Quelle Surprise!

Marie Antoinette at the corner of Yonge and Dundas (Toronto's very own Babylon 5: "the home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers").

Marie, otherwise known as Kate Mior (her name and website address is posted on the box she is standing on), is quite amazing to watch. I have a lovely photo of her taking a coffee break, but I prefer this one because of her expression (I think she saw me - I was standing across the street), and the expressions (or lack there of) of the passersby.
Of course Mari Antoinette is standing on a box...on the corner...just hanging out. I love her expression, great street shot!

Good catch! Love her costume, and people's expressions are funny; like she made them do a double-take.

It appears she's looking right at you. This is a great street capture!

The guy on the left is somewhat interesting too. Marie is superb! I wonder how many hours it takes for her to get her regalia together!

She is wonderful. Such dedication to the character. I have always marvelled at street performers. Lovely in b & w & showing the street context.

Fabulous shot! Framed it I guess, then waited for the moment - and you got it spot on! Super street shot ... great pose from Marie which in itself would make a good photo... plenty of contrasting action going on all around ... the clothes shop as backdrop... great humour. Love it! A must for a Fav!

I thought the box was in front and the trainered foot to her left belonged to her. Doh!! No she is not this incredibly tall woman...sorry it's late in the evening and takes me a mo to get my eye in...great shot :o) xx
