Debra Messing, one of my favorite post-Lucy redheads, snipped the ceremonial ribbon that opened the newest Saks Fifth Avenue department on the eighth floor of the building - a shoe store so ambitious that its been given its own New York zip code by the Post Office. 10022-Shoe. Its even got its own freakin stamps. And, oh my goodness - there are 10,000 pairs of shoes on display. And, according to the NY Post, there will also be a full "shoe repair and refurbishing service, a Charbonnel et Walker chocolate café and a VIP back room for private shopping (not just shoes) with an adjacent fitting room. An express elevator will whisk shoppers straight to the floor." I say Shoewawa relocates to New York, 10022-SHOE, ey? Who's with me?
I could move there. It's bigger than my house. I'm starting to come back around to Saks. I had spurned them for a while but their shoe selection, especially online, is very very good.
Of course, Neimans is still tops on my list.

It is at times like this when I am actually happy to live in the States. Usually I wish I lived in Europe because I'm sick of Bush and wars, but this new Saks shoe store might just keep me here for awhile longer. Thank god I have friends in New York who I will be visiting in a few months...
