Small Bizarres No. 93 - Strike a (Mannequin) Pose, Doha...

The above, somewhat 'suggestive', window display can be found in one of the shops at the Pearl in Doha. Assumably the pose is unintentional, but it does provide an interesting contrast to a set of posters found in a clothing-shop window at the Villaggio Mall... Good times...
