Shopping Mall Polytheism

[shakahislop]

its weird in america they put girls tits and arses up for show but it's not seen as perverted or seedy they just do it, and there's families eating around these girls with their bums out

it's a family resturaunt? thats obscene.

Good thread, this.

@sus, does it have a makeup shop - sorry, 'store' - called Urban Decay? I think that's a great name. Really leaning into the general 'everything's fucked' ethos.

i went to sephora in dubai to buy urban decay for a friend it was the stupidest name i've ever heard for makeup, urban decay, industrial run-off

We have decided to visit the Rainbow Cafe for lunch. As it is @sufi's favorite restaurant and also to continue our research begun at Three Dots and a Dash Tiki Bar in September.

you should sit in shopping carts and get people to push you at one another at high speed

you should set them on fire and do it jousting with hockey sticks

toast sandwiches are like brutalist architecture meets carcinogens

There's clearly a continuity between the tiki bar and the Rainforest Cafe. The idea of restaurant as exotic destination. Immersive environment.

There are giant animatronic gorillas grunting. And big simulated thunderstorms with lightning.

Exactly, that's what's great about it.

Like Musk's attempt at a lightbulb "joke."

Apparently this is the original Rainforest Cafe from thirty years ago

They still serve Mai Thais too which is a tiki invention. Trader Vics, 1940.

The tunnel to the restroom is like an Egyptian temple. Gleaming stone.

Next week Tea & Biscuits are going to Westfield Stratford together and they're going to take pictures of the Gravity Max. This is the Squid Game immersive game box, they'll say, Biscuits bought me a keyring in the Miniso; we're going to Nandos next
