Here we go again! New York City Easter Parade 2019 where Fifth Avenue is the city's runway for the most creative in headgear. Millinery enthusiasts, Easter Bunny fans, spring fashionistas all came out for a (marshmallow) peep show.
Yours truly showed off my red butterfly ensemble, spending hours and hours the night before with a hot glue gun. I was truly lucky to have my sister, brother in law, nephew, niece and husband with me as an awesome bunny brigade. They were amused to see dressed up dogs. I was particularly amused to see a guinea pig named Piggy Stardust in a sparkly egg.
Trends this year were Alice in Wonderland themed looks. Always popular are NYC landmarks made into hats. I love groups that celebrate their cultural heritage with an Easter themed update, like the beautiful QiPao Society ladies, combining traditional Chinese garb with flowery bonnets. Another popular group were the Norwegians who mashed up horned helmets with lots of spring blooms.
The NYC Easter Parade attracts fans of all ages and cultures. Everyone walks around with a big smile on their face.
