My cosmos is mine
I have about 29 new window display photos from Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Kleinfeld Bridal, as well as three shots of family cats Treble and Kiwi Herman, up at my Flickr.
Kleinfeld Bridal again had a concept that it took me a bit of thinking to understand--the embedded thumbnail is of one of their two windows--but then I looked at the painting in the purple box and got it. She's painting Ken, and these mannequins are in Barbie doll boxes.

I borrowed Depeche Mode's new album, Memento Mori, from the library and I'm loving it, to my relief. When they performed "Ghosts Again" live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert they'd looked and sounded old and tired, so I worried, especially since an original band member, Andy Fletcher, had died in May 2022. Hilariously, Colbert released a clip of them doing "Personal Jesus" live on the same show only to YouTube, and there they sounded and did great.
For those wondering, Memento Mori is kind of in the vein of their 2013 Delta Machine album, rather dark and with a lot of bass, full-bodied, synthy and with some industrial touches. I hear a bit of 2017's Spirit at times too.
If someone had me in the 1980s that I'd still be listening to and enjoying new music from Depeche Mode 40 years later, my mind would've been boggled.
