Pirate Festival

[AniaR]

I decided I wanted to start archiving some of the gigs I've had to share, so people can see and maybe come up with inspiration and Ideas. I already showed the Pride parade one. Well, I just did a Pirate Festival, I did it last year too. Pirates take over a small community in my province for a weekend and wander about in character, doing skits, interacting with people etc. They also have a parade.

I had to make brand new earrings and necklaces last minute- I lost mine somewhere :( so I upcycled old ones. I also wore a pony tail extension- I am doing a photoshoot soon with one being requested, so I wanted to see if my hair was actually long enough and if it would stay in and how long it would last etc. So no, that's totally NOT my real hair haha It didnt grow that fast.

A few photos...

They made me a hilarious sign

I had an insane crowd almost instantly, actually got a bit overwhelming, people did NOT believe what they were seeing. I need to start taking video of reactions, they'd be hilarious.

Once sitting down the kids came in a steady non stop stream. It was here I realized BOTH my feet were numb
