#117 Frilly

Certainly not frilly in the feminine sense, these men look warrior-like to me in their "fancy feathers" category costumes. Something about the man in black, red, and white that caught my attention. This costume has two bustles - neck and waist. It was an extraordinary display - even more powerful with the drumming and singing to keep everyone moving!

    Those costumes are amazing. I wonder how much they weigh and how they clean them.

    Extraordinary fancy feather costumes that make me wonder is they are authentic or a modern day impression of past costumes.

    Wonderful colors and vibrance in this image. I always enjoy demonstrations of Native American dancing.

    Impressive, must weigh a ton though, can't imagine moving around too much for too long while dressed in this.
