Secrets of the Majestic

"Have you seen the men's toilets at the Majestic?"

Uttered in hushed tones to all first-time attendees of Thought Bubble Festival, these words form part of an initiation - a rite of passage. Truly, the wonders of the toilets are a sight to behold - the checkerboard marble floors! The gilded washbasins! The bench(?!)

But why is this room so unnecessarily opulent and palatial? Why does the women's toilet pale in comparison?

Was it the meeting place of a secretive Masonic lodge? A liminal space marked by past demonic sacrifices? The brainchild of a Victorian architect and his internalised misogyny?

We can only guess at the answer to these questions. Presented here, for your enjoyment, are some theories: some SECRETS OF THE MAJESTIC.
