Every year, right around July 4th, Wimberley has a big parade - not like Macy's-parade-big, but big for Wimberley - and anyone who wants to can enter. Me and the Muses, we want to. Only problem is, we're having some trouble coming up with just the right theme or idea. That's where you come in!
Outdoor Woman has the cutest little vintage VW bug (baby blue convertible) that she has volunteered as our "float." She drove it in the parade a couple of years ago, when some Aussie friends were here visiting, so their theme was "On Walkabout." Actually, I did come up with one idea (which I, personally, felt was quite brilliant, in light of recent events here in Wimberley). It was "Debbie Doo-Wop and The Morels!" I was, however, shot down, when it was brought to my attention that, due to the Morel's unfortunate shape and coloring, it would appear to most that Deb was driving a car full of male body parts.
So, now we are back to square one, and ready to bring in outside help. C'mon, I know you can do it - help us think of something great! Something fun! Something that will put a smile on everyone's face, and show visitors just what it means - to be "Livin' the Good Life" here in Wimberley!
P.S. We don't all have to be "in" the car. We can walk alongside it, and toss stuff to the crowds, if that would work better.

I liked your idea Becky so I just "built" on it!
Hill Country Hippies: Floppy hats, boas, beads---a la Janis.
Bluebonnet Belle and the Morels---Just stick a faux bluebonnet stalk on top!
The Frolicking Locavores: Fill the backseat with shovels, hoes, etc. Print out some faux jalapeno seed packets and fill with dried pepper seeds. (start collecting your seeds now!)
The Merry-making Muses: Wear toga-like gowns and laurel/cedar wreaths and shake some booty and tambourines!
Can't wait to hear other inspirations!
Great ideas!
