OK, I realize that Valentine’s Day has passed us by, but it’s still Valentine’s Day month, and that means Pink Things associated with the Day of Love, Candy, and Cuteness are fair game. Thomas Beauty Salon, located at 231 East 14th Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenues)  was transformed into the  iconic Beauty Bar cocktail lounge over thirty years ago,  and they always have extremely cool themed-displays in their front window as exemplified by this eye-catching window which is just bursting with Pinkness!

People of a certain age (such as me) will recall a time when cat wall clocks with moving eyes and a tail that swung back and forth like a pendulum, also known as Kit-Cat Clocks, were all the rage. If you’re feeing nostalgic, these little retro kitties for the holiday tree are distributed for resale by Cody Foster and Co.  You will find them in various outlets such at this one, where you can pick up this pretty pink bauble for just $19.95! What a bargain!

Instagram Photo of The Week: Golden Harvest Rotary Dial Phone

If you’re a person of a certain generation, you may have grown up with one of these things (hint: it’s a telephone) mounted to the kitchen wall of your family home. Ah, the days of no privacy on the absolutely un-mobile phone (on which conversations could eventually be rendered somewhat more private with the addition of the very long handset extension chord)! If you enjoy art and nostalgia, I recommend the exhibit, New York 1962 – 1964 on now at the Jewish Museum. This very fun exhibit uses the museum’s influential role in the early 1960s New York art scene as a jumping-off point to examine how artists living and working in New York City responded to the events that marked this moment in time.  The exhibit features two floors of fantastic art, design, and pop culture and runs through January 8th, 2023.
