heal thyself
I have decided to interpret this shop window’s signage and decoration as self-help advice. I don’t mean to imply that I’ve healed myself, or anything like that. All I really mean, probably, is that I like the IDEA of it. And the words.
And that giraffe-neck on the dusty mannequin adds a certain flair to the whole thing.

Shop Window
The shop was closed when I went by, which is a shame: that assortment of things in the window was very interesting.

They do go on
This store, The Famous, has been out of business for years – ten or fifteen, maybe. The last window displays are still there, in all of their faded, out-of-fashion glory. Like this dimpled lad, with his platinum hair and sun-burnt tuxedo. And, isn’t he wearing a surprising amount of eye makeup? Or, maybe that’s what you do when you wear a tux; my experience is pretty limited.
