Does anyone remember this exhibit from the 90s at SFO?

Local Politics

I've have a bit of an oddball question. I haven't lived in CA since 1998 so bear with me.

As a kid, when we'd go pickup family at SFO, on the way to the gate would be a mannequin of a showgirl wearing an enormous headpiece that quite literally filled the floor.

If I recall correctly, the headpiece had a scale model of the San Francisco skyline in the center of it. I seem to recall the headpiece being held up with suspension wire from the ceiling - it was quite literally that large.

I remember it being there for quite a long time too and was not some temporary exhibit at the time.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd love to find a photo of it if anyone remembers.

Thank you!
