CHRISTMAS PIGEONS!

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention a detail from yesterday's post from the stunning windows at Bergdorf Goodman. Was it Tundra Bunny who mentioned where were the NYC rats??? The windows were an ode to NYC landmarks, and long-standing intuitions and characters. alas, there were no rats. But leave it to Bergdorfs to ALWAYS tie in a lovely little detail, that most passer by miss. The windows are always filled with details. Every peer in, and the more you study it, you will find more awesome little revels and bits of surprise and delight. While not rats, it's the next best thing in NYC....it's pigeons! So let me not forget to mention the dozens of sparkling and bejeweled couture pigeons created by Burke & Pryde. They're sprinkled throughout each window, and no two are the same. Each one is adorned with colorful sequins and unique patterns.


How do I get my mits on one after Christmas? One of those would look amazing in my Christmas tree that features many birds? I also think the Dame's shop kitty that he puts food out for would love the pigeons...although, Priscilla didn't seem to care, but more pissed I was snapping her picture.

And I mentioned that clan member Preston is now working at Bergdorfs..... HUMMMMMMMMM. That may be my in to capturing one of those birds. *evilly rubs hands* Meanwhile he took these amazing photos early before the store opened. I had to share them. Even closed it still looks elegant, but way more haunting. I adored these.

When I worked at Bloomingdales, all those years, I always loved the early mornings before anyone was in. Haunting, peaceful, and something special about it.

  1. Wonderful photos of the empty store. The drag queens of the bird world is my reaction to the pigeons.

  2. How do you know they're pigeons? They look more like doves to me. 😎😎😎

  3. I think they could be doves as well, and I would love to take the green one home. She looks like she would prance around on St. Patty's Day, too.

  4. I hate pigeons; they are nasty birds. But the ones in your pics almost change my mind.

  8. Macy’s in the ’70s the Christmas I worked there didn’t have the same magic back then. I love Bergdorf’s and I want a pigeon, too! And I’m not even picky. I’ll take what you don’t want.
