Christmas in Paris 2008: Galeries Lafayette Windows

Galeries Lafayette always does a bang up job for their holiday windows.This year's background is shades of pink and red with animated marching rabbits donning red velvet coats, babies on pillowed mushroom tops pulling strings, and pink shag carpeted chicks climbing calico print trees.

Fashion windows have pale skinned mannequins with big teased blonde hair wearing white gowns made of lace and tuile with black satin ribbon trims.

There seems to be a Alice in Wonderland theme but the mannequins sure are a far out version of simple Alice trying to find her way.
