Sunday Photos: the wig festival

Carnival really starts with the wig party. It’s a great idea because a cheap wig is cheap and fun but creative people can get creative. Essentially we put on an art show for each other. And then drink and dance.

Sometimes groups of friends go with the same disguise – it think it would halp to keep track of each other in the crowds.

Some designs are definitely one off.

Seomtimes the make-up’s important.

And some wigs are made from wildly creative materials, like these inflated latex gloves.
