Boat Lady. The Boat Lady

In the town of Matanzas Beach there is a genuine boat on a stick. What made this more interesting was the lady waving from the boat (a mannequin, really). What I found interesting is this mannequin appeared to be modeled after a Uniroyal Gal. Arm waving, same hair style, bikini clad.
