DUMBO Art Festival

Preparation: gowns, shoes, bling, rouge
Photos taken by Auj
Starbucks--- lots of onlookers.... and I am uncomfortable with being in the center of attention

My first time in Brooklyn, I stripped down to leggings and a cami on the sidewalk at 9:15 pm. We tied helium-filled balloons to ourselves while inside of a Starbucks. I walked around in a group where the girls wore self-made garbage bag gowns (biodegradable--- the whole outfit sans shoes). We had our photo taken numerous times and our presence made folks smile. I went to an after-party and talked with other artists participating in the Festival. I had a great first time in Brooklyn.

People asked to feel the fabric and were surprised it was plastic

Afterparty at Rice... Alisha, Jose', Kristina, Moira, and a multitude of other people having a good time

Being photographed
