The
holiday display windows were such a success that they stayed up
until almost mid-February and were reviewed in the following New
York Times Article:
FOR
CHILDREN by Dulcie Leimbach

(excerpt)
Aliens do not do winter that much differently from the way you or
I do. These six new holiday windows explore the notion that outwordly
creatures have an Earth-bound holiday whirl of their own.
The windows were
designed by students from the School of Visual Arts, working
under a teacher there, Ellen Rixford, a designer of puppets and
displays. The windows' themes include baking, a musical "Joy
to the Universe" and "Dressing for the Party," in
which the main dress, a virgin-white satin, is like the Bethlehem
star that beckoned through the night...
"Dressing
for the Party"
was
designed by Robert Mendoza and Francine Kaplan.
Unfortunately,
her "fifteen minutes of fame" felt like only nine; and
she now resides deep inside a storage center encased in a plastic
garbage bag where officials will find her body decades from now...
Alas, poor Ophelia.
Suprisingly, Hara's
career was far from over... she had one more evolution left...
