In 1937, the mysterious 'Cynthia' shook up New York's social scene: Her expressionless face remained completely blank. Everywhere she went, Cynthia tantalized the paparazzi and her adoring public - always seen on the arm of the fashionable Lester Gaba, wearing the runway's latest styles and enjoying New York nightlife to the fullest - but still her gaze revealed nothing.
Of course, that's because Cynthia was a mannequin, crafted by Gaba to promote his retail display business. Cynthia was merely the descendant of a long line of mannequins, whose idealized bodies gave shape to our materialist fantasies at least since the time of the Egyptians.
