333--Florida: Key West, You Can't Stop Fantasy Fest @ CherieSpotting     Nov 07 2005 - 12:50 PST cherie writes: Wilma bathed the Florida Keys with hurricane-force winds, but the most devastating damage resulted from the storm surge. A 6-ft storm surge engulfed Key West from the Atlantic while another 6-ft storm surge hit from the Gulf. The storm surge swallowed bridges, closed roads, and left residents with no other option but to canoe down the street. Key West’s biggest event of the year—Fantasy Fest—was postponed until December. But dedicated party-goers (like us) wanted to give Key West what they needed most in their time of crisis—tourist dollars. The spirit of the local Conchs couldn’t be swayed. Hundreds of costume-clad revelers flooded the city and celebrated their own “pre-Fantasy Fest”, parading down the debris-soaked streets dressed as geeks and freaks.

The police block off the popular Duval Street. Don't mess with a girl with a bone in her hair. Don't they know I came all the way from Bedrock to celebrate Fantasy Fest? If they knew what was good for them, they'd listen to Lisa. Brian makes a wish. He wishes the police would find something better to do than block the parade route. You can't tell these Wilmas where to go! Your wish is their command. A kiss from the bride brings good luck! The parade makes a turn and continues on. If things got rowdy, we were going to bust out Super Chicken! My Tarzan, your lips are so supple and moist. Candy comes in a rainbow of flavors. You look fabulous darling. Can you tell which one is wearing the sassy pants? Cowboy Greg. How could you even consider arresting the happy orange pumpkin guy? Tribal chicks. With all those feathers, you'd think they could fly. Crazy ladies in Key West. Who is that masked woman? Little devils. Diane says blondes have more fun (but only on Halloween!) Red heads unite! Brian finds an abandoned leg in the trash. This accessory gives Brian a leg-up on the competition in the costume contest. Nice leg. Just a couple of guys having a couple of beers. Theo and Diane take a night off from their Key West coffee business. Brian meets new friends now that he has 3 legs. The plastic butts experience an immediate attraction. What did she do to get all those beads? Ladies in red. Theo and Diane. The Conchs in Key West know how to party. This blushing bride wanted to make sure he was a "real" Scotsman. Only she knows the truth. Cherie and Lisa meet the geisha girls. Tell me...where did you get that outfit? The giggling geisha girls. Lisa! No more sushi for her! Watch out for some authentic Asian persuasion. Watch your hand! My you have big muscles. Never trust a farmer with inflatable sheep. What do you do if you have both an angel and a devil on your lap? Lisa, Diane and Cherie. Theo as Peter Pan. (He's not gay, he's Dutch.) Another night at the bar. Hello Mr. Caveman. A flamingo tries to mate with Diane's boa. Is he over-dressed or under-dressed? The meeting of the boas. Cherie and Brian. Brian, Kathie and the butt. Theo and Diane. Just one more drink. Dave and Diane. The secret to keeping a figure that like that...plenty of carbs!
