We have done the shop window tonight - following the Samhain window, I have done one that relates to the forthcoming Witches' Ball, which we are sponsoring next week. It features a model in a ball gown and the dummy known to us as Antlered Man, and to the staff as Becks, due to his resemblance to a certain football personality. AM has, duh, antlers, which had to be sawed down so that he could fit in the window, and he only just does. T was therefore to be seen cursing heavily and apparently embracing a half naked mulleted bloke with deer's horns in the shop window at 7 pm this evening. (A woman had previously seen me carrying AM's torso up the High St: 'Only in Glastonbury,' she said. See below). Our efforts, however, pale into comparison with those of my predecessor, M, who tried to put a pair of antlers, complete with skull, in the window display. They fell off, knocking her out, and she apparently lay unconscious in the window for half an hour before a passer-by noticed and carted her off to A&E. I sometimes think that I am a little chaotic and this kind of anecdote is obscurely comforting. The window also occasionally featured a large plaster unicorn, which when delivered, succeeded in blocking the pavement and led to a heated phone call between M and a neighbouring business ('Your unicorn's blocking the pavement!' 'I can't help that! It won't go through the door!'). M took this call in the vet's, and when her turn finally came, the vet apparently looked at her and said, dead pan, 'You're from Glastonbury, aren't you?' Quite. |

On November 6th, 2007 12:05 am (UTC), an anonymous reader commented: I do find myself rather fascinated with the idea of seeing what this shop actually *looks* like. At the very least, I think the world deserves to see Antlered Man on the web. , At the very least, I think the world deserves to see Antlered Man on the web. And, a unicorn. Mustn't forget the unicorn! (I regrets that friend on mine didn't find a house on Einhorn Street, rather where they did find a suitable house....) If you ever to be in Massachusetts in the USA, don't bother trying to go looking for Unicorn Park that once apparently sprawled between Woburn and Stoneham, just east of I-93. I spent hours hour or more months ago, trying to see if there were anything left of "Unicorn Park." What are there, are Unicorn Park Drive with an office park and a business suite hotel with a dead end into parking lot and rock walls, to the east side of I-93 (about ten miles north of Boston--from the hotel Boskone is going to be at for the second year in a row, take the unscenic underground route to I-93 in Boston and head north, come upon out of the Big Dig onto the Leonard P. Zakim Memorial Bunker Hill Bridge (the Bunker Hill Monument is clearly visible from the bridge, no thanks to slimy Clear Channel and its giant billboards blocking views of anything but Clear Channel billboards... the architect of the bridge saw the monument, and decided to erect miniatures of it ontop of the bridge at the apexes of the suspension towers) and continue north to until the Jell-0 factory (which one can barely smell any odors from anymore and then take the exit); a golf course (private) on the north side, and driving around to the eastern side, a cemetery. There's no sign residual whatsoever of an actual public park, which apparently it was once upon a time. As soon as the localities of Woburn and Stoneham got full control to do as they wanted, they sold the land off for development. ....I supposed it's much the same going looking for Nottingham Forest. |
