Special to El Rrun-Rrun
(Ed,'s Note: We have never been particularly crazy about celebrating Halloween in September, but the photos of the window display at an antique store in downtown Brownsville caught our eye.The antique shop - because we could detect no name on the building closer than 1020 E. Washington Street - has an elaborate window display with a trio of ghouls at a marriage feast enjoying their Halloween meal complete with a wedding cake and candles.
They have a companion at the rear who is equally decked out in her Halloween finery looking at one of those photos that turn into skeletons depending on the angle you see it from. It's, as we said, quite an elaborate set up.
We have taken the liberty of taking these photos and posting them here. So as a quid pro quo, we will also run a sample of their display of antique clothing below.
The sign on the bottom refers to something called a VSCO girl, which is described on Internet sites as being "basic" and knowing it. At their core, they're self-aware, socially-conscious, eco-friendly, and masters at visually pleasing online aesthetics. Check them out.)
