Window Shopping by Secret Agent

Your standard window display is a question of advertising, the production of desire in passersby. That's easy enough:
Plenty of folk looked on enviously as we enjoyed the life you can only get by taking it, making it. (complete with picture hanging from wall of people!)
We were of course displaying plenty of other things: not least, that window which most people allow to be about a week long, but which I limit to a day--the time in which it is reasonable to celebrate one's birthday.

I'm still not sure it counts as a "window display", but what an epic day out. I'm voting for the fact that your curtains match your waistcoat (how often do you get to write that)...

Thanks for the matching vote.
Most of the documentation is peripheral to the actual display--only a couple of those shots capture the actual moment of display, with 'live models' and the sort of tableau one might expect. But anyway I was much more interested in the various interactions that congealed around those moments, and without which the display itself wouldn't have happened.
Wow. Gulp. Thanks.
