It’s the time of the year when stores bring out all
the stops to outdo each other coming up with eye-popping window displays. No
place does this better than the department stores and shops that dot Fifth
Avenue and Madison Avenue in Manhattan. But many of those same stores also have
branches at the Mall at Short Hills, the same mall where I reluctantly took
part in a sting to catch a killer in AssaultWith a Deadly Glue Gun.
On a recent trip to the mall I came across some window
displays that left me rolling my eyes and scratching my head at these decidedly
un-Christmasy decorations.
For example, the windows at Dior featured life-size jungle
animals covered in red Toile fabric.
Both Prada and Hugo Boss had colorful modern
sculptures in their windows. The Prada ones reminded me of the Minions from Despicable Me. The one in the Hugo Boss window looked like a bunny head perched on a bucket perched on a pig head perched on a square face with feet.
Cacti used as shirt racks filled the window at Pink, the men's shirt store. Cacti in New Jersey. In December. Maybe in New Mexico but New Jersey?
The Christian Louboutin window did have Christmas
trees, but Christmas trees with human-looking arms and legs!
Maybe the theme for this year was Merry Weird
Christmas?
