(Owner: "I <i>cannot afford</i> another disaster like this, people! Someone go put the blasted thing on that mannequin in the basement and stick it out front to get people's attention....[*mumble, mumble*...Good night, <i>who's supposed pay for this?</i> ...maybe we can get SOMETHIN' out of this disaster...*mumble, mumble*] JAAAAACKIEEEEEE! <i>Get in here</i> and take care of this mess. For Pete's sake, what to you idiots think I'm made of...<i> MONEY?!</i>") I had a friend who used to tease me about getting a summer job modeling the dress in that Bible-quality fiery furnace of a display case in the sweltering west sun. Hey...maybe <i>this</i> mannequin was retired after just such a distinguished career! Or maybe these folks are just sick.

All I can think of is "Phantome of the Opera". The phantome kept a bust of his beloved (aka) obsession wearing a bridal gown in his bedroom. I'm inclined to think this was a tounge-in-cheek humor attempt. At least I really, really, hope so. You can find ANYTHING on e-bay now.

I think it was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek commentary that would draw more interest to the dress, but, really...just no. OTOH, I think Door Number 3 is a good idea of what to do once you get it home! That’s…just…words fail me.
