Since I got See the Star done, it's time to work on another stitchalong with Sticklounge.  So it's back to Quaker Star...

Done with the Middle

Finally,  I'm done with the middle building on the right!  Now on to the smaller ones on that side...

Trash Strike and Poor Male Dancers

There was a trash strike here in December.  It was awful, with trash strewn all over the street.  This, of course, has become fodder for Carnaval.  One murga's gone a bit far in their depiction of it.








I don't know who was the costume designer for Feelings, a revista (dance group), this year, but I do pity the male dancers who had to wear these particular costumes...


On the Backside

I've started filling in the rest of the square.  The end is in sight!

Fourth Rectangle Done

It's not quite to the pattern in the chart, but the fourth rectangle of City Walk is complete.

One More Column Done

The area between the shutters in the middle is done, yay, which shows a big progress moment.  I also have started back at the top of the house with the peaches again.

C 1080 and the Least Clad

This set of pictures includes the comparsa C 1080 and a float with the least clad women on it in the whole parade.  One is wearing only thigh high boots and a thong.  Me?  I was unimpressed, except for admiring her chutzpah.  It's hard to tell in these photos that she's wearing so little, and they're in the bottom half of the post.
