The inappropriate juxtaposition

[elfs]

At the Bellevue Square mall, there are two "kid pits," big wooden statues of tugboats, padded in all the right places, surrounded by cushy couches and with only two easy egresses, into which parents may shove bored youngsters for a breather of time in the hopes that the kids will burn off energy. Wisely, neither of these pits is anywhere within sight of a cafe'. If they were, the parents might well be tempted to leave the kids there while going to fetch a drink.

However, one of them is dead center in front of Victoria's Secret, which dominates the entire western wall of the mall along that concourse. It's positively surreal to watch these tired parents watching their hyperactive toddlers play under the watchful eyes of leopard-lithe photoshopped-to-gloss nearly naked supermodels.

Hmmm... If you waited there long enough for the right arrangement of kids to present itself, that would make an interestingly surreal photograph.
