Mannequin.

Katie is obsessed with mannequins.  As in she immediately seeks out the mannequins in any given store.  And really what's not to love?  They have the perfect figure.  They usually are elevated on a platform, dressed impeccably, and accessorized to the "nines" 

 Upon locating the mannequin she hops up on the platform and begins to pose with the mannequin.  Of course singing is usually involved too.  Its the ultimate in DIVA behavior, and lets face it, a DIVA she is.

 This time she got Lauren and Mark in on the act.

Oh yeah, hugging the mannequin.



I can't believe I talked Mark into a mannequin pose. 

Can you separate the children from the mannequins?

Oh a pretty dress.

We like casual too.

Swim wear, a must.

Finally a mannequin shorter than Katie.



She really wanted me to talk the Old Navy people out of their dog mannequin.

So anyone looking for a birthday gift for Katie, think mannequin, or better yet, just take her to the mall and let her engage in the DIVA behavior of posing with all the mannequins, while you photograph her.  Its cheap entertainment.
