Some pals and I once made chip and salsa bowls for a large party out of cheap maniquins we had found...just big holes cut in the torsos. We silcon'd caulked in plastic bowls and painted the caulking to look like drippy body parts.

Getting past the whole drink garnish thing here, but that reminds me of a party I helped organize in college. Took fairly large baby dolls and cut open their bellies to make chip and dip bowls. We had probably 6 or 7 of these big naked dolls laying on the table, arms and legs akimbo (love that word), some with eyes open, some blissfully asleep. The parts we cut off made good lids, with sometimes just a spoon sticking out.
I always thought these would be good party plates for a Halloween gathering. You know, everyone walking around cradling a doll, legs dangling, belly open, stuffed with meatballs or bean dip (maybe baby-back ribs would be better), with a fork sticking out. Man, thats a visual. Would probably show up on your permanent record, too...
