Erik,

This shot is reminiscent of Dali's surrealism. I assume it is undiluted by 
digital manipulation, so it literally does stand on its own head. It bespeaks a 
certain sadism or sexual exhibitionism to entertain the customers. The theme 
is hair that makes a difference. The juxtaposition of the posters' repetition 
and the lateral slats trisect and unify the elements. The winding vine that 
serves up and conceals  the nude to make her even more desirable as a dish adds 
to the fantasy. It's a memorable experience in chiaroscuro.

Never know what you'll run into with a Leica and fast lens handy.
