More Fiesta-ing

Believe it or not, I've managed to live in San Antonio for the better part of the last 10 years and never been to the "Battle of Flowers" parade. Monica and I didn't actually plan on going to the parade today, because we know it gets crazy downtown, but we wanted to go to Market Square and hang out for a bit, and the parade route pretty much ends at Market Square, we happened to be there when the parade started, so we figured, what the hell?

More "What Not to Wear--Fiesta Edition"




Who knew? Maybe Rachel can be a dancer...


It's all about the shoes: Since the parade is so long (well over 2 miles, I think) the queens on the floats wear comfy, funky shoes. All along the parade route, people shout, "Show us your shoes!" It's hard to see, but this girl was wearing flippers!


My favorite float in the whole parade. Sit Ubu, sit. Good boy!
