I’m standing in front of the windows at Bergdorf’s and I’m transported. I do this every time I can when in New York. Inside, I have a lively exchange with a salesperson about the price of the most fantastic silk brocade coat I’ve ever seen (let’s be fair, no names). I look around and notice a woman angrily snatching at a dress on the rack, frowning and comparing it rather unfavorably to her great grandmother’s couture dress. Another is checking for size 0s and exuding body anxiety. A third woman with an edgy sequin T-shirt, sky blue hair, and a “strictly business” arrogance is clearly shopping as her boss’s surrogate abusive consumer. What is their problem? The whole place is GORGEOUS! Can’t say it isn’t luxurious. So why aren’t more customers and salespeople having a yumilicious time?
Saint Patrick’s Day is nearly upon us, and at Dandelion Chandelier we’re excited to celebrate it with our friends. As you know, we freely invite ourselves to every good party, and this one is no exception. We still remember fondly when the Irish embraced former President Obama in the 2011 as a blood relative because he had a trace of Ireland in his ancestry (he visited the town of Moneygall—home of his great-great-great grandfather—and met some distant cousins for the first time). Hey, at least once a year, we’re all Irish!
