November 28, 2010. Barbizon, in concert with Red Bank merchants, placed very attractive models in store front windows. It was a great idea and everyone strolling the streets of Red Bank stopped to enjoy the interesting view. The common thought was: "is that a real person".
After parking I came across the first Barbizon model at the Duxiana store on Broad Street. I had a short chat with the Duxiana owner and then strolled south on Broad Street.
Bella Mystique also hosted a Barbizon model.
I found out that at some stores, the models took turns, so I photographed the "standby" model then I had a short chat with the Bella Mystique owner.

Funk & Standard.
When the models took their break, I took a couple of photos.
While taking photos at Primas Home, two young girls were standing by the window debating whether the mannequin was real or not. Their mom came by shortly and said: "I think it's a model".

Turning off Broad Street onto Monmouth Street I arrived at Barbizon headquarters.

Also in standby, was this mom waiting for her daughter who is modeling today.
On Broad Street I was surprised to hear a steam whistle blow and when I turned around it was steam driven auto called the "Locomobile". Awesome.
