more from Venezianische Messe 2012

Hi, a few more photos and vids. Although it was early September, the temperature was hitting the eighties and I really felt for some of these guys. They were dressed up all day and spent a lot of time posing for the cameras and wearing the masks they couldn't even grab a drink and they do it all for fun.

The detail on some of the costumes was amazing and reflected the hours of work put into them.

 This peacock costume even had peacock shoes !!

So I will leave you with a video, this was advertising as a balance act so I had visions of  a tightrope act or the Chinese style balancing chairs on your head sort of thing. Nothing prepared me for this !!



Again thanks to Bikerted for the film.

Truly AWE-some! I'd say there were thousands of hours, or more, of work, in some of those costumes! Thanks for sharing all the photos and this riveting vid. I think I was holding my breath all the way through that!
