Craftster user gorgaus, as an art installation, put on a fashion show in which the women participating wore enormous plastic sleepy-eye doll heads.
They are made from fibreglass. They are quite light, they have a stem at the back of the neck that leads down to the waist where there is a back brace so all the weight is on their hips. The wigs are heavier than the heads, especially the geisha style one. They used dancers instead of models cause they thought they might have more strength and balance.

If you’ve ever thought that New York’s Fashion Week is taken way too seriously, then you might be like the Snuggie marketing team. Yes, they actually introduced new fabrics and colors, but the reasons behind the show has a lot more to do with silliness than displaying the new products. The host of the show was Ross The Intern from The Jay Leno Show.
There was only a dozen or so attendees at the event, but the tongue-in-cheek message will outlast a lot of the here today, gone tomorrow couture fashions on display elsewhere in the city.
