Walk on Woodburn Mardi Gras style
These Walk on Woodburn events have been gaining more and more traction over the last year. The first one I went to I wondered where all the people were. No more, there's been a good crowd at the recent events. Of course, Mardi Gras, who doesn't like music and costumes?
Walnut Hills seems to be nearing a critical mass of people, its going to be exciting to watch what happens this year. Walnut Hills reminds me of OTR about 3 years ago, an OTR with more kids and less tattoos.
One thing I wondered about, the Village of Woodburn, never heard that before. Did that always exist and I somehow missed it or is that branding?
Either way, a fun night of running into old friends and making some new ones.
Walked around for awhile with Dave and Amanda of Hinge, they were gushing about how awesome Parlour is. Yeah, but talking to me about hair styling is like talking art to a blind guy.
The Models donned custom creations by Hi-Bred and Black Rabbit.
The Forealism Tribe, they've got some tiny fans.
And while we're on the subject of Mardi Gras, be sure to attend the 10th Annual Mardi Gras at Findlay Market this Sunday March 2nd starting at 10am. They'll be crowning your favorite photo blogger the Mardi Gras King and Bryn Mooth the Mardi Gras Queen

The original name of the area was the "Village of Woodburn" like way back in the mid 1800's. So, I think some people in the area are kinda trying to revive the phrase.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, Casey Coston also point me to this on Soapbox
Delete"... the meteoric rise and fall of the Village of Woodburn--prior to 1864 it was known as East Walnut Hills, after which it then experienced a short shelf life of just seven years before falling to the Cincinnati annex machine (and reverting back to East Walnut Hills) in 1873 (and no…no, despite its ersatz “Old West outpost” appearance, The Schulhoff Tool Corral/Rental did not come into being until 1935). Alas, poor Woodburn, we hardly knew ye."
Glad that you came down and enjoyed yourself. A lot of your photos were taken at Black Rabbit Salon, which my wife, Aubrey and I owm. The band, Hot Magnolias and all of the enthusiastic people made the event so much fun! I'm hopeful that the area will continue to thrive!
