Working Hard for a Living

Yeah, Buskerfest!!! It was fun. I'm a super nerd, I love festivals in general but Buskingfest may be my favourite. I'm intrigued by buskers. It's an 'it' factor about them, some can do very little in their time slot and still manage to completely entertain, while others can tightrope on dental floss but, without personality, we walk on by. And their lifestyle is so random; travelling everywhere, living out of a suitcase that contains mostly props for their show and no clean clothes, fake accents...hmmmm... I always wonder if they pay taxes... not likely.

Some pics....

Delicious. Diet Coke and a strawberry elephant ear...

Skateboard tricks through a flaming star. Serious Skillz.

Matt, in slow motion, high-fiving the pretty statuette lady. He was very proud of that.

I know this is a fuzzy photo but I had to share. That's a busker on the right with a squash racket around his body. He could pop pretty much every joint and he put his body through a squash racket, a tennis racket and a toilet seat...simultaneously.

Sequined top? thrifted
High waisted denim shorts? Lux, Urban Outfitters
Strappy sandals? Random beach store
Purple leather purse? Hype, Winners
Earrings and sunglasses? h&m

Bangle? Goodwill auction

Addiction? chapstick

Though you can't see it in the photos ( :( ) the sequined top has little cut-ups at the sides of the body and the sleeves; it reveals a little bit of skin in a subtle way. I like that. I also like that it's silk and it's quality. Most of my non-vintage sequined pieces (esp. fcuk) drop sequins like Paris Hilton drops BFFs, not this one...
