Pack up your manikin - Take this Marianna rock and roll show on the road!

Life on the road is just a fact of life for a rockstar.  Your rockstar manikin competition entry needs to hit the road to get to Marianna to be considered for the BIG trip to Las Vegas.

Here are a few tips for packing and shipping your manikin successfully... so it arrives in all (or most) of its rock and roll glory.

Save and use the box your manikin came in.  The manikin head fits in there well and it will protect it.  Pack this box in a slightly bigger box for shipping.  It is better to pack the manikin snugly than to have too much room and have the head rocking and rolling around in a too-big box.

Do not worry about crushing the hairstyle a bit when you pack it up.  It will spring right back to life when we take it out of the box... How do you think Mick Jagger still looks so good after all these years?

Overspray your manikin... see the crush it tip above.  Spray it up good with dry, firm hold hairspray.  Then spray it again.  Then spray it again... can you tell I grew up in the 1980s?... More spray the better... This will insure the style lasts even after your manikin's pack and ship trip.

Put a few photos in the box.  Snap a few pictures of your finished style from a few angles.  Toss them in the box.  Our crew of ready rock and roll roadies will take your manikin out of the box and primp it backstage as needed so it is ready when the lights go down and the spotlights come on.
