It's spring time in Nola :) and to most of us this means one MAJOR thing: Jazz Fest! Today kicks off one of THE most historic Jazz Fests known to man. With a line up that includes Simon & Garfunkel (I know right?!), George Clinton, Anita Baker, B.B. King, !DJ SOUL SISTER!, etc. it's sure to be a rockin good time down in the Crescent City.
The best thing about this Festival is the one of a kind crowd dynamic. Jazz Fest caters to an older generation...bringing out the tried and true hippies. I was lucky enough to run into two of these flower children on the morning streetcar commute! A. the woman was wearing a tambourine around her neck (amaze.) B. the man was beginning his annual Jazz Fest journal (incred.) C. their hats were KILLER. (killer.) When asked if I could snap a shot for the creme, they told me the hats were a work in progess since the early 70s. Covered in equal rights sloganed stickers, various festival pins, and an occasional fake eyeball, these chapeaus really killed it.
Vickers (other ruler of the creme) and I will be festing @ Festival Internationale this weekend....be sure to keep your eye out for more boho chic posts to come! (and maybe a tatoo or two...say that 5 times fast, double dog dare ya)
Love this! I need a hat like that.
ReplyDeleteI will try my hardest to look fashionable for my leetle stylistas, but sadly i may be caught wearing work clothes for the majority of Festival.
