Somebody's Idea of Heaven

"She stopped to regard the window display at The Bon. They featured mannequin families, artfully arranged on AstroTurf landscapes and engaged in various springtime activities: Easter egg hunts, gardening, tea parties. Chalky-skinned mothers and fathers lounged near picnic baskets stuffed with petrified baguettes and croissants, wedges of Brie, purple grapes and gourmet sandwiches. Their well-mannered, pale, cherubic-faced mannequin children wore unscuffed shoes and carried baskets laden with designer eggs, Godiva chocolates, and complacent fake bunnies. I guess that's somebody's idea of Heaven, she thought." Stephanie Kallos, Broken for You, p. 97
