Update on Downtown’s Mannequin Man

Yesterday I posted a shot a friend took of a man lugging a mannequin around Downtown. Helpful tippers provided more info, including a video. If this is in fact the same guy, his name is Dauveed and he made it up here from Los Angeles, where he acquired the mannequin from Hollywood sex toy shop Bed Behavior with the help of KROQ 106.7’s Psycho Mike, who I assume is a DJ. A YouTube video from June of this year shows the DJ helping Dauveed acquire the mannequin and then “marrying” them. Her name is apparently “Clara,” and readers say he’s perfectly pleasant to talk to. Can anyone else confirm that this is the same guy? (Thanks to readers Poppl and Madelinear.) UPDATE: I have three people via Facebook who have confirmed that the man in the video is the same guy here in Seattle.

  2. I just saw this guy on the Blueline train on November 30th. He had the mannequin although she had no legs. I was sitting in a seat and she was on his lap with her face looking into his face. He had his arms around her was whispering in her ear and kissed her on the head.
