin, they said yes, so we put it in the back of the car.

I had to repair the nose. She had no arms. I repainted it in silver and black. I used the mannequin to sell clothes and homemade hats on eBay.

After a few years I put the mannequin up for sale on eBay. Sold it to a fashion shop in Keighley.

The shop owner’s father came and collected it from my house.
