There's a shop on Calle Castelló nº14 that I really like because the clothes selection is very good, Carmen the owner is lovely and she has a rather special mannequin in the display window.

There's a shop on Calle Castelló nº14 that I really like because the clothes selection is very good, Carmen the owner is lovely and she has a rather special mannequin in the display window.
It turns out that the mannequin in question behaves during the day as a good mannequin should, that is, she stands still and looks very pretty at the foot of the display window to show off the dresses to passersby.
Manoush dress
But at night, when the shop closes... THE MANNEQUIN COMES TO LIFE!
She removes her makeup, gets comfortable, and tries on everything in the store.
Manoush dress, Twenty8Twelve jacket
Mónica Cordera dress, Manoush coat
She also spends hours on the phone talking to her mannequin friends from other stores; that's how Carmen began to suspect that someone was living in the store, because the phone bill started to be astronomical shortly after she acquired the mannequin.
Luckily, she loves the store and has no intention of leaving; she's scared of the outside world, and every day, before Carmen opens the store, she returns to her position like a normal mannequin.
