“I don’t care if we’re Faeries, Mom: I want to dress like a Human!”
A Drone Faerie and her work basket. I’m sure she has to report back to the Queen Bee Faerie!
Blue is a favorite Faerie color, have you noticed that?
She looks like she might be on a Quest, but can you imagine hiking for very long in those boots?! Must be Magical Boots, or perhaps she has a way of flying from place to place?
Another Quest Seeker. Oh, wait: her entire Quest is to find the Best Bargain. Or the Vendors who accept Visa, Mastercard or Debit.
Then, again, maybe she’s looking for the animé con?
This is Alice. Alice has mugged The White Rabbit and stolen his outfit. She looks classier than the White Rabbit, anyway.
I merely regret that I did not get Alice’s boots into the photograph. They rivaled Mastercard Woman’s white boots (only Alice’s were black).
Really.
Dreadlocks, feather wings and – hey! What is it with the boots, folks? There must be an extra three pounds per foot there!
100% wool, hand dyed wings. Reminds me of a cecropia moth, sort of. really sort of. A moth of some sort. The head is even fuzzy, like a moth head.
100 % wool. WAIT! How did HE get into this gallery? Okay, I guess the sheep has wings, so it counts as a Faerie. But what is that guy doing with the poor sheep tied onto his back? Set the sheep free, Man!
The colors! Oh, the colors! Imagine the music they dance to matches the colors.
Love the shoes, too. Much better than the boots!
Some faeries just never turn around so you can get a good photo. Tree Head here was with a very fiery-headed faerie. I rather liked Tree Head.
OK, I understand Alice’s hat. But what is with the hats here? Clown Faeries. That’s it. They are Clown Faeries.
Black is also a favorite Faerie color. Striped legs, too. And boots. And hats.
Bet you hadn’t figured that out, yet.
No idea where he’s going or what he’s got in that silver case, but here’s a true Were Cat on the move. A living one, too. A rather handsome one.
A woodland Faerie. She looks very much like a true woodland faerie and even has her basket in hand.
This is my friend, before she changed into the cooler Luna costume. I was supposed to get some candid photos of her, but she saw me aim the camera. Still – it looks very candid and not too posed at all. Of course, the subject matter is very photogenic.
WARNING.
The next photo could fit into the Bad Faeries. I almost put it there. But I had to ask myself “why?” Why were they “bad” faeries other than their color choice was a bit, well- bright? Was it the prejudices of society? Or was it that, simply put, I was reminded of the Trash Heap from Fraggle Rock? And if the latter was the case, what was wrong? I like Marjory the Trash Heap.
The reason I have included it here is because I decided that I really didn’t find these costumes so offensive as I found them a bit bright and over-stated. But, taken with the whole of their booth, the mannequin, and their smiles – well, they grew on me. I rather liked their choice of costumes and I thought that they were actually pretty decent. And I concluded that it is time we skinny people give large people a break. So I give this last photo to you in tribute to all my larger-than-life friends: if you want to find your inner faerie, be bold!
I think they are not only larger than life, but the colors flow together wonderfully. Kudos, Faeries!
Well, I have to bow out again. I have a new category of faeries to tell you about: Celebrity Sightings! And there’s still Dancing & Hula Hoop Faeries (which includes Tall Faeries). And I will get to Bad Faeries.
And as soon as Luna sends me her pics of the Orange Ade Faerie, I’ll post pics of myself… Promise.
