How to Spot a Mandy: Lawn Decoration and The Spectrum of Mandyness

Mandys like lawns because they are essentially shelves for the outdoors. Lawns are also a good way to learn whether a Mandy leans more towards a Courtney personality, a Misty personality, or is directly in the middle of the broader spectrum of Mandyness.


The Comic/Bold Lawn is the lawn with Courtney tendencies. Self-aware Mandys tend to choose such amusing treats as the lady bending over, huge blow-up holiday decorations, traditional garden gnomes, large lawn globes, and pink flamingos.

The Delicate Fantasy Lawn is the lawn with Misty tendencies. Mandy takes these decorations pretty seriously and they tend to involve fairies, modest lawn globes, cherubs, gargoles, white christmas light things, any unpainted alabastrite figures, and fountains.









The Rural Lawn is the lawn with traditional Mandy tendencies. It can be whimsical but sincere and includes things such as gentle American flags, bird houses, seasonal gourdes, animal figures, sleds, wagons, colored Christmas tree lights, wreaths, and fences.
