I love the LEG on the Bendel's girl- getting out of the taxi....and imagine my surprise to see the very inspiration for that leg in your last photo...of the girl walking home because she has no money left for a taxi. Imagine my DOUBLE surprise to find that photo doesn't show up in your blog...only in my emailed version. I'm putting Detecive Oswald on the case immediatement!!! Toute a suite!
Now I want one of those long, white, feathery skirts to wear when I play the harp! I wonder how it would hold up with three cats helping me get dressed???
After this post on White Swans... Are you going to do one post on The Black Swan Movie? How's the weather in NY? I am freezing here in OH!!! No good snow though, just flurries! Stay warm Carol!
The second shot must have more sugar in it than anything I've seen lately! We don't have store windows decorated like NYC here in Podunk, so it's really great to see your shots.
I do love the store windows at Christmas time. Reminds me of when I was small and I'd be so enamoured of all that magic. Thanks for taking me back, Carol! Love the piggy bank, too. xo
Simony: More dancers coming, none of them black swans- I'm too afraid to see that movie. I'll stick with The Red Shoes on Netflix (free this month too) New York is freezing too & no flurries yet :)
I will not be able to resist seeing "The Black Swan," I'm afraid. Well, I'm not actually afraid, but very curious. I enjoyed a brisk walk across Central Park on Saturday, and certainly could have used something close to legwarmers. Winter seems to be here, at last... and alas.
I saw these displays when I was In NY last week and took lots of pictures too. It was stunning! I mourn the old Bendel's too - the best shopping in NY. Did you see the foodie windows at Barney's too? Hilarious!

Love the ostrich legwarmers - that's rather inspired.

Great shots Carol. I love the first one but the girl in pink is my favorite!! Yes my email post is different too.
HOW beautiful is this!

Not crazy about the dangling ballerinas. It looks like a macabre gallows.

Ah Bendels et ses décors de rêves!

Oh how I miss Bendels. Home of all my Christmas party dresses since the early 1970's .. and a present or two throughout the years ..

They had the BEST clothes in New York Broad...

Swooning over Bendel's and your painting!

Simply lovely! I want an outfit like those ballerinas!
I love the macaron ribbon watercolor is it for sale? It is just precious...

I've always looked better in black!

Dangling ballerinas and sugarplums... I love it!
Amazing displays...very much gets one into the holiday spirit!
Yes, interesting to see that we chose a similar (dancing) theme the same day! How is that possible?
