Carnival comes to Provincetown

For a last gasp of summer fun, I give you Carnival in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Well-known for outrageous costumes and floats, this parade is one of the highlights of the summer season in this small town at the very end of Cape Cod. The theme changes every year and this one was Gods and Goddesses, though I am not

sure where this gingham lady fits in with that motif. I particularly like her pink elephant necklace and the coordinated hair bow, sunglasses and dress. You can find more flamboyantly dressed carnival paraders and photographs of other celebrations here.
