Tiffany moment.....(我認為典出：一輛黃色的士在清晨時分停在位於第五大道的蒂芙尼公司門口。衣著優雅的荷莉·葛萊特利（Holly Golightly，奧黛麗·赫本飾演）隨即下車，一邊透過櫥窗看蒂芙尼的商品，一邊吃酥皮點心，飲咖啡。(第凡內早餐（Breakfast at Tiffany's），是一部於1961年上映的美國愛情喜劇)

Tiffany

A girl who is so dumb she doesn't know the difference between a state and a continent. Usually found in middle class america who's mom is better looking than she is. Most likely to have a small mammal pet with no brain also just like her. Common sense is also lacking in this specimen, beware if you meet one.

Beginnings
In 1924, Macy's hosted its first parade, then known as the Macy's Christmas Parade. Macy's employees participated in the inaugural event, and the company borrowed live animals from the Central Park Zoo to accompany the floats. The parade's success was encouraging, and as a result, Macy's decided to make the event an annual occurrence. Above: a parade float from the Macy's 1926 Thank

Bart Simpson Floats Along the Parade Route

When was the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Eighty-five years ago, on November 27, 1924, a quarter of a million people lined a two-mile stretch of Broadway, from Central Park West to Herald Square, to watch the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Floats carried Macy's employees dressed up as cowboys and sheiks, clowns and knights; there were live animals that had been loaned from the Central Park Zoo and marching bands. The huge parade was a hit and it became an annual event. In 1927, the first of the trademark balloons — one of Felix the Cat — floated down the parade route. This year, the route has been changed: it will begin on 77th Street and Central Park West and avoid Broadway entirely as it makes its way past Herald Square to 7th Avenue. Some of the stars participating in this year's parade will include Jimmy Fallon, Jane Krakowski, Tiffany Thornton, Andrea Bocelli, the cast of Sesame Street and Carly Simon. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the parade!
