The famous Decter "laughing girl" vintage female mannequin.

Description

There are a lot of classic Decter mannequins from the 1960's, and here's a legendary one that hasn't been available since the 1970's.  She's back....
Just like the lip-licker and the winker and the "singer", the "laughing girl" hasn't been seen for a very long time.  Available again from the company that started making her right around 1965, you may choose either a full body or 3/4 mannequin, as shown, for the same price.  We show her here with vintage make-up and hair-but let me tell you, she looks terrific in today's clothes and hair as well.  Just let us know whether you'd prefer the vintage make-up shown (with turquoise blue eye shadow!) or a more subtle, modern look.
Your choice-either the full mannequin with feet, or the classic 3/4 style, which was often used on top of rounder racks.  Either style is the same price.
Decter has been making mannequins for decades-and our process hasn't changed very much.
Like all Vaudeville/Decter mannequins, it's of the highest quality.  Made of heavy fiberglass and resin, literally by hand.  The casting of each piece, the hand sanding, the primer, more hand sanding, the two topcoats plus another overcoat-all done by hand.  The beautiful paintwork on each face in a combination of airbrushing, acrylics, and oils, all done by hand.  You can see individual "hairs" in each eyebrow.
Let us know what color you'd like the eyes to be....
Each mannequin is made to order in our factory in Los Angeles.
As a matter of fact, every single thing that Vaudeville makes is made right here in the USA-we're very proud of that.  (The only exception is our mannequin wigs.  The wigs themselves are made outside of the country, but all styling is done here).
The mannequin comes with a glass base and ankle rod stand.  Wig shown is not included.  (Please let us know if you'd like a wig-we can make up this wig for an additional charge).

Shipping costs
are for the
continental U.S
..  Please contact us for shipping costs to AK & HI.  We
do not
ship to countries other than the U.S. and Canada.
We pack our mannequins extremely well to eliminate damage during shipping.  This means that our boxes are rather large, and right now, shipping charges are incredibly high.  Also-this is a one piece body.  That means that the box will definitely be large, and that adds to cost.
We don't add mark up to our shipping-we try to stay as close to actual costs as possible. If you or your company has a FedEx or UPS account, we're very pleased to ship under your own account.  Just supply with the account numbers and shipping address.
Please note: if you live in an extremely high-cost shipping area (like NYC or Los Angeles), we do reserve the right to contact you if shipping costs are higher than quoted below.
