This was certainly a fun store to walk by on a recent trip home from an appointment. Rootstein is a world leader in the design and manufacture of artistic mannequins. The British company, started by Adel Rootstein in the 1950s has recently been acquired by Italian mannequin manufacturer Bonaveri. Photographed at Rootstein Display Mannequins, located on West 19th Street, NYC.
Someone with a sense of humor, a slight artistic bent and a love of Metalocalypse drew the face of Dr. Rockso, the Rock & Roll Clown (he does Cocaine) on a dollar bill. So, it gets to be on my site, because it is awesome.
Larry Harmon Poses With the Clown That Made Him Famous
Larry Harmon, better known as one of many actors to portray the frightening, redheaded ‘60s children’s show host Bozo the Clown, has died at age 83. As a kid, I used to watch the original Bozo The Clown show on TV, but that was more because it was the only thing on, as opposed to it being really high quality broadcast entertainment. Bozo was the most ghetto kids’ show ever, but the character still gets bragging rights in the “Entertainment legend” category, even if the show absolutely sucked. And I’m not much of a fan of clowns anyway.
