Cue the soft, creepy sound of children singing carols...

On the advice unheeded warning of apprentice_lurk, I went down to the Grand Arcade to look at the strange Christmas decorations.



I'm not completely sure what they were thinking here. It's like one of those horror movie/game statues where you can see that they started with something nice and shiny and then corrupted it until it's just wrong enough to make you feel faintly uneasy just being in the same room as it.











Besides the freakish angels, the rest of the decorations were reasonably sane and normal--besides this bit. Trees are good, dangly glowing tinsel is good, but when you put them together it just winds up look like some sort of festive jellyfish.





People really need better internal decorators.

Blargh! O_O

Cool photos sis - and while I'd noticed the scary angels, the festive jellyfish are new to me and disturbingly awesome (or do I mean awesomely disturbing?) Either way...

They have holes in their wings! If you're going to put in feathers, put them on all of the wing!

Well, I'm not adverse to seasonal sea animals, it's just an odd place to put them.

I protest the kidnap and electrocution of my fellow waterbeasties! ::shakes fin, falls asleep::

They're just trying to get into the spirit of things!

*raises an eyebrow* Interesting sounds like a good word to use.

Twist up their faces and bloody their clothes and they could have supporting roles in Silent Hill.

Another reason why giftmas is crap.

Nothing with presents and shiny lights is crap.

Unless you'd replace a christmas tree with a big pile of poo.

Actually, I like the festive jellyfish. They'd probably mark a save/restore point, right before you went into the boss fight where you were divebombed by creepy angels.

What, one of those glowing circle things?

I saw those at the weekend, and all I could think of was this:

Same here, actually.

Goodness...

It looks like they raided Victoria's Secret because they ran out of money for their decorations. And I love the festive jellyfish.

Considering the amount of lingerie stores in the place, I wouldn't be surprised.

regarding the angels: awkward! also, reminds me of the max payne movie. (Valkyries...)

... and i lolled at the Yule jelly fish.

thanks for the pics :)

Those really do look like the mannequins they use in Victoria's Secret-- otherwise the legs wouldn't be bent upwards like that.

I'm seeing a neat idea badly executed-- if they'd been willing to spend the money on decent wigs, decent wings, and decent angel costumes... well, they'd've had to have done it before Halloween, so maybe what I'm seeing is poor planning, instead.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

That may have been where they got them from, then. I'm not sure how you'd handle mannequin angels hanging from the ceiling and make them not creepy.

"Crap! Our Christmas decoration budget is short this year!"

"Quick! Steal some of those Mannequins, bed sheets, sparkle paint, and tinsel! I have a plan!"

"What about the tree and lights?"

"You get the tree. I'll worry about the lights. *grabs a jellyfish net and runs to the ocean*"

Lol!
