Two Stops Out From The Bus Station On a Journey Home I Saw a Party Of Ladies, All In Very Colourful Fancy Dress, In The City Centre Near To The Adelphi Hotel @ 16.00 approx' ~

An Opportunity Missed I Thought, But As The Bus Route Takes a ' U ' Shaped Loop After Stopping Twice, I Spotted Them Again and Couldn' t Resist Getting Off At The Next Bus Stop ~

They Were Great, Posed For a Number Of Shots, Which I Have Since E-Mailed To One Of The Party ~

Thirteen Other Photo' s Taken Can Be Found ~http://www.flickr.com/photos/kap_n_kaos_too/sets/72157624455740939/

They Were Out On a Double Birthday Celebration ~ One was Forty Two and The Other Was Forty Plus and I Was Invited To a Have a Drink With Them, But, Alas, Being Teetotal (Hic) I Had To Decline ~ I Had a Date With a White Rabbit Called ' Harvey ' !

I Do Hope That Those Who Know Me, Know What The Title Should Really Be ?

Part Of The Paraiso School Of Samba ~ London ~

Paraíso School Of Samba Is The Only Organisation In The UK Whose Artistic Direction Is By Artists Who Grew Up In The Rio de Janeiro Samba Community And Which Closely Follows The Authentic Brazilian School Of Samba Structure And Objectives !

(the individuals dress role is yet to be researched 20-07-2010)

(27-07-2010) ~The main function of Flag Bearer - Porta-Bandeira is to present to the crowd, judges and press, the Samba Schools Flag. Every Samba-School has a distinctive flag and color !

During a Carnival Parade the Porta-Bandeira waves and swirl the banner unfurling it in graceful gestures and reverence, while the Mestre- Sala offers his protection !

The couple do not dance samba but lead with grace and lightness the flag, rapidly spinning around each other in systematic swirls and paces combined with casual and elegant gestures !

Also, during the parade, she kisses the Samba School Flag, in a sign of respect and pride !

" What's Going On Here Then ? "

For the Lord Mayors Pageant the theme this year was ' Health and Wellbeing ' which meant all aspects of the pageant in Liverpool City Centre on June 5th was for a much healthier emphasis on lifestyles as hundreds took to the streets for a vibrant and colourful pageant with a difference !

13-06-2010 (Still no PC, be using my Lil' Sis's when I visit her every couple of days to either upload or comment, no time for both)

There wasn’t a petrol powered vehicle in sight – everything was to be run by foot, solar, battery or pedal power making this the most environmentally and fitness friendly Lord Mayors Pageant ever !

The parade made its way through the city centre on a loop circuit for about 100mins and the delightful dancers never stopped once despite it being an extremely hot day, a pleasant change to last year when it rained non stop during the pageant !
