The horse, the man, and his son?
One of the cool things about the shops in Newtown is that as a general rule, they make a bit more of an effort with the ethnic diversity of their showroom dummies. I particularly enjoyed this little hybrid/multi-cultural family in a Riddiford St window:
Especially the accidental pseudo-religious effect produced by my phone camera when trying to deal with the blow-out from the from-above lighting. Sorry about the crappy photos.

The manchild boygod: he is ready to hit the town in the early 1960s, hanging out at a milk bar, looking at the hep chicks, loitering outside the local picture theatre, and making the crippled mans walk again.
One of the most interesting scenes I have witnessed in recent times was at that shop.

Bless him. It was really quite sweet (albeit slightly disturbing).
