Elf Fantasy Fair
Sunday, April
26th 2009
Haarzuilens, The
Netherlands
This years fair
seemed to have less traditional witches and wizzards, while there were more
steam punks and gothic lolitas. The number of goths was large as usual. Less Harry
Potter, more Japanese manga.
Castle De Haar in
Haarzuilens – the castle is a romantic reconstruction. In the gardens of the
castle the fair takes place every year…
The prettiest
fairy around…
A lot of free
hugs offered this year
It was a bit
rainy in the morning, so this poor girl’s pretty dress got all soaked

I played ‘mouse

Great costume!
