Status: Real Wall, Fake Breasts
Retailers are always coming up with new gimmicks to help their customers. I'm surprised none of them have thought of this before (reported in the
Hindustan Times):
Men who want to woo their ladies by buying them sexy-scanty upper garments, but don't know their sizes, need not look confused anymore, as a designer in Netherlands has made their job much easier by creating a wall of fake breasts to help male shoppers buy bras that fit their wives or girlfriends. Wendy Rameckers, who works at the Piet Zwart Institute for Retail and Design in Rotterdam, has made a wall consisting of rows of silicon breasts in all sizes. She believes that by look and touch, male shoppers can work out the right size.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate a picture of this breast wall. But why stop at a wall? Why not display differently proportioned mannequins to help men find the right size?

Might actually make men a lot more willing to do some shopping.
Ohhh... but I have. :cheese:
Second, St. Nicholas is not "Santa Claus' fictional sidekick in Dutch tradition". It's the opposite. Santa Claus is based on St. Nicholas.

Anyways, there really was a Dutch graphic designer named Piet Zwart! Bauhaus. Had a personal logo that was just a letter P and a black square.
Maybe not as spectacular as envisioned?
It is a display in a trade show for retail design: Shop!nl.

Right! Sorry for the misinterpretation. English is not my native language.

By the way, wim, I think you mean "real silicone." Silicone is that rubber-like substance they use for breast implants. Silicon is that glass-like substance they use for computer chips.
