“IN 1936, a glamour girl named Cynthia became a minor toast of the town. She went around with a guy named Lester, who took her to all the showoff places — the opera, El Morocco — and the next year she made the cover of Life. Cynthia would get fan mail, but if anyone ever got a reply, it was guaranteed to come from Lester. That’s because Cynthia was a mannequin.”
When I began reading this article, I thought Cynthia was this amazing person; someone I thought by the end of the article would be an inspiration! Finding out she was a mannequin was disappointing. She got fan mail and Lester would answer it, if answered. I thought she was so important that she didn’t have time to answer fan mail. After reading it a couple times, I realized it was a dead giveaway. He took her to “all the showoff places.” I mean come on, I can’t believe I fell for it. This is so jank! On the plus side, the rest of the article was interesting. It talking about mannequins of course and how they used to represent people. You can find it at this link:
