September 15, 2004 End of Summer Days
On West 4th Street in the West Village in an old and cozy 19th century
shop space is "Snip and Sip," a barber shop that doubles as a bar with a display window that's
like a diorama of summers long past. The scene comes across as a
snapshot of beach glamour straight out of Cosmopolitan magazine circa
1966. A fashion-model thin mannequin lounges in beach chair, sand
beneath her feet and paperback novel, smokes and Tab
diet cola all within easy reach. The pile of Tab cola cans adds a comic touch
of absurdity to the scene. As store front displays go in New York City (or anywhere), this is
priceless.
