Llanidloes Fancy Dress Carnival

by SeasideMan ^Pro @ 04/07/09 – 13:00:01

This is a curious event. They block off the town centre and people come out onto the streets wearing mad outfits and drink themselves stupid whilst dancing to loud music. Great fun! Below is a small selection of pictures I took of people at this event last night.

Cheers, Tom.

Wow people really go for it don't they! Looks like a great night out.
Think the Barbie one was really clever.

  A great deal of creativity went into some of those costumes. The Barbie one was one of my favourites too.

Drunk people in fancy dress? Any excuse to get sloshed, I suppose. Same over here, festivals and holidays, just being used as an excuse to show off your drinking problem.

  That's a little harsh Nancy - everyone was having a great time.

    Wasn't meant to be. Sorry, Tom.
    
    I'm afraid this non-drinker believes drunks are only "fun" to other drinkers (sober or otherwise)...plus, I've lost two friends to people driving home after having "fun," so I'm afraid I'm not ever going to be a hail-fellow-and-well-met person, when it comes to being around drunks.

  Hi, you are welcome. I post pictures every day, but unfortunately I don't always get to go to such a photogenic event!

And for anyone wanting to print some out, Bonusprint are doing a free photobook (well, £2.50 P&) if you order by midnight on Sunday 5th July 2009.
http://www.bonusprint.co.uk/pages/newsletter_special_offer.htm?level=2
It's A5, 30 pages or so, I've done loads of them - well worth a punt for £2.50
If you missed it, just get on their mailing list and they do the offer every couple of months.

Anyway, thanks for the pics - Bruno! (NOT featured in your pics!)
