Modeling Gretchen’s hats in the New York City Easter Parade every year has been one of the greatest honors of my life, so much so that Easter is now by far my favorite holiday! Tourists and press photographers come from far and wide to capture the spectacle of stylish, inventive people promenading up and down Fifth Avenue in extraordinary headwear.
As I parade with Gretchen and her friends, people from all over the globe gather around me and tell me how beautiful I am. They ask to take their picture with me. The look in their eyes is all admiration and wonder, but the very next day I would be unlikely to turn their heads at all. That’s the power of a Gretchen Fenston hat.
It’s a real ego boost! As Easter Sunday comes to a close, the high begins to wear off, but one driving question remains…
Whatever will I wear next year!?
Wow! The vivacious visual of you in fabulous fuchsia! Knocked my socks off..and your hot hot hot heels……in one of my most favorite shots that David DeNee captured — the one of you in the center flanked by Patricia and Tatyana also both looking sensational and the three headpieces are all stunning! Delicious photos David! And what great Easter coverage Sarah….worth the wait! Special mention -Gretchen Fenston in swoon-worthy ensemble and the girl with the chessboard clutch and ingenious outfit! Props! Amy looking smashing in colorblocking linen heaven and Tatyana’s hearts stockings/tights….wickedly fun!!!! Is all in the details and I keep finding juicy new discoveries when I revisit the photos….
Wowza! You are a stunner in that pink ensemble and oh, oh, oh- those hats! They are all amazing!
(heehee! What a cute little chess piece though too!)
What fabulous outfits! So jealous.
