Ideal Bite

Step one: Reuse it. Step two: See step one. Yep...we're talking about mannequins here. Oakland's Mannequin Madness sells and rents used dummies to event planners, smaller retailers, and anyone else looking for stiffs, without charging an arm and a leg. Particularly useful to artists and creepy people: MM sells parts too (legs are its best sellers). MM will also accept your Styrofoam packing materials and use them for shipping - so even if you don't need a new body (though we wouldn't mind that six-pack), it's worth putting MM on your radar. By reusing Styro - and deadbeats that bigger retailers would otherwise trash - it keeps heaps of nonbiodegradable materials out of landfills. Easy.
