42. SCATTER MY ASHES AT BERGDORF'S

a peek behind the scenes at bergdorf goodman, the iconic, high-end new york city department store; the store with the clout to make a designer a star or keep him/her at second best.  to "show" in bergdorf's is apparently a designer's ultimate goal.  i didn't know.  but, then, i'm not much of a fashionista.  there are tons of interviews with designers, as well as personal shoppers, buyers, owners, and finally, the window decorator.  bergdorf windows are highlights and, by what this film shows, must cost a fortune!  custom art is created to make a window, or antique are purchased; the dresses come SECOND, and are chosen to fit the look of the window.  overall, there was definitely new information in this film, but is it any information that really matters?  i realize that fashion is life to so many, especially in new york.  but for me in my life, there's very little in this film that i need.  the title came from a cartoon in the new yorker.  two women having lunch, and one says this line to the other.  i expect my ashes will be spread at any number of places OTHER than bergdorf's.
