Newspaper style head mannequin

B.A._Baracus

A random thread and wondering if someone can help

I was in Cork months ago and saw a mannequin head in a window of a shop. Can't remember which shop or the name of the street (as you may have guessed first time in Cork) I took a picture but it seemed I deleted it.

Now I need it as reference for something. Does anyone know the shop in question? Or even better a picture of it would be massively appreciated.


... Or maybe I should just go back to cork? :pac:

What's a newspaper style mannequin head?

oh you're so funny :pac:
Has anyone ever told you that? what am I saying, no one has lol.


But thanks for getting back guys. I was looking at google maps and it might be records and relics shop window but not too sure. Checked their facebook page and nothing.
But to clarify what I mean, was down in Cork 6 months ago and in one of the shop windows (small type shop) there was a mannequins head and old washed out newspaper was glued all over it (you know the way old newspaper goes brown? exactly this) and it had this cool old timey hat and glasses on it.


This thread was long shot. Ah well.

Have you any idea at all where the shop is located? Near any particular pub/cafe? I'll keep an eye out for it anyway.

If you "need" the style of head you saw?

Cheapo polystyrene head, newspaper soaked in cold tea then apply paper to polystyrene head.
Then paint in a mix of diluted PVA.

Dress with hat and sunglasses to your own taste

Sounds like it could be Records and Relics, alright.
That was my first thought but google street view has a van parked in front of it!:rolleyes:

There's a small antique shop (Cashell's or something like that) on Winthrop St. Sounds like something you might see in Mother Jones market, but I don't think they have anything displaying from the outside?
