Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 13, 2021

I like well-hung window dressers, so long as they’re not constantly using me as a mannequin or draping themselves all over me.

Dressing windows makes the world go ‘round … or not …!

?I dress my own windows?

I asked why she dressed in front of the open window. She said; “If they’ve seen it before, it’s nothing new. If they haven’t, they need the education.”

Window dressers do it better.

Subliminal messages

Like a bat out of hell if you drink Bacardi and Tab Cola.

You talkin’ to me?

i was saved by a window dresser…. made me go straight.

I expect Kim Cattrall to show up at any moment…

The staff at Marshall Field’s made high art of window dressing, and their creativity is much missed at the flagship store, now occupied by miserable Macy’s….

…Mz. T., great art today…

…I keep my hourglass in the top left dresser drawer…

…my looking glass in the the bottom right…

…in high-school I walked a mile to my girlfriend’s house & then another to school…

…her bedroom window faced oncoming traffic off mainstreet…

…as I advanced, I saw her remove her nightshirt to put on her bra…

…unfortunately, so did the guy in the car behind me…

…the only thing that saved me was a stiff telephone pole…

…my gal…still only in her bra…ran out the house, past me, to the guy in the car…

…he was bleeding from a superficial head wound…

…she hugged him tightly and went on…

…“Oh John, oh John, are you badly hurt, darling?”…

…finally, she looked up at me…

…Skipper, I’m going to be late for school…

…be a darling, and carry my text books with you…

…OK, I said joyfully…

…she maybe getting blood on her fancy turquoise bra for John…

…but that was just window dressing…

…I got to carry her 10 pounds of schoolboys a mile to school…

…I was her steady eddie…

It’s clean up time….memo.

Clean the window you all set up for our next production. Our regular staff shouldn’t be held responsible. Get the dang spider webs too.

Horizontal-striped tops with vertical tiger-striped bottoms? This will bring massive confusion to the autumn collection!! 8^0

Hey! Who knocked that board over? People can still see us ya know!

What I really miss is the Higbees Christmas display. It was so beautiful and animated. Higbees was in the famous movie The Christmas Story. However, The Bathmat factory managed to get the plans for their window displays and this coming Christmas, they have a real live treat in store for all of us. Sign up for our updates and specials….

And you better get busy rearranging the deck chairs. This boat’s going down!

Window 1,2, or 3… careful don’t get skunked. #3…

Oh boy #3 is our female model dressed in nothing. We were told not to dress her…

Y’all are misreading this.

It says, “Save it window for the dresser.”

(Vlad was having a little fun at Her expense)

Re the Blog: wonder if he’s related to the berry farmer …?

I remember seeing a window dresser a long time ago, off Times Square. Actually, she was more of an un -dresser because she was slowly taking off her clothes. Then the window closed and I had to pay another $5.

The Call to becoming a Window Dresser is a very special and rare one. Even on Day 2….

Butter is good. Butter is bad. Eggs are good. Eggs are bad. Coffee is bad. Coffee is good. Wine is bad. Wine is good. Phytic acid is bad. Phytic acid is good. Frog Applause is good. Frog Applause is Vlad.

Hey

…the raspberry tube top and the short short cut off jeans were put on two mannequins…

…one wore its hair butch and was blond…the other with an afro and shades…

…Andrew always thought they were looking at him as he walked by…

…the one with the fro seemed to have a devilish wicked smile and the other one of forbidden fruit…

…the were posed the same except in different directions…

…every day as Andrew walked by he became more enamoured by them…

…he called them both Alice…

…but he knew the difference…

…he looked forward to seeing them…

…and a happiness enveloped him just before greeting them each morning on the way to the cafe’…

…then, one day they were replaced by fall fashion divas…

…but a billboard across the street had a woman with a nice smile…

I’ve saved quite a bit of it over the past 14 months, and now that I’ve been vaccinated, I will be ready for nonessential public presentation once again. I must say, though, that the window dressers didn’t occur to me as the most deserving recipients of this accumulation.

How much is that pussy in the window? Oh please is that pussy for sale?
