Hello Mannequin Friends old and new!!!

My dream as a child was to always to work in Window Display and work with our fascinating, fiberglass look-a-likes. in 1973 I began doing windows at J.C.Penny in my small home town of Gladewater, Texas and soon I was repairing my badly abused mannequins so I've been in the business forever!!!

My niche' is quality, custom mannequins for Display, Museums, Exhibit, five star repairs, attaching heads, Custom figures for Display, Museums, Exhibits, Events and Collectors. Specialization in sculpting existing faces to resemble celebrities. If it's broken, send it to me I will fix it right the first time-If you want your mannequin to really look life-like I can install quality hand blown glass eyes, combined with a new customized hand applied make-up in oil paint they can look as though they will speak to you or your customers and isn’t that the idea?

I can Design and Create Custom Make-up's in oils as well as Custom Horsehair OOAK Mannequin Wigs for my Mannequin Friends & clients. Keep me in mind for all your mannequin needs.

MY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL!!!

I also am an old fashioned Window Dresser with a fresh point of view. I've been a fashion illustrator and Artist in general working in with brush and airbrush in oils, acrylics on canvas, panel,textile, Harley tanks, vans, cars, cheerleader megaphones, etc.

I love Vintage anything and would love my own shop one day, I love also vintage mannequins where the make-up is original and untouched!!!

I look forward to a long friendship getting to know all of you!!!

Sincerely,

Philip P. Porter
