Frog Girl. The Long-knecked Woman. Chupa Cabra. Witch Doctor. Devil Woman. Two-headed baby.
Bull!
I checked out the "Human Oddity" show at the Fair today (so you don't have to!), after bribing 10-year-old Jack from Raleigh to go in with me. The running commentary from Jack went pretty much as follows: "That looks kinda fake ... That just looks like a manta ray ... These look like babydolls ... That's just a baby deer."
He was so right. Almost the entire collection looked like various baby dolls with old hair glued to them, or paper mache creatures decorated (not even very well) with moss or mud. The sign out front says, "The Real. The Unreal." Emphasis on "unreal" is theirs. That should have been a clue.
"You can see the stuffing coming out of that two-headed lamb," Jack noted of the cotton batting hanging from the belly of the tiny lamb.
Was there anything in there worth $2? (It's only $1 for kids).
"It's pretty much a ripoff," Jack says.
I agree.
