Photo Friday: Go Figure!

Go Figure.  A Photo by Susan Sanders.

As the holidays near, the stress of shopping can be overwhelming.  On this Photo Friday, Susan Sanders brings us a glimpse of the difficulties involved in selecting the perfect addition to the family presepe.

At the Piazza Navona Christmas fair, everyone gets in the act.  Grandparents, parents, and kids clamor around temporary stalls in the piazza as they decide whether this is the right year to add another wiseman, a butcher, or a pizza maker to the elaborate and ever growing nativity scene at home.

Roman Holidays: Sugar, Spice & Everything Moschino

Dancing Gingerbread Men at Rome's Moschino Store

Traditionally Moschino has used its Rome store window as a stage for fashionable cultural commentary.  They often respond to events in the Eternal City or seasonal occurances with witty displays that cut right to the heart of the matter.

This year they provide a light-hearted look at traditional Christmas treats, providing their ultra-thin mannequin with an inedible gingerbread chorus.   If there’s a second act this holiday, we’ll be sure to let you know!
