The window displays at Kleinfeld appropriately read "Join the Wedding Family Circus." In one window, a blindfolded male mannequin stands in the center of a large target, while sets of mini mannequins perform various circus acts like lion taming. (Did you catch the whole groom-for-lion switcheroo? Clever, Kleinfeld.) In the other window, a female mannequin holding a bow and arrow, presumably aimed at the blindfolded male in the other window, poses among a sea of other circus performers, including a bride tightrope walker and a saw-waving male magician who is clearly gloating over having just sawed his bride in half. (The mustache says it all.)—Katherine Park
