Barbie Q II - a photo on Flickriver

Barbie Q II

            Taken at KT's Barbeque carry out in the Reading suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The owner of the now defunct KT's was a bit of a character who had a scantily clad busty mannequin that was a duplicate of this one outside his restaurant  which resulted in notoriety and controversy both locally and nationally.  As it turned out, there was another duplicate in a antique store just up the street.  

Since I like taking mannequins and because the shop was conveniently located for me, I used to stop by regularly to get shots and try some BBQ.  The whole thing might have gotten boring quickly except that her costumes changed fairly often thanks to an agreement he made with a nearby vintage and costume store called "Talk of the Town" which also had some cool mannequins of their own which I shot.  

There are several shots of Barbie Q throughout my "Mannequin" album where you can see some of the various costumes she wore.
