This window display pays homage to the classic comedy tradition where grown women pretend to be little girls who pretend to be grown women.Think Gilda Radnerʼs bored sniffling Brownie, “Judy Miller”, or Lily Tomlinʼs gratingly precocious “Edith Ann.” Here we find a bedroom hilariously transformed into a ridiculous play ground for making believe. Many careful preparations have been tended to in this room, a glittering turkey baster impales a hobby horse between the eyes and is mounted on a vintage bicycle. What appears to be a crack pot, unridable heap of junk is to our subject, the most glorious unicorn ever imagined that delivered her to the stage in the nick of time to face the mic and sing her opening number in front of trillions of adoring fans.Golden stars proclaiming all of the people, music, and objects of her affection hang from her ceiling, while remnants of real life litter the floor, half-eaten pizza, Carebear, beer. . .etc. We are peering into this persons private playtime, and yes, you are supposed to laugh your ass off at her.
