Barneys X-rated Windows, Hide The Children!

Barney's Has A 'Beautiful Penis' In Their Madison Avenue Window

According to The Post, that is. The NY newspaper did a hard hitting investigative report on the window display on the "offensive" images, only to find that an NY stylist describes them as "fabulous" and that the penis on the gorgeous male model is "beautiful."

Seriously, I laughed out loud when I read this in the New Yorker. Shocked was The Post reporter who viewed the windows that included images of Iman with her breasts exposed. People, keep in mind that it's a collage and you really have to look hard (no pun intended) for the breasts and penis to spot it right away!
