Eye Candy

On a late night in Ibiza (Elvissa) Town, there's eye-candy galore. Watch who walks by and what they're wearing. Try to land a spot at an outdoor bar and your view becomes entertainment enough for the evening. But do give up your seat for awhile & take a late night walk by the shops (they're open, of course). You'll see a different take on fashion. One that's hardly lively but not to be missed. On the mannequins. Casually posed out front of shops. Or in windows. But forget what they're wearing. Most of it is nondescript white cotton frocks anyway. It's the mannequins themselves that become the show. Whole families, city slickers, carnival characters & divas of plastic, plaster & various compositions silently stand by. But get closer. Check out their smirks, the innuendos & the playfulness. Most of these stiffly posed models look like they belong to an earlier era. Though tight-lipped, they do tell you something about the cultural state of Ibiza. It's an island with a mixed-bag, freewheeling society. Where young & old, hip & out-of-date blend with perfection. Nothing is out of the "norm" for Ibiza. Including this bizarre-looking mannequin population.
