Faces in a Crowd 6 (finale)

OK, the return of the blonde pirate chick... plus an overlay (layering?) of a parade float, its beaded, costumed riders, and the crowd. Just messin' with picasa stuff to see if this one image can catch the whole party spirit in a single blended look...

It's Gasparilla, Tampa's version of Mardi Gras. This year's events just took place several weeks ago. Gasparilla commemorates a mostly-storied pirate invasion of Tampa Bay. Any excuse to celebrate, there are parades, parties, and at times even wildness. People dress up in all sorts of costumes as they stroll along the parade route, in various stages of partying spirit.
