It didn't look very Mexican but it was a lot of fun. The Cinco de Mayo festival had a parade for the first time, a come-as-you-are affair for the decidedly eccentric. The impresario was St. Louis artist Sarah Paulsen. She was one of the first people I photographed when I started going around to artists' studios and saying, "Hi, I'm Bob Crowe. Can I take your portrait?" Luckily for my self-esteem she did not give me the heave ho. The portrait turned out pretty well. You can see my photograph of Sarah here.More from Cinco de Mayo tomorrow.

Great photos. We don't really have parades like this where I live so It's always fun to see!
Neat photos. I liked their sign.
I remember Sarah very well. I loved the artwork behind her as well. I think you stumbled upon a fun event here B. I got a chuckly out of these! My grandson Davis enjoyed looking at them too.

This looks like a hoot! Sort of combo dia de los muertos and mardi gras or something.
May is obvioulsy a month of holidays ans celebrations all over!
Great photos of this parade, it looks almost like a carnival with a lot of music and fun. Its strange that 5 of May celebrates with parades in some cities of USA and not properly in Mexico, only in festival schools. Greetings from MC and thanks a lot for your kind words.
