Paris storefront windows put up special Christmas-themed displays. Lots of what you expect: snow, pine trees, something cartoonish or childish.
But this one.
This one, I cannot fathom.
Are the women greeting the new year?
Why are they dressed only in giant bows and party hats? Why are their limbs strangely elongated and distorted? Is this social commentary on the unrealism of mannequins, or on the way women must present themselves, bundled, primped, and covered in sparkles, to be glamorous in our society?
Your interpretations welcome in the comments below.
This post's theme word is hiemal, "of or relating to winter."
Behold, the inscrutable hiemal display!
