The uniform puzzles me, since they previously had sought to at least feel like they were from the 1910's or thereabouts.<br /><br />Pegleg Pete, you ain't kidding! :-(<br /><br />Melissa, you are poised for a serious career as an art reviewer! Nice use of the word "raiment", very biblical.<br /><br />JG, yes, that guy's gray noggin is in the way. Luckily I have at least one much better view of the Cancan girls coming up!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-82454909599682981092013-07-25T10:33:14.595-07:002013-07-25T10:33:14.595-07:00Unfortunately, that's a better picture of the ...Unfortunately, that's a better picture of the back of that guys head than of the chorus girls.

The stacks and pillars of the Mark Twain are endlessly reflected into the Davy Jones's Graybar Hotel of the Rivers of America, held back by wrought iron bars, cast iron poles, and an escapee from the toughest clown penitentiary this side of the river Styx. His raiments of blood-red and fever-yellow do little to comfort the damned freedom-seekers for the prairie.<br /><br />We think to divert ourselves with a song and dance, but the balustrade rails, proscenium columns, and stiff, vertical folds of the curtains - yes, indeedy, even the parallel gams of the dancin' gals - remind us that this is nothing but a Hoosegow Hoedown designed to turn us all into lily-livered city slickers.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61546214857883002712013-07-25T05:53:33.537-07:002013-07-25T05:53:33.537-07:00You think the frontier looks citified in 1972?

The upper decks of the Mark Twain look deserted. <br /><br />Maybe the loudness of the vendors uniform is keeping the guests at a safe distance.
