How Much is the Passed Out Stripper in the Window?

Window Display No. 1: Location: Shoe Fetish Store, Sutter Street, San Francisco. A lucite-heeled stripper wearing silver lame was in process of drunkenly decorating her dalmation just moments before passing out and slumping onto the fireplace mantel on Christmas morn. The impact of the fall caused ornaments to scatter all over the floor. 

 

Window Display No. 2: Location: Pawn Shop and Wig Store in seedy area of Market Street, San Francisco. A rapidly spinning disco ball and flashing strobe lights danced hypnotically across heavy silver chain jewelry, cheap knock-off watches, and screaming mannequin heads adorned with various shoddy wigs. While taking the photo, a man ran out from behind the counter and screamed "You want picture? Then give me 10 dollars!" After a moment or two, his face melted into a smile and he said he was just kidding.

Window Display No. 3 and 4: Location: Expensive Fine Jewelry Store, San Francisco. Pricey baubles are hidden amongst intricate art studio tableaux populated by artistic female marionettes posed in front of their paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. All photos snagged with iPhone camera.

WOW. Those marionettes were just a bit on the creepy side. Maybe I've seen too many movies, but it seems like the stringed puppets are always up to no good. Their seemingly benign expressions betray their spooky agendas. Nice pix, though.

Oh! My head is spinning like a disco ball in a pawn shop! (I am so stealing that reference, darling!)
I love how you subtly add yourself in the pics: You is da bejewelryness nestled in among the tawdry.
You add glamour and sparkle but you also have sharp edges!

HA! The added stories are hilarious! :D
I love how the first stripper was drunkenly decorating her dalmation and then passed out dramatically. Brilliant!

Beautiful - all of them and in particular the marionnettes. Their expressions are beautifully subtle, like a mona lisa smile

I rather like the AFTER shot of Window #1. It tells a much more interesting story than I imagine it did before the mannequin keeled over.
