eBay WTF of the Day - Mannequin Crotch Wracket

I think we can all agree that this jacket is kinda weird. It's like someone took a black leather robe (which they must have had for dubious reasons in the first place) and cut it off at the waist. It's like a black leather wrap-jacket. A wracket.

It also looks like it's made for a Barbie doll -- look at the waist-to-shoulder ratio! And the sleeves are pre-ruched for that plastic arm bend.

But that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the mannequin crotch. I mean ... is that okay with you? I feel that this is an unspoken faux pas that someone must name: do not show me the crotch of your mannequin.

I totally remember catching sight of a nude mannequin at JoAnn Fabrics as a child, and I was so embarrassed. Why? Because I had my decency intact, and because showing "non-parts" is ishy, as exemplified by Marilyn Manson's "Mechanical Animals" album art and Renee Zellweger at the Golden Globes.

Here's the butt. I'll send you $14.99 just to put panties on that thing.

... actually, that might be worse. WTF?
