Once again, you've brought a smile. And I'll have to send you the picture I made (well, okay, ChatGPT made) from what "animal figures with fake bull horns" made me think of.

The shift from mocking the bedazzled excess to recognizing it as defiance against Communist oppression is actually perfect. El Dorado being "the most Miami thing that Miami has ever Miami'ed" captures howimmigrant entrepreneurship and maximalism are two sides of the same coin. The Don Quixote/impossible dream framing throughout makes the whole thing work better than it should, considering you went in just looking for a bed frame.
