I found a link with not only the Mme Bay doppelganger but a video of her song!<br /><br />http://www.eurovision.tv/event/artistdetail?song=24993&event=1503<br /><br />At first glance of those photos, I thought it might have been a contest to make the world's longest baguette! No doubt those Iowans were expecting a more Disneyfied version of France. Wonder what they would have made of our long-gone Toadfish Tournament here on Hilton Head, complete with the crowning of Miss Toadfish herself!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-90104260987754231252010-05-30T22:41:49.858+02:002010-05-30T22:41:49.858+02:00Hmmm.

Take an(apparently huge) tree, foliage and all, and a bunch of fellows to carry said tree.Add to that the females all giving encouragement and directions. While all partake enthusiastically of wine. All day. Stir in a holiday that calls for wandering all the streets with this tree. What are the odds that anything could possibly go awry?? Oh man. What a laugh you gave me today painting that picture!

Such revelry can only be one-upped by Mardis Gras in New Orleans, I suspect, and perhaps the couple from Iowa had experienced that French/Southern debauchery first hand as well. No wonder they were apprehensive! <br /><br />Madame Bay, unbeknownst to her, is gathering quite a following. Perhaps you can sneak a picture of her - from a respectable distance and of her good side, of course - into your blog sometime. I would love to see one of her hats.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-52761908391827413712010-05-30T14:48:18.928+02:002010-05-30T14:48:18.928+02:00What an weird/cool event!
