Llama fashions of 2011

August 7, 2011

There were llamas of all stripes at Friday night’s Indiana State Fair costume contest.

For starters, our contestants included a zombie, vampire, pirate, Christmas tree and Easter egg. Characters included Nancy Drew, the Pumpkin King, the Cat in the Hat, Princess Peach with her Super Mario llama and a tribute to Lucille Ball. Laundry llama brought in a first-place ribbon, as did a princess with her unicorn/Pegasus llama.

This princess with her unicorn/Pegasus claimed a first-place ribbon.

The premise of the contest is that the llamas don’t really like wearing clothes. So, the more coverage with the costume, the better. More coverage on the head and legs seems to score well, too.

This year’s competitors seemed more content in their outfits than in years past. Only a few items fell off while on parade, and only one fellow took his clothes off completely. While several found the spotlight the perfect time to do their business, one decided it was break time and only reluctantly left the ring.

It was sad to go to this year’s contest without Jocelyn, but a million thanks to her for introducing me to this in the first place.
