Who is Downtown's Mannequin Man?

A friend threw this shot up on Facebook this morning of a guy wandering downtown with a mannequin strapped to a piece of luggage. Odd in and of itself, but pretty par for the course for downtown Seattle.

However, at least two other people commented on her post that they'd seen this guy over the weekend as well. What's the deal? Who is the mysterious mannequin man? Some traveling businessman? A new addition to the (politely put) colorful cast of characters that keep things interesting in the urban core?

Delightful character
I saw him with his mannequin (a.k.a. his "beautiful wife") last month waiting for a bus on Third Avenue near the courthouse. He kindly allowed me to take his picture. If you see this wonderful gentleman, talk to him. He's sweet and funny, and it will make your day. Here's my pic: http://twitpic.com/jqauz
