Mannequin
Jonathan Switcher, a down-on-his luck artist bounces around from one job to the next and never manages to keep any. He falls in love when he makes a mannequin. He feels like an artist for the first time when he makes it. Jonathan is surprised to find the mannequin displayed prominently in Prince and Company’s window. He is awarded a position as a stockboy at the store after he saves the lives of the elderly lady who owns that store. Later, the mannequin is renamed Ema “Emmy” Hesire after an Egyptian princess from 2514 BC. This femme fatale is charming and dynamic, helping Jonathan to turn around his career. She also inspires him to be the top window-dresser in town. Emmy quickly discovers the reality of life isn’t so simple when she meets rivals who are determined to take her out of business.
