Theresa got out of her BMW and looked around at the farm she had just
  arrived at.  She had been contracted to pose for a series of
  pictures that were to be appear in a car magazine called Classic Cars
& Cuties.  The location for the pictures had varied from a
  rural racing track to the road where many illegal drag races between
  souped up sports cars took place.  For today's shot, she was told
  that they would be shooting at the farm with a classic pink Thunderbird
  car in the background . 
  
                     
  She had just started to wander over to the nearby paddock to see some
  horses trotting around when she heard the roar of an approaching
  vehicle.  It pulled up just next to her and out jumped a man in
  his early 20's with thick black hair glistening with hair gel.  He
  walked over to her toting several bags of what appeared to be camera
  equipment on his shoulder. 
  
                     
"Theresa, is it?  I'm Gerry, the photographer for the shoot
  today.  The weather looks absolute ideal today so I imagine we can
  finish all the pictures we need with just a couple of film rolls. 
  I had an assistant swing by earlier to set up the convertible so let's
  take a walk over to where it's parked,"  Gerry said pleasantly
  while wiping the sweat of his forehead that was building up under the
  summer heat. 
  
                     
  The two walked a short distance to the left of where they were parked
  until they came across the pink car in question.  It was in
  immaculate condition with no sign of rust or wear visible anywhere on
  the vehicle.  The chrome bumpers still shined as if the car had
  been never been owned before. 
  
                     
  Gerry told Theresa that the car used to be owned by the president of a
  major chemical production factory in Louisiana.  It was rumored
  that the factory did large amounts of secret military research for the
  government in the late 50's which went on for some time.  One day,
  the president mysteriously vanished amid allegations of fraud and
  misappropriation and was never seen again.  His assets were sold
  off to pay back taxes which included the car in question. 
  
                     
  Theresa nodded as she looked over the car. "Cool car!  Maybe
  the company will throw it in as a bonus for me after the shoot," she
  said wistfully as she ran her hands over the leather seats.
  
                     
  Gerry grinned broadly while simultaneously shaking his head.  "I
  don' t think so, Theresa, though you can always ask afterwards. 
  In the meantime, shall we get started?" he said while handing her
  several garment bags.
 
                     
  A few minutes later, Theresa emerged from a nearby shed wearing a
  striking pink bikini trimmed in a light blue and walked over to the car
  where she took up her first position for the shoot.  Nodding
  approvingly, Gerry started to click off several shots as Theresa
  assumed different poses when he asked. 
  
                    
  Once Gerry had shot three or four rolls of film and changed cameras
  twice, he handed Theresa a garment bag for the next portion of the
  shoot.  She was about halfway across the yard when she heard
  Gerry's cell phone ringing loudly from where he was standing. She stood
  and waited as Gerry engaged in a spirited conversation with the person
  on the other end before he put it to one side and looked over at the
  model. 
  
                     
"Theresa, I've got to go up to the farm house here for a
  second.  It seems the owner wants to take some of his cattle to
  market today by the road we're filming in and wants to us to move the
  shoot to another part of the property.  Take it easy and wait here
  for now. I shouldn't be long...." Gerry yelled out at the model as he
  hurried off on foot towards the home at the far end of the property. 
  
                   
  "Hmmm... well, this is great.  What do I  do in the
  meantime?" the model wondered out loud as she saw the photographer
  quickly disappear out of sight.  She looked over at the pink car
  and decided to check out the interior a bit more closely while she
  waited.
  
                   
   Theresa opened the door on the driver's side and sat down
 behind the white steering wheel.  Looking at the odometer,
  she saw there was less than 5,000 miles showing on the odometer.
 Obviously, the previous owners had kept the vehicle in the garage
  for the majority of its' ownership. Theresa ran her hands over the
  sandalwood dashboard ( something put in by the previous owners)
 and found not a trace of dirt or stains anywhere.
  
                   
    When she opened the glove compartment, she found inside
  the usual array of road maps and vehicle registration. She also found a
  small tube with the words SUNTAN LOT  barely visible on the side
  as time and heat had worn away most of the writing.  Popping open
  the top, Theresa sniffed the contents and found it smelled like any
  suntan lotion available on the market.  She rubbed a little into
  the palm of her right hand and saw it had the luster and look of any
  other lotions of similar ilk.  Theresa even felt her hand tingling
  a little bit as the warm rays of the sun mixed with the liquid in her
  hand.
  
                   
      Opening the car door again, the black haired model
  stepped out onto the dirt road and walked around to the front of the
  vehicle .  Peeking around quickly to see if there was anyone
  within eyesight, Theresa slipped off  her top and  liberally
  rubbed the lotion over her chest, torso, arms and legs.  She then
  closed up the tube and tossed it in her nearby handbag before leaning
  back against the car hood  and letting the sun beat down on her
  body.
  
   
 
   After a minute or two, the tingling
  sensation that she had felt before in her hand  was now all over
  her body.  Her skin was tingling as if every inch of it was being
  stimulated by unseen forces.  If she didn't know better, she would
  swear that she was being caressed by her boyfriend Antonio in one of
their frenzied lovemaking sessions.
  
 Theresa slowly reached up to pull off the
  hat she was wearing when her situation took a horrific turn for the
  worst.  Her arm seemed to be frozen grasping onto her hat and
  unresponsive to her thoughts no matter how hard she tried.  The
  rest of her body was similarly locked in place including her eyes and
  mouth.  She was unable to scream for help or look around for
  anyone who can assist her.  Out of the corner of her right eye
  Theresa could see her skin rapidly changing into  smooth glossy
  plastic with no sign of humanity visible anywhere.  Her breathing
  had ceased altogether as her chest became twin globes of molded plastic
  capped by bright red areolas.  The transformation of her breasts
  as well as her other private areas proved to quite stimulating for
  Theresa  and feelings of erotic pleasure mingled with her feelings
of horror.
  
    "A MANNEQUIN... I'M
  BECOMING A MANNEQUIN...WHY?...WHO?...PLEASE...HELP ME...HELP!!!!...."  
Theresa screamed mentally as the process finished its work leaving an inanimate plastic display figure where a vibrant woman once was. There was nothing but silence now save for the distant mooing of cows and screeching of crows as they passed over a very bizarre tableau...
  
  
  Next Day..........
  
  
  Albuquerque
      (AP) -  The local police were baffled yesterday by the mysterious
      disappearance  of Theresa Russell, a local model who was on a
      nearby farm for a photo shoot.  According to sources, the
      photographer had left her alone for a few minutes and when he returned
      , he found no sign of her save for store mannequin dressed in her
      clothes standing next to her handbag. Police are currently interviewing
      the photographer as well people who live in the area but so far have no
      leads in the woman's disappearance.
  
            In the local police station,
      there was a new item placed into the evidence storage room.  An
      officer placed a drop cloth over the mannequin and tagged it
      corresponding to the case in question.  It still sits there as the
  police try and locate the missing woman.. 
  
  They just don't know where to look.....
