While it is not Carnival time...one has to experience some of what Carnival must be like in Rio. This was my attempt at experience. It was not quite at the level of Cirque du Soleil....but the costumes were beautiful and the music kept your toe tapping.....of course there were a number of dancers.....
With the change of costumes coming quite often.....
A backup band of drums and symbols....
More costumes......even more glitter and color....I guess I should imagine this as going down the street?....
Then some gymnastics....
More Samba band.....different costumes of course...
This guy was one of the highlights.....an act of twirling two balls on then ends of rope....quite remarkable what the guy could do and these twirling balls appeared to be airplane propellers...
The band is back....heading to the finale.....
Now this....was any drag-queens dream....these outfits were unreal.....
.....and then the feathers were added...some were at least 12 feet high.....
...and more colorful than the last....
..and another wow factor!!
So....that was my Carnival experience....I think I need to come back for the real thing. Oh, but for the photo of the day....I picked this....one Cher would include in her wardrobe I am sure....no I am positive.....it just looks like she had used this in one of her many come-back tours!!! Check it out....
