Barneys New York: A Scented Salute (in 6 Parts)
03 Tuesday Mar 2020
Posted in Uncategorized
I didn’t plan to walk past the Barneys flagship store on its final day, but there I was on Madison Avenue, and there it was, windows papered with those garish “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS”-style posters.

Do you watch “Schitt’s Creek”? I have to admit that it didn’t really grab my interest, initially…but then I went back and gave it a second try. It’s turned out to be an acquired taste for me.
Speaking of taste, this easy-to-miss line of rapid dialogue in the “Turkey Shoot” episode is the kind of moment that the show does so well…
