    That picture is strangely disturbing. I wouldn't want to run into her in a dark alley! LOL!

    This photo reminds me of before my husband and I were married and he took me to my first experience with Greek Carnival in Patras. We are trying to get into the spirit over here, the kids are to wear their apokreatiko costume to school tomorrow. :)

    Belpana, It's everywhere! We're heading into the big weekend. Our kids have had to dress up twice thus far and once again for school tomorrow. Also, we have to do it all weekend. Have fun!

    I don't know that it is a she, looks more he-like. The upper half is strangely disproportionate to the lower half. Quite disturbing, but that is what carnival is all about, right?
