FERNDALE, Mich. (AP) - A Detroit man with a history of smashing store windows to grab female mannequins has been accused of indulging his fetish again. Ronald A. Dotson, 39, was arrested and jailed Oct. 9 after breaking a window at a cleaning-supply company to get at a mannequin in a black and white French maid's uniform, police said.
Dotson had been out of prison for less than a week when he was caught. His erotic pursuit of mannequins over the past 13 years has led to at least six convictions for breaking and entering and a stint in prison, police said.
"He told his parole officer he was going to buy a mannequin so he didn't have to do these break-ins anymore," said Detective Brendan Moore said. "Apparently that didn't work out."

Whatever floats your boat....At least he's not out raping our kids instead.

He just saw it in the window and couldn't resist.

With or without nipples?
Because some of them don't have nipples.
Stop looking at me like that.

That is a sexy outfit!!!

People are just getting stranger and stranger! He could have at least ordered one of those "real girl dolls" that I seen on that HBO show Real Sex. At least they are more "life-like" than a mannequin, holes & all!

Maybe she'll lie still and never nag, but she won't cook you breakfast in the morning, guys. And a good scrambled egg is hard to find. :D

I first posted this on Aug. 22nd:
One day my friend Rhonda called me and said, "John, I want you to meet someone." "OK, let me talk to her." "Her name is Maybelline. She is shy, but come over to meet her." "OK". I got there, and she and my illegitmate father Ted were drinkin beer. I said, "Where is Maybelline?" "Inside." I went inside and only saw a mannequin, Maybelline. I got mad and left.
You think I would learn.
Rhonda moved to Peculiar and got more mannequins. Then Ted and I moved in. She called one day and said, "We will be in the Star." "Why?" "They want find out what is Peculiar in Peculiar, saw Foxy Roxy (another mannequin wearing a thong) on the porch swing, and stayed for an hour." I got a picture of me kissing Maybelline, but it is blurry, because Rhonda was weaving on Vodka when she took the picture. I have seen cops drive around the block to look at Foxy Roxy.
Come on down to 385 E. North St., bring some beer for Ted, I'll take your picture with Foxy Roxy.

He's seen that Mannequin movie one too many times.

just hope he hasn't seen "Splash" too.

blondie: I just happended to catch the show about them and it was very interesting.
FYI, They aren't blow up. They are made out of a cilicone & supposedly they feel like real people. They have hair, make up and outfits that you can change. I think it said they cost like $3,000 or so!
Posted by: LA | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 12:58 PM
Maybe it was because he wouldn't have to buy her dinner and drinks first....lol.
You obviously look a little too closely, Nate....and don't respond that you're checking the fabric....lol.

Of give them both a break. They have something in common; They're both stiff.

All men are pigs! There is no limit to their depraved behavior! How long will women exist under their oppression?

Broma you do remember the story of Adam & Eve.
Posted by: Biggin | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 02:03 PM
Broma, how has this oppressed you??? I dont think your a mannequin....and your not required to read these comments. Maybe you are oppressing yourself with your own delusions.

of course, he was probably being sarcastic...

Why aren't female mannequines called womannequines? At least it wasn't the kid mannequin. They grow out of their clothes way too fast.

LA: I think if a guy didn't mind not getting a home cooked meal once in awhile, he could definitley save tons of money making a one time $3000.oo investment.. This story is just too much to grasp!
Posted by: blondie2hot7 | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 02:29 PM
mm22: I never thought about the mannequin name. It should be ladykins, or womakins..lol
Posted by: blondie2hot7 | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 02:32 PM
I just don't see what the big deal is with all of this....
Posted by: Pinnochio | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 02:47 PM
I join with the inflatable doll aficionados. The dolls are inexpensive to maintain; don't bug you when you're late getting home; don't ask for money all the time; don't invite their mother to spend months with you, stuff like that. They also don't go into shutdown mode every 30 days. The only problem I have is finding a black one to replace my white ho, who's showing some wear. So far I've been unsuccessful, which is yet another glaring example of the rampant racial discrimination in this country.

Wow, that is a good looking mannequin! What have I been missing all this time!?

Talk about a hard-on...was it plastic or fiberglass?
Posted by: KC girl | Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 04:58 PM
this is fantastic. a couple of weeks ago i saw one of the creepiest shows about men who have "relationships" (and they were relationships as those guys had invested a hell of a lot of demented emotional attachment) with life sized dolls. it was car crash tv, i could not help but watch it. for those that have not seen the show check out the site: http://www.realdoll.com/
and a p.s. there is no way on god's green earth that that guy was practising until he found a "real" woman, those men never find "real" women. makes you wonder why though LMAO!

I just don't get how he does it. Does he take off one of her arms or legs?
I know one thing for sure, I am never going to ask for a piece of clothing off a mannequin again.
Posted by: B | Wednesday, October 25, 2006 at 08:09 AM
I always love to have sexual relationships with mannequins, they are so firm and hard to resist. you know how it is, once your alone with them you dim the lights and she's all yours, oh doesn't it feel great to please a mannequin.
Posted by: Stankman | Friday, October 27, 2006 at 05:09 PM
I work for www.lvmannequins.com and I guess this guy didnt know you can buy a mannequin for about 100 to 300 dollars. I would rather spend 100 then go to jail.
