It didn’t bother you to watch the calliope spin as hideous circus music played and bizarre totem animal fetish animals spun around on the carousel as you noted more conventional horses nailed to the walls all around you and as you turned your eyes to the ceiling to escape the flashing lights you beheld numberless female mannequins wearing old prom and bridesmaids dresses and sporting styrofoam “angel wings” hanging from the ceiling, as shown in this photo:
