the power of advertising

[sergebroom]

I wonder what one should think of a beauty salon advertising its recent opening with a giant inflatable Godzilla on its roof.

Tee hee

that is all. I think it is enough.

(though a local beauty parlor on a main drag had a sign out front that said "En Vouge." The sign in the window said "En Vogue." Sign painter was probably really cheap...) It always made me giggle when we passed.

Heh. At least 'vouge' rhymes with 'rouge'. That's a more appropriate association with a beauty salon than a giant reptile with bad breath.

BAHAhahahhhaha! Honestly? I'd probably have to get my hair cut there just because I had giant inflatable Godzilla envy. :D

Me too!

You both are welcome. If I remember correctly, it's called the Galaxy Nail Salon. I never had my nails done so I don't know if such places also take care of one's hair, but having 'galaxy' in its name should be a mark in its favor among lady fans of F/SF.

My feet still hurt from walking all over Montreal. Pedicure time!

I'll make sure to have our guest room ready.

Galaxy Nail Salon? From cosmology to cosmetology there is but a short step.

And going the other way, from the very large to the very small... They may split the atom, but they never split hairs.

They never say dye?

Was it a monster beauty salon?

...run by one Doctor Moreau?

They want you all to stomp by?

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Or they imply that, when you come, you'll be irradiating... er... radiating beauty.

Or that even if your skin is a scaly horror, they can fix you up?

It's in New Mexico, so perhaps they use Oil of Olé.
