This Woman Lives 14 Years with her Mannequin Family

Suzanne is an art director at Starz Entertainment Group in Englewood, Colorado. Every day for the past 14 years, she has been coming home from work to her unique family – her synthetic husband Chauncey and never-growing adolescent daughter Mary Margaret.

Over the years, she has traveled 16,000 kilometers across America and all over the world, taking happy portraits with her plastic loved ones as a part of an art project called ‘Life Once Removed’.

If you’re wondering about Suzanne’s real love-life, well, it’s pretty normal. “I’ve had boyfriends my whole life,” she said. She just never felt that marriage was the way to go with any of them, not even her live-in boyfriend of the past seven years.

Nonetheless, she’s planning to renew her vows with Chauncey in June. She is currently working with wedding planners to have a grand event with all the works – an officiated ceremony, live band, food and guests. Half the guest list is filled with mannequins of course, from the groom’s side of the family!
