Parade of Lost Souls

[mbarrick]

Yesterday Elaine and I had a bit of a craft day making masks. Then we dressed up:


and went out to the Parade of Lost Souls:





Elaine in the crowd with the city in the far background.



Element #2: Stilt-walkers


<reptard>A dragon! Could the ILLUMINATI be involved? These ARE the same people who put on ILLUMIERE. Need I say more?</reptard>


Goths with a digital camera.







Element #1: Fire Spinners



Element #3: Middle-class white kids with drums.






Some bonfire thing I didn't get to in time. Damn.



But it's October - a bit cold for exposed breasts so, sorry, no pictures of element #4.

We had fun. As we walked around we kept hearing people saying things like "Ooh! Great masks!" and such. At one point a bunch of giggly girls ran up to us and asked to get their picture with us. At another point some women went on at length about how Elaine's corset and mask matched with my mask and shirt. If I had thought of it at the time I should have pointed out the burgundy trim on my shoes - that would have blown them away. It was fun. It wasn't The Parade of Ghouls (more), but it was fun.

It was our first time going. It was pretty neat, and totally free. We stayed for about two hours.

I really wish I had gone now. We walked the parade route earlier in the day, and watching people decorate their houses was really neat, but taking the chicklets by myself to such a crowded place seemed a bit... exhausting. You two looked fabulous though.

You know, I must have been there when you guys were watching that first fire-spinning guy... because I saw Elaine, didn't recognize her at first, but I overheard someone asking her about where she got the dress... and then I overheard, "I had it made..." or "I made it", etc. Maybe it wasn't even her (as it was dark), but... I'm sure that was her.

That would have been us for sure.
