Thanks go out to Cree McCree for donating King Antoine’s crown and throne.
Girl cannot help but look glam. I mean, just look at her. She is FABULOUS, but she’s also a WARRIOR. I, as her “maker” and an aspiring dollmaker, am happy for her, but also excited to step away from the usual wacky plantation belles and gayboys I create, and to get Vivienne decked out in mirrors, silver shoes and a gigantic headpiece. Most of her and King Antoine’s costumes were made with the old-school Mardi
I present to you our Queen Vivienne Isherwood and King Antoine Glapion! They were on a fast track to oblivion, spending their days naked and buried under a pile of delicious junk at the Bargain City USA in the Bywater. Then, $1 (for each) later, they had come to stay with Tatyana and Jeremy, gradually acquiring their finery and floats. They can’t wait to preside over the parade, and Vivienne insists on THE BALL, naturally.
As most of you know, I am jonesing to have a live band amidst ‘tit Rex the night of the parade, so do what you can to find one! Assuming we do, the next step (so that they are not incongruous with the tininess of the rest of the parade), is to think of, and procure, giant costumes for the band members. I have, aided by others, come up with: Jolly Green GiantPaul BunyanStay-Puft Marshmallow
We would like to thank Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee for sharing many of his fine images of our parade with us for this website!
