The Magnificent Venetian
Peacock and Peahen!
All
the trim on both costumes
was sewn on by hand.
The peacock was in earnest,
strutting about under glamorous
stage lights, wooing the girl
of his dreams with a duck call!
Here is Giuseppe,
in full courtship
display!
It would appear the
female of the species, despite her 'drab' colors,
is just as
vain as the male!
Too glam for words!
