Curious Corduroy About Town

Silverman Gallery in the Tendernob

There's a mystery around town in the form of corduroy-wrapped mannequins. My first sighting didn't phase me, but then I spotted another in a different part of town and it seemed a very unlikely coincidence. That's when I decided to make a little project out of it—a photo diary of these strange occurrences. Check out these pictures of the four I've spotted and post a comment if you've seen any others that I've missed. Chances are we might have a prize for anyone who can crack this case.

Now, they even have corduroy-wrapped bikes! http://www.flickr.com/photos/inkvision/4339682233/
I met a guy in Oakland buying up a truckload full of nude mannequins, he said he was using them for his art --- and would display them at MUA until they were used for this...
I heard it's a guerilla marketing campaign for a new fashion collection by Levi's and Opening Ceremony debuting later this month.
