Yes, as a 6th grader. My dad worked on the heavy construction surrounding the reconstruction of the park to accomodate the fair. We went a bunch of times, sometimes playing host to relatives who came to New York in part to see the fair. I remember the GM pavilion but not the "Tower of Power". We got to see the Pieta as it was on loan from the Vatican and the other specific pavilions I remember were GE (allegedly a fusion demonstration) and the UN "Small World" featuring the most annoying song ever written, Kodak, and Ford. We were also introduced to "Belgian Waffles".

.........the UN "Small World" featuring the most annoying song ever written........

Not a song per se, but truly unwanted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPuH1yeZ08

Listen at your own peril!

I listened. I think I have heard worse.

Needed some poorly played bagpipes. Hard to make bad music without poorly played bagpipes.

Ru Paul has been advertising a new edition of the Drag Queen show, though not destined for regular TV ; rather , for "streaming."

Several examples of the contestants on the show are shown in the piece.

Whatzit for me involves what these individuals think they are . They appear to display themselves as wonderful , gorgeous females .

What I assert is that each of them seems like a cartoonof a woman; in fact, a cartoon of a cartoon. A nightmare .

For me, they are big (very big ) WTF Whatzits .

What's your viewpoint(s) ?

BTW, I have absolutely no objection to their lifestyles or places they have included themselves among the LGBT, etc. self-realization/experience. What I'm referencing here is what I consider the absurd bad-taste of the cartoons-of-cartoons they are presenting.

Has anybody here ever seen an attractive woman look like any of these creations ?

I think the word you are looking for is caricature.

"a picture, description, or imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect."

An excellent point; however, I think they take themselves very seriously as glamorous, attractive women, not as jokes or humor.

What they think is one thing; what you might think, i.e. "I consider the absurd bad-taste of the cartoons-of-cartoons they are presenting. " is pretty close to the definition of caricature.

What I think falls under deliberately exercised insouciance.

Nose of a baleen whale. Toothed whales only have one blow hole for a nose.

I think baleen whales were designed with two blow holes because of their immense size. As some of the largest creatures on Earth, and ones that spend a significant amount of time underwater, they must be able to efficiently inhale and exhale at the surface before diving. Using two blowholes to breathe in and out allows them to more efficiently access the oxygen they need to support their massive bodies while underwater.

Looks like an early motion picture studio's assembly line for manakins. There are "heads" on the back shelf to the right and the guys on the left appear to be assembling a couple of new "bodies" from a stack of jointed "limbs" on the table to their right.
