Woke up with pain in my throat and rode to the city with my sinews aching. Downed two Dayquils and will hopefully survive it through the day.
When my bus drove by Bryant Park to let me off, look what greeted me… CAMPAIGN FOR WOOL. I was late — as in REALLY late — but I couldn’t go up without snapping away.
My favorite Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain has been “dressed to the nines” in wool and surrounded by all this warm and fuzzy garb.
The public is actually allowed to sit in these beautiful lounge chairs in different shapes and sizes. Even the ever-present park chairs have been all dolled up!
Not to be spared, the trees were also outfitted with colorful wrappings of wool.
And look who’s standing guard? I thought it was the real deal but turns out it was a mannequin.
They’re even giving THIS away!
The wool looks so soft and plush and just huggable, but the asthmatic in me would think twice of diving into all that goodness.
