 Not what you think.
It's my wife's female mannequin hangar for displaying clothes.

Put it on the deck railing and taped chess king to the left boob.

My guess is it'll bomb, but I couldn't resist.

POST CHALLENGE:
Wow, not as many 1's as I thought it would get. It's really a yellowish chess piece and a white mannequin. Shot this with editing in mind. I wanted the mannequin to look real. I originally titled it just King of the Hill, but chickened out and added the (mannequin \ chess piece) tag. I though I'd get too many 1's for displaying gratuitous nudity in the challenge.

Here's the original.


and here's the mannequin.
