Woman blasts watch retailer Breitling for displaying 'vile' mannequin at Bluewater shopping centre

A woman has blasted a watch retailer for displaying a “vile” mannequin in their shop window at Bluewater.

Kirsty Russell, 42, from Fawkham, was at the Greenhithe shopping complex when she saw the display in the Breitling store.

The blonde female mannequin is perched on top of a fake missile with her underwear on show – something Ms Russell believes has nothing to do with selling watches.

She claims the woman could be mistaken for an inflatable sex doll and that the display is offensive.

The controversial mannequin in the Breitling store at Bluewater

Ms Russell told News Shopper: “Breitling must have lost confidence in the quality of their watches to sell themselves and have stooped to this.

“Their shop display has a woman sitting on either side of a missile with exaggerated breasts, nipples highlighted by a spotlight and her gusset on show.

“I’m offended and I don’t think a shop window display like this should be at a family shopping centre such as Bluewater – it’s vile.

“The shop window display is needlessly sexist and inappropriate - would Breitling or Bluewater allow this advertising model to be in a shop window if it represented a man? Absolutely not.

“They would not spotlight a man’s enlarged erect penis for us all to see with our children.”

Ms Russell has contacted Bluewater customer services and staff at Breitling but says her complaints have been rebuffed.

Following her alleged rejection, she has started an online petition in an attempt to have the display removed.

The Fawkham parish councillor claims some customers plan to boycott Bluewater for Mother’s Day this weekend.

What happened here
Does the mannequin need a new home
How many signatures did her petition get
I bet if the store put in a male mannequin with a massive penis she would be at the store every day wishing her and her girlfriends dildos were as big
