Brides-to-be… oh, how they agonise for months, years, even decades(!) over THE PERFECT DRESS! Then the big day finally arrives… and their ensemble may not be every inch the epitome of elegance in the way they had intended. At least not from every angle…
There’s some serious hat envy going on here:
What is it with garishly coloured hair, I wonder? I had a school friend once who dyed her long mane blue. She was 16, very beautiful, and it looked great. But why is it that middle-aged women are going for red? And I don’t mean the natural redhead look in an effort to hide the grey, oh no, it’s an all-out ****LOOK AT ME I’M HERE!!!**** tabasco sauce red.
Leopard Print – The Sordid Sequel
Do you remember this lady from my leopard print rant a couple of weeks ago?
Well, this week, I spotted her doppelgänger:
I ruminated over this last one for ages, only to draw a complete and utter blank. So, I thought, I’d leave it to my very witty and inventive readers to think of a catchy caption. The guy sitting behind the bench, in case you can’t quite make it out, is actually dressed as a monk. I’ve no idea what he’s planning to do there.
That’s it for this week, peeps. If you’re a new reader and you want to catch up on the rest of the Street Snaps series, just click here.
Never understood, why women dye their hair in that ugly colour. Since most of them are already at an rather advanced age it might be some kind of “widows rust”? No comment on the bride nor the leomops.

Several things. Not sure about that wedding dress–can’t figure it out at all. Last minute purchase. Two: I want to buy a hat so the woman will give me a nasty look. Love the expression on her friends face. three: the dog looks much cuter than that woman. Four: no idea for a caption

I guess she looks a little bit like a penis, but at least it adds a little something to a pretty boring ensemble.
Also, that guy is obviously pouting that his Dungeons and Dragons friends stood him up (he even brought chalices for everyone)!
