Windows photo shopping ( Part 1 )

(Part 1 or 2. Continued here.)

It is this time of the year when we indulge in window photo shopping. Winter themes are everywhere: maneuvering through crowds brings images of slalom superimposed on waiter’s race ( aka Kellner Wettlauf ) with precious gear to be safely delivered to an illusory location from which an image has to be taken while the light is just right. Best shopping, it says, is along 5th Ave. Best windows photo shopping is on short stretch from Pulitzer Fountain (bequeathed to the city of New York by the founder of yellow press, whose annual award deemed by the media so prestigious) to, ideally, Lord & Taylor. This leg of the race starts with Sherry Netherland Hotel and its a la Vieille Russie tenant, chic Ritz, Bergdorf Goodman with competing Bulgary (sharing The Crown Building with Playboy), Trump Tower leaning on Tiffany, Henri Bendel overlooking former location of the Disney flagship store, triumvirate  of Wempe, Swarovski and Lindt, passing the baton to Takashimaya (hijacked by Forever 21),   Elizabeth Arden and the ghost of Fortunoff, Cartier, Versace, dramatically finishing, not without   St. Patrick’s blessing, at Saks – Rockefeller. Bergdorf Goodman stands out of the fancy bunch.  Its reflection of the City is unique, reflecting its unique position in the city. Eventually, we derived the law of perceptive reflection, which says that: for a SPE[CTA]CULAR reflection the angle at which you incidentally view the city equals the angle of  your attitude towards it.
