Lavish “Peep Show”

During the months of November and December, it is customary for stores to prettify their window displays with holiday gifts.  And why not?  Expansive and undersized stores transform their window displays from a rectangular, completely serviceable, and indistinguishable box into a cartridge of effusively enthusiastic holiday euphemisms.

Contrarily, there was one window display that delineated from the ubiquitous and somewhat banal holiday glass casings.  Along 5^th Avenue was a window display for the clothing and accessories retailer XOXO.  Inside were two live models engaged in monotonous undertakings.  They were clothed in sultry, vivacious, gyrating, and titillating lingerie, tiny robes, and slippers while laying on a couch or chair, scourging the inboxes of the internet for anything.

This display, while simplistic, was dazzling, brilliant, and pulsating like a space-time machine “whooshing” into the next millennium.  The window display drew flocks of people (more men than women) as a captive audience to its magnificence and grandeur.  And it was a boon for XOXO.

Unfortunately, the XOXO models faded away.  The question now is how can XOXO trump their “live show”?
