Plump Mannequins

I was very surprised in a good way when I viewed this picture. An overweight mannequin?! Yes! It's a great thing to come across, especially because it's so rare to find. It's a little disappointing that it's hard to come across because in reality not every woman and man has as sexy of a figure compared to the typical mannequin, especially in the United States. I know most people would tend to think the clothes the mannequin's wear look the best on a slim structure, but 1/3 of America qualify as obese/ overweight, so I wonder if stores were to exchange most of their mannequin's ( slim ones) with some mannequins that are a larger (heavier) model, if there could be an increase or decrease in sales on the item the mannequin is wearing, after a long period of time in a particular store. I do know that these mannequins would oddly stand out and perhaps receive some chuckles, not like every overweight person that walks by is laughed at. These mannequins are supposed to be us.
