 A pretty simple palindrome which might hurt my score. I hate to add (Eve White) to the title but figure it might help explain the image. I don't want people thinking it's an evening shot or Eve is just an arbitrary name.

"The Three Faces of Eve" a 1957 film adaption of a case study by Thigpen and Cleckley. It's based on the true story of Chris Sizemore, also known as Eve White, who suffered DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) or multiple personality disorder. It's interesting that DID is also a palindrome.

These manikins are from a collection of 30 or more that are setup everyday for an open store front. So they are in different positions with different clothes everyday. You can see the wear and tear on the manikins faces. Probably more information than you care to hear. They seem to work perfect for the Palindromes challenge. One has stylish hair, painted on glitter eye shadow, and even eye lashes. The other looks more plain or reserved which fits the story I'm trying to tell.

Interesting mannequins, I like that their 'make-up' is nice but they're still battered and chipped in contrast. I like the composition. Not sure why the added title in brackets was needed though?

I'm thinking two out of "Three Faces of Eve" - Eve White and Black; so I don't get the title. But a strong image. 7
