I know I am the last person who should throw stones, but the cynical/sarcastic inner child can't help thinking the following......
No mexican wannabe boy band is complete without a euphonium player....
Land of enchantment and wonder is the literal translation of the theme this year. In reality it seems to be a lot of pirates and badly stuck on glitter. Or for some reason short robes - sort of jesuit/Spanish inquisition monk meets dressing gown. Or 1970s Dr Who amphibious villains.....
Drugs are allegedly cheap and widely available in Mexico. This could account for a lot of float design. Or maybe it's the fantasy after all, but I'm sceptical....
Tortilla-fed mexican girls dancing can be energetic. Make sure your truck float suspension is up to the job. Or make them dance behind the float...
Still, beats the hell out of Chelmsford carnival.....and not a white shoe in sight
We walked past all the floats in daylight earlier and they did actually look much better and well made in daylight than they did under streetlights. Experience of nightclubs makes me think the same may not be true of some of the performers.
