As part of Sue’s upcoming virtual retirement party, she is hosting a hat making contest and asking people to submit a photo of their entry. While I’m usually not keen on costumes and dress up, I decided to go for the gold in submitting my Carmen Miranda inspired entry.
I submit for your consideration exhibit A, the original stock photo that served as the basis for this fraudulent entry: https://depositphotos.com/113884710/stock-photo-woman-in-african-style-with.html. Any fool can see that these two photos are one and the same, only the face is changed.
Um no, these two photos aren’t at all the same. Love the hat, though.
Actually, Mr. C, I think that Concerned Cascadian was expressing skepticism as to the genuiness of this contest entry. It looks suspiciously fake to me.
Oh no, I totally buy it as 100% real.
Thanks Cascadian for the vote of confidence. And Citizen for truth in advertising, that clearly isn’t your real name, so why should anyone believe you? As for the genuineness of this image, clearly it is a real photo and not a facsimile, or artist’s sketch of a photo, or poetic interpretation of a photo. And, as for the person in the photo, anyone who knows me will tell you that’s me.
Wow this is a great outfit. I just can’t believe that this is for real. That’s crazy awesome.
Yes. As you can imagine, arranging the parrots, a professional photographer and a tropical location is, perhaps, going a bit overboard. But then, Sue only retires once, so I thought I would go all out for the hat contest. Glad you like it.
