EASTER PARADE and JAMES and MARK got Hitched

 

James Aguiar And Mark Haldeman have always strolled down 5th Avenue in the Easter Parade.  This year their suits were white……….white feathers in their hats and jewels in their shoes.

They met 23 years ago and have always loved each other and the EASTER PARADE because it is filled with LOVE, JOY, HAPPINESS [and a lot of color].

This year they decided to GET MARRIED………before the parade started.  LINDA FARGO………..fashion director at Bergdorf’s officiated at the ceremony in Christies Sculpture Garden.

50 invited guests gathered round to watch the ceremony.

They have always passed out Easter Eggs to little kids in the parade.  This year their baskets were filled with golden eggs……….[spray paint]…….but they were filled with Jelly Beans.

Her philosophy…….LOVE WHO YOU ARE………..with her make-up line.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.  KEEP IT HEALTHY.  KEEP IT YOU.

There were several thousand HATS today in the EASTER PARADE………walking down 5th Avenue.

She was FAB.  The hat……..the outfit….. the smile………..

EASTER HATS FOR KIDS

 

I made some Easter cookies………..then I made some Easter hats for some of my little friends.

It was a tough decision….but a hat designer must decide who makes the cut

The are the lucky ladies who will be with me in the EASTER PARADE on 5th Avenue this Sunday.

EASTER PARADE • nyc 2017 • Tom and Margo and Jane

We first met years ago in the Easter Parade.……….and have remained friends…….sharing our love for hats………..Easter and otherwise.

Margo made the hats for Jane and herself….POM POMS…..Birdies and Feathers.

Margo and Karan……..sans Easter Hat……..but next year he says………

Fifth Avenue early in the morning before thew tourists descend.

Charming child………eggs and a birdie too.

This group of ladies created some of the most spectacular hats in the parade.

Jane passed out a basket full of lollies and eggs to tiny children in the parade.

I din’t have the time to create a new hat…………luckily I saved the one I made last year.  A German tourist insisted on buying it……….$100……$200……..final offer, $300.

 [No. She does not work for United Airlines].

Nancy Kwan and her papermania hat.  We loved it.

I promised them next year I would wear my Easter suit.  This year it was 82º .  HOT HOT HOT
