Maybe Lady Gaga Is Controlling Our Weather

This past weekend we've had some nice weather, in the 50s, though when the sun goes down the cold returns as a reminder that this is winter. But, for New York, it's been very mild. It feel a bit weird actually. Like lady Gaga's outfits. The windows at Barney's (Madison/61St) are all Gaga!

I know NYC is consumerism central, but some of the stores' windows are nicely decorated for the holidays.

Do you know that all this glitter, the expensive shops, the $30 hamburgers, and the overall extravagance in NYC is supported by tourism and about 65,000 people of the super wealthy elite? Yeap, most NYorkers can't afford most of the expensive stuff. NYS and particularly NYC have the worst wealth & income distribution in the US, and among the worst in the world! Something to keep in mind when you hear that NY has streets paved in gold...
