Mannequins could often be found standing around the display department on the third floor of Macy's San Francisco store. Here was one whose head had developed a small crack.

A window in downtown Macy's exhibited sleepwear. One mannequin wore a pink trimmed sleep mask. Of course mannequins never sleep, so the mask was used only for effect.

A men's wear store on Sutter Street that is no longer there exhibited snow apparel that fall. Here was a glossy black mannequin wearing snow goggles and a ski jacket while holding a snowboard.

One way to advertise a liquor store was to have a romantic couple escaping from the second floor. This mannequin couple rappelled down a rope.

On one of the floats of that year's San Francisco's Pride Parade, a mannequin waved perpetually frozen to the crowds lining the street. She had been painted as if tattooed.

A modest gift shop in the small town of Tortugero, Costa Rica had a mannequin standing outside by the front door. She exhibited sun glasses and a whisper thin scarf suitable for the tropics.

A window display on Bridgeway in Sausalito featured an egg. Note that the scarf on this mannequin was molded as part of her head. Technically this was not a mannequin at all because she lacked legs.
