This is my series devoted to the real life models who became Rootstein mannequins. The mannequins are also dressed in attire that provides a little bit of fashion history.
This is Cathie Shirriff from Superstar Series, pose code B1. Cathie Shirriff is a model, actress, notable appearances, film “All that Jazz” and television show “Ripley’s believe it or not”. A side note, 2 or 2 1/2 inch heels work well on this pose, anything higher and she lists to one side. The wig is vintage Susanne Victor.
