Cosmopolitan Frontier

Sometimes this wild, wild, arctic-cold Chicago Winter calls for a frontier coonskin 

hat, a full length coat and Sorel fur-lined boots.

Urban jungles need Tarzan, too.

Armed and Glamorous. Chunky baubles.

What's Up Judy?

Had the pleasure of filming some of the delightful items, friendly staff 

and customers at Judy Maxwell Home–"An Urban General Store…dedicated to fun." 

They recently relocated to the corner of 1363 N. Wells in Old Town in a

charming emporium. Named after Barbara Streisand's character in the 

movie "What's Up Doc?", Judy Maxwell Home embodies her quirky personality. 

Unique gifts, handmade toys and quilts, vintage jewelry, glittery nail polish, 

irreverent greeting cards furniture, clothing and emergency clown noses 

are just the tip of the iceberg.

with a focus on fun."

That James Bond Femme Fatale look.

Guarded by two dashing gents, her look is "James Bond Femme Fatale" in this teeny, 

tiny, silvery cocktail dress .
