Elaine Benes in Thailand?
I am pursued and horrified by a mannequin that is everywhere I look in Thailand. I can't stand it - Bettysue warns me when we are approaching one so that I can look in the opposite direction. Those who remember the Elaine Benes mannequin episode of Seinfeld will perhaps understand this, but I wonder about the fixation the maker of this mannequin has. She looks like she was at a Full Moon Ecstacy Rave at Phuket. Sometimes she even has rainbow hair! If there was one thing I could change about Thailand it would be the elimination of this creature - and just for good measure, her creator and model. Chiang Mai is wonderful after Bangkok ... very laid back and clean. We have revisited some old friends - the noodle soup man across the road, vendors at the night market, and our non kick boxing masseuses. We are here for a couple of more days and then off to Laos for 10 days before we work our way back to Chiang Mai and Bangkok.

Awwww, man - I was hoping for a pboto of this freaky manaquin...perhaps the imagine is burned in your brain and a photo is an unwanted keepsake. Funny.
Perhaps not much internet in Laos? Thought about you yesterday as Donovan and I ran through the names of people we love and who love us. We blew Valentine's kisses into the sky - hope you received them! xoxo
Oh, and THANKS for emailing the photo of the E raving mannequin - she is pretty disturbing!
My friend Colleen recognized her from when she was in Asia two years ago. She said that the lady was bad but not as bad as the child mannequin.....
