Mrs Pouncer: I had to look that one up (milksop, that is). You’ve chosen an interesting way to pounce on my remarks…

Wendy: Jacksons is certainly unique (and I mean that in a positive way). I think the mannequins are also perfect-looking, only some of them look a little creepy, too

Mr Brady, you are a milksop. There was nothing “chilling” about the mannequins, and nothing Victorian, either. I suspect that, like most youngsters, you have been brought up to believe that all mannequins, dressmakers’ dummies and bustforms possess powers of corruption. This is a story told by mothers to sons in a vain attempt to keep them from applying to the London College of Fashion after leaving school. All mothers pray that their sons will become plumbers. That is their tragedy. Cordially yours, Mrs Pouncer, a mother.

They were still there on 30th June.
I like them.
Imagine if Jacksons too stooped to only ‘perfect-looking’ mannequins, the normal ‘Stepford-wives’ style of decidedly underwieght fashion-image of the day models. Hoorah for Jacksons, protecting their cutomers from unrealistic ideals or molly-coddling, they really are the cutting-edge of quality.
