Marty, your comment on the description reminded me that I stole "festooned" from Frank Zappa, same as I stole "bulbous" from Captain Beefheart; dandy words to be used at every opportunity. Here's Zappa's description of Transylvania Boogie from Chunga's Revenge, beside which my own language pales:

"A gypsy mutant industrial vacuum cleaner dances about a mysterious night time camp fire. Festoons. Dozens of imported castanets, clutched by the horrible suction of its heavy duty hose, waving with marginal erotic abondon in the midnight autumn air."
