Lady Gaga at Shangri La

Roz Mita — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:56:38 +0000

Undoubtedly the most talented artist at this years Glastonbury Festival was Lady Gaga. How honoured we were to see her appear live on stage with our mannequins.

We are back after a successful trip with the mannequins to Glastonbury Festival. Not only did they stand on stage for the duration, they also appeared with Lady Gaga – when she did her secret gig at Club Dada, Shangri La. We were delighted as she announced how much she enjoyed performing with the mannequins. Kelvin Clone even had his privates fondled by her! (He is now charging double his usual hire fee!) Some pre photos here, with more to follow shortly.

Elephant vs Leopard & Some Mannequins

Mannakin Ltd offered its warehouse space, complete with over 200 mannequins last weekend during the shooting of a music video for alternative punk rock band, Elephant vs Leopard – so called because their music sounds like an elephant fighting a leopard. Roz Mita, Director of Mannakin Ltd said, “Not only did the group turn our warehouse into a film studio for the weekend, they also did location shooting at The Boundary Pub, a local park, inside Reel Cinema as well as outside my Chatsworth Road home, where Mannakin was started. The band, based in Peterborough and London, have been very grateful for the hospitality they received whilst in Newark.”

Dangerous Dave Injured In Car Crash

Further to allegations of his secret drinking habits and rowdy behaviour, Dangerous Dave has been involved in a car crash to be aired on Channel Five’s Fifth Gear on Monday 18 August at 8pm. To the presenters and production crew of the show, he and his girl-friend Joyce were simply employed to demonstrate the dangers of rolling convertable cars, but we know better in Mannakin Land and that it was a result of Dangerous Daves alchoholic antics.

Reports say he picked up new girl-friend Joyce and was showing off in his convertable after drinking heavily throughout the day. Once behind the wheel, it was a serious case of Rock n Roll.

Dangerous Dave and Joyce are currently in the spare part department of Dollby City Hospital waiting for repairs. Roz Mita, Mannakin director said, ‘It is a relief that although involved in a serious crash, both mannequins are fit enough for repairs, saving yet more junk from going into landfill.’

Repairs are due to start next week. Watch this space!

Mannakin Launches Casualty Range

Roz Mita — Sun, 25 May 2008 20:21:42 +0000

We have often been asked by clients for old used mannequins that cost little to hire. These may be for birthday parties, or to go under an alien costume. So after having a good sort out, we have launched the almost humourus ‘casualty range’. These are dummies and bits of dummies that have been reconstructed to make a new model. Fresh out of our very own Dollby City and with enough WD40 pescriptions to see them into next year, we hope these mannequins will fill your needs.

Available to hire at just £45 + VAT each delivered and collected by overnight courier, (or £15 plus VAT each if you come and collect and return yourself) these beauties can be hired by the week to fulfill the most imaginative of themes and completion of creative projects. Mannequin hire includes a wig for the dummy that we will supply from our range of ‘Dallas Wigs’.

The first assignment for this group of five, named Doris, Mavis, Gladys, Flossie and Petunia is actually a popular TV programme. Details will follow just as soon as we are allowed to reveal more!

Hopefully these girls will be the answer for those creative projects on a budget. They don’t get any cheaper than this! Call Mannakin on 01636 610954 or 07757513584 for more information.
