Bear's Breakfast at Tiffanys

Bear insisted we look at Tiffanys windows Christmas day...
And what Bear wants,
Bear gets...
Even if it meant rousing himself out of hibernation...
Even if it meant pushing other window viewers out of the way...
And stepping on a few paws...

Tiffanys outdid themselves this year.

Don't you think?

Catty-corner Bergdorfs is up to tricks with an all paper window...

Even a paper panda bear...

Well a bit of fur was included...

And a French Bulldog wearing a French bow...

Bear is in love...

With this diamond leash.

Bear has stars in his eyes...

What did YOU do Xmas Day?"

Barneys Gaga

Barneys Xmas windows are an homage to Lady Gaga...
Do drop in for a look at Gaga's designs on the 5th floor...
A sufficiently hairy fan poses in front of Gaga's Boudoir. My hair is too short for this...

Gaga is famous for her outfits and bows made of hair but a hairy shoe and a hairy dressing table may be taking hair too far...

A hairy chaise lounge...

And a hairy chaise/chair. One wonders how sturdy this it..?

Looking hairless more like chihuahua, Gaga spins...

Flying hair...

Inside Barneys Gaga greets you wearing an Andy wig. Is this from a few years ago Barneys windows?

Neon Gaga in a different hairdo...

If you buy some of Gaga's goodies on the 5th floor you'll get this Gaga bag. And 25% of sales from Gaga's Workshop will benefit the Born This Way Foundation.

Like these chocolate Gaga 'lipsticks' ($18.)

So grab your hairbow...

And head on over to Barneys.

BONJOUR LADY GAGA!

How 2 Survive Thanksgiving

We would all love to have Mona Lisa's composure on TG(Thanksgiving). Instead of falling to bits in a panic.

Dr Steve says knitting is the key.

To finding your inner serenity - something the French have known forever.

Not only is knitting responsible for the famous French aura of inner mystery, but it keeps hands busy (out of the fridge) and necks well protected. i.e. Why the French neck is so enwrapped both winter and summer in my opinion.

Now that we've worked out what you should wear to TG dinner.

And what you should not.

Just a reminder to eat your veggies.

And when dessert is served...

Think Limoge pill boxes and abstain if possible.

DO keep your pets off the host's furniture.

Put a bow in your hair and carry on.

BON(NNE) THANKSGIVING!

Paris Bowpeep

The French obsession with bows starts early, like day 1.
Bows to the left of me, bows to the right, here I am stuck.

My French friend is visiting and I am inundated with bows.

Bows for shopping in Soho.

(French Girl being French drinks Coke)

No two ways about it.

French Girl is a bow-a-holic

Her favorite jacket by designer Paul Ka with the bow worn aft

I picked up this H&M Lanvin (another bow lover) T-shirt for her

I tried to buy this Lanvin T off the sales help but he wouldn't budge..

Yesterday we browsed at Soho Hollister where the men...

Wear almost nothing.

It's pitch dark inside but there are plenty of bows to be seen.

The chandeliers alone are worth the visit if you're not into buff guys wearing nose-kote.

Back to Paris and bow tops for the preteens..

It's my contention that the French are not so well-endowed upstairs - therefor the bow covers what's missing. No bows on the derriere you will note.

Cafe Pouchkine had the only gateaux I could find with a bow.

BONJOUR BOWS
