As the rival of the Printemps store, Galeries Lafayette's window displays are rarely is good as its
neighbour's. However, one inside the store the incredible Xmas tree will just blow you away. Check
out our photos...

Don't get us wrong; we have nothing against Galeries Lafayette. It's just that over the years we've
always preferred the window displays of the Printemps store, more inventive and stylish. This year
is no exception; GL could do with a little more imagination, something new (but - hey - go down and
judge for yourselves!). There are already huge queues in front of the main windows, worsened by the
smaller space available in front of the store. If you want to get a decent view, best go early or -
even better - late, when all the lights are illuminated. You'll find a whole load of teddy bears,
dolls and inverted flamingoes waiting for you!
Despite not being bowled over by the kids windows, we had to admit that the fashion displays were
rather good...
Our favourite was this one, where you had to look down into a mirror to see the model stuck to the
ceiling. Can you see it?...
You should also be sure to look at the displays on the sides of the buildings (most people don't
even notice that they are there). Although they are all sponsored by a brand name and do not move,
there are some humorous touches that should make you smile...
And let's not forget that the interior of the store is one of the marvels of the city. Their huge
tree is awe-inspiring, the carved arches and glass ceiling are both amazing, and the giant balloons
set the whole thing off to amazing effect. Despite having seen it twenty times before, I was blown
away!
And there are couple of things not to forget to see when leaving: 1. A window display on the side
of one of the buildings with Vuitton clothes, surrounded with mirrors and dripping with thousands
of Swarovski crystals...
...and 2. The façade of the buildings and the lights (which are animated this year for the
first time, I think...).

On the November 30 edition
of CBS' Face the Nation, while discussing President-elect Barack Obama's expected
nomination of Sen. Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, Washington Post assistant
managing editor Bob Woodward remarked of Clinton: "She never goes away, she and her husband."
Woodward then added: "It's an amazing national security team that Obama appears to have selected.
It's kind of like 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' You've got too cool, which might be -- or at
least appropriately cool -- General [James] Jones as the national security adviser; [Defense
Secretary Robert] Gates is kind of just right, in the middle; and Hillary Clinton, hot." He
continued: "This is going to be a whole new center of gravity for the news media, for the world.
My assessment -- without having any knowledge, really -- is that the economists and the economic
team around Obama convinced him that the economic crisis is so deep and going to require so much
time, go ahead and give Hillary and Bill the world."
From the November 30 edition of CBS' Face the Nation:
BOB SCHIEFFER (host): Bob Woodward, the president, if all goes as expected, at 10:50 Eastern Time
tomorrow will announce his new national security team, to be headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton as
secretary of state.
WOODWARD: She never goes away, she and her husband. It's an amazing national security team that
Obama appears to have selected. It's kind of like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." You've got
too cool, which might be -- or at least appropriately cool -- General Jones as the national
security adviser; Gates is kind of just right, in the middle; and Hillary Clinton, hot.
This is going to be a whole new center of gravity for the news media, for the world. My
assessment -- without having any knowledge, really -- is that the economists and the economic
team around Obama convinced him that the economic crisis is so deep and going to require so much
time, go ahead and give Hillary and Bill the world.

alternate history of the past three decades of popular music-- one that extends beyond the typical
Baby Boomer-approved canon of the Clash, Prince, Public Enemy, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Outkast.br

today's leading lights such as the Arcade Fire, the White Stripes, and Kanye West; from superstars
to cult heroes; and from punk, indie, and pop to hip-hop, electronic music, and metal, we've
created the ultimate playlist. Interspersed throughout are sidebars on the most vital subgenres
from electro to grime to riot grrrl, along with pieces like "Career Killers: The Songs That Ended
It All" and "Runaway Trainwrecks: The Post-Grunge Nadir."br /br /Edited by Pitchfork
founder/president Ryan Schreiber and editor-in-chief Scott Plagenhoef, and written by an all-star
team of contributors, The Pitchfork 500 is the perfect book for the train ride to work, a cozy
winter's night by the fireside, or extended stays on the toilet. And it sure would make for a nice
