Barneys New York’s 2009 Holiday window display, Have a Witty Holiday, was inspired by the 35th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. The windows, designed by Simon Doonan, featured tableaux of memorable moments, depicted with paper-mâché caricatures, from the show.

Barneys New York was founded in 1923 when Barney Pressman opened his first store in Manhattan with money he raised by pawning his wife’s engagement ring. In 1970, the original four-level store on 7th Avenue and 17th Street was expanded an additional floor and a new five-story adjacent building before relocating to its current location on Madison Avenue and 60th Street in 1993.

Question by Kristina: Is bee pollen safe to consume while breastfeeding?
I heard bee pollen helps with raising energy level as well as other things. Is it ok to take while breastfeeding an infant?

  3. Yes it is…

    You have the ability to fend off any bacteria it may have and none of that bacteria will pass to the milk.

    Bee pollen is actually really good for you!

    I was told that if you put breastmilk in a liquid that had bacteria in it the bacteria level would be lower after you added it in… Something neat my lactation consultant told me!
