Mannequin head injured woman's foot ruining sex life

A Queens woman is suing a wig store claiming a hair-raising accident left her unable to curl her toes - or her husband's. Germaine Bowman McDonald, 40, was trying on a Diana Ross-style hairpiece at the Hollis store Baobob when a plastic mannequin head fell and hit her left foot.

Despite months of physical therapy, the city teacher has serious nerve damage, according to the suit filed in Queens Supreme Court. "It just doesn't seem to be healing," said her lawyer, Kenneth Wilhelm.



"At this point she can't make a fist with her toes. I've been doing this for 40 years and I don't recall anything like this." Bowman McDonald's husband, Dean McDonald, made a separate claim - saying his sex life suffered because of his wife's injury.

The suit accuses Baobob of negligence for failing to keep their premises "free of dangerous, hazardous, unsafe, traplike and defective conditions."
