More LADIES for my Easter Hat

Thirty more PAINTED LADIES who were ‘rejected’ ……so they too will NOT 

be making an appearance on my EASTER HAT.

The lady in RED almost made the cut……….but that nose  was just too much!

LADY GODIVA did NOT make the cut either

Oh Lady Godiva….

so sorry you won’t be seen in the Easter Parade on 5th Avenue.

Some of the accessories that it takes to “dress a lady”.

 

EASTER PARADE on 5TH Avenue

Ale B MAKEUP was on 5th Avenue with her FASCINATOR hats.

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

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

EASTER PARADE on 5th Avenue

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

These were my 25 faves.

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

and a compliment to the ladies on my hat!

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
