And that’s why they call it Body Paint!
Mister Happy was posing for all of us.
She was having a grand old time.
Having a ball throwing confetti over the crowd. Quite a good aim!!
Lots of politics in the parade.
As promised…..a dancing man….just for you Michèle D!!!!
Wanted you to see the costumes from behind. Such elaborate detail
Music and dancing……..quite invigorating.
Don’t you just love the colour?
This fellow could really move but I couldn’t get a clear shot.

This woman could certainly move it.
Heels and Feathers…..both about the same height!

An oriental theme with slow deliberate movement. Quite lovely.

I’m certain Angela would not be amused.
Loved how they posed for us. Marc kept calling people over and they all obliged.
Dancing and smiling.
Love the vibrancy.
Great costumes.
Look at that happy smile.
Marc was having some fun with my camera.
More dancing men….lots of them this year compared to other years.
Of course there is always some reference to Hippies!
Revellers dressed up as much as participants in the parade
Yes, I was having a grand time.
How cute is this little matador?
This Octopus woman was delightful and latched on to Patricia and Marc.

Wow, what beautiful costumes! The colours and designs are fantastic. I would have loved to have been there to hear the music and the crowd and to see all the dancing in person. I imagine you were all having a ball.
Looking forward to the next post.
Stay happy.
