Bloomingdale's Cirque du Soleil Holiday Window Display

This year's Bloomingdale's Lexington Avenue store holiday window display takes inspiration from Paramount Pictures’ movie, “Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away 3D,” which will be released in theaters on December 21. Five scenes from the film are depicted inside the windows. The displays utilize hand-painted fantasy murals and sculpted animation to recreated the scenes.

Bloomingdale's

Rainbow colors and rainbow flags were quite visible last week for gay pride week in the city. Originally designed by San Francisco artist, Gilbert Baker, the rainbow flag represents gay pride, and is often used to mark gay friendly  establishments such as American Apparel, Bloomingdale's, and Armani Exchange. The rainbow colors also symbolize plurality and love of life. It is estimated that New York City has the largest self-identifying gay and bisexual community in the United States.

Zombiecon 2009: Zombies Invade Bloomingdale's

It's not even Halloween and the zombies roamed the streets of Manhattan today. ZombieCon is the annual, loosely organized parade of the slobbering undead, the bloody, and the battered, combining the things that many people in the city love - street theater, costume and make-up, and Halloween parties. The zombies assembled at The Carriage on 59th Street (off 3rd Avenue), invaded Bloomingdale's, and horrified other parts of Manhattan.
