The figure-eight mirror on the papyrus-strewn floor of a Paris department store holiday vitrine...
...reflects a tulle-wearing mannequin suspended from the ceiling.

I SO want to go window shopping in Paris. These windows are amazing. I'm about to OD on beauty overload. Thank you so much for sharing. Talk about vicarious thrills.

It was great to shoot these windows. Alice au pays des merveilles is always a funny theme! And, I've always loved pink. I'm also a big fan of the Printemps windows!

So much loveliness in Paris. Who has any other choice than to be an artist when one is surrounded with so much inspiration?

Hey lady! Missing you :(
But! I love these photos. Hope you are home safe (if this is not a timed post.)
Um, oh yes, wanted to mention that I love the symbolism here, kindof like "the eternal dance" with the figure eight (infinity) and the Egyptian reference (papyrus)...after all, who wanted to live forever more than the Egyptians?
Well, me. If I can hang out in NY with cool gals like you!
