artists and hippies and cars, OH My!

.. picking up where i left off...
Prepared to be bombarded with pics!

i'm adding more from the ARTrageous Parade with some short commentary. the way time is flying, i'd better get these up before the next exciting event ; )

and here come Kathy, J.D.'s wife


then they mingled a bit.. i kept trying to get them to turn my way!! i STiLL LoVe the fairy wings... i MuST have some!


This was my favorite costume!!! whatever that head piece was made out of (something slinky like??) it collapsed and expanded.. TOO Funny!

Next came Africa in the Ozarks.. a simple float followed by the drummers and dancers! What a ToTaL charge they give off. one of these daze.... if my life ever slows down, i am going to the tuesday night classes!!!






and another fun hat..



this next picture, i just could not resist.... definitely a slice of life here


and what parade isn't complete without a marching band!


a new hybrid flower!!! behind her come the diversity artists.. our friends Stan and Billy were part of that


Stan is in the blue beret with tea strainers for glasses. Billy is wearing the yellow beret. I told him he looked like the secret service.. seriously guarding whoever is in that car!!!




still irresistable.. little girls dressed as princesses!

and the fun continues... more costumes.. belly dancers.. another class i intend on participating in...



a finally.. a few cars from the ART Car parade. the VW bug is completely covered with found cigarette butts! who'd have thoughts ugly butts would make a cute bug??




thus concludes my photo sharing.. i HOPE you enjoyed them!!
