This guy blows bubbles with a net draped between two large sticks.  He also makes bubbles with a long cord tied to two long sticks.  Really big, beautiful  bubbles!  His dog circles the crowd wearing short shorts and collects dollar bills.

 

Key West isn’t known for surfing because we don’t have big waves. However, what little wave action we do have is enough for some. Click on it to see the full size.

Friday & Saturday Nights and Fantasy Fest 2009 is really rockin’ out there.  All kinds of creative costumes in the street, everyone’s having a great time.  The American Gladiators were some of my favorites…it looks like some body builders really chose the right costumes.  I love Fantasy Fest!

 

The 2009 Fantasy Fest Pet Masquerade was at Casa Marina, the best spot in the world for such an event.  The setting sun, the beachside stage, the droopy palm trees over comfy lounge chairs, what an improvement over two years ago, at the Westin  near Mallory Square. 

As always, the Pet Masquerade brings out some of best creativity of Fantasy Fest, and more locals of course.  The Fantasy Fest theme: “Vixens, Villains, and Vampires” inspired a Cruella D’Evil costume, complete with cigarrette filter and feather boa.  Great Costume! 

The “Skunkadoodles” were great, too.  Then there was “Shi*head”, a dog whose everyday pet stroller had been converted into a toilet bowl.  We could only find one cat, the jailbird cat at 1:52.
