Hotel 3 (23/07/1999) 
Marie Giggles in the swimThere are people all around the pool and just out of the picture on the right was a small bar. The first picture we took didn't look right and as we were taking the next one a man swam right up behind Marie to watch! We took the picture anyway and we love how it turned out.

Marie Giggles weighs inWe were on our way to New Orleans from Florida on Interstate 10. Hubby wanted a sign picture that would be recognizable and easy to see. The hi-way was very crowded with cars and trucks so even though we tried for a picture at the Florida State sign and the Alabama State sign we had no luck. Finally at the Mississippi sign I said "its here or no where. Get the camera ready and I'll try a topless shot". When he pulled the Suburban on the shoulder and I got out I looked at all the traffic coming at me and almost chickened out. There was a state truck scale just ahead of us in plain sight and I was sure a state trooper was going to come arrest me! Hubby was yelling to hurry so I said what the hey and started pulling off my top. The trucks slowing up for the scale immediately started blowing their horns and I pulled the top completely off. Hubby missed the shot! He screamed just one more! and I stood there while everybody going past stared at me. Finally he said he had the picture and I ran for the truck without even putting on my top. We peeled rubber off the side of the road and I watched the scale to see if a police car came after us. The excitement we both felt was why we enjoy flashing!

Marie goes to marketThis was taken at the French Market which is a large produce and flea market that is open on Saturdays. It is very public and crowded with people. We were trying for a full nude picture but it just wasn't to be. Finally we got a shot at a real flash and we took it. I must say that once we got into the mindset of the French Quarter and New Orleans it was much easier to flash. Nudity is common there and no one makes a big deal over it. We were caught flashing many times and no one cared. They would just laugh and wave and go on their way. We will have a funny story about a policeman in the Quarter when we submit some of our other photos. Marie Giggles Back to page content InStore 2 (12/08/1999) 
Marie Giggles and a shaky hubbyThis picture is a little blurry but hubby says he couldn't help it. As you can see by the picture it was in a little shop full of people and it happened in an instant. We didn't plan it so I didn't warn him it was coming. Hubby barely had time to pull up the camera and snap a picture and it was over! Thats why its a little blurry but as you can see, its a real flash picture. Marie Giggles Back to page content Street 1 (13/08/1999) 
Marie Giggles gets a flashy maskThis picture was taken in the French Quarter right on Bourbon Street in front of Lafette's Blacksmith shop. We were taking a tour of the quarter in a carriage when we spotted this photo opportunity. Hubby and Banjo stayed in the carriage while I went across the street to get ready for the photo. Just as I took off my dress, Willy the carriage driver said here comes a police car! I was right out in the open and had no time to put my dress back on so I just leaned back against the building and crossed my arms to hold my dress up in front of me. The police car drove by slowly and didn't stop! After he went by and my heart slowed down we got the picture as you see it. I walked over to the carriage and put my dress back on and from the other direction (coming right toward the carriage) came the same policeman! He had just gone around the block to see what we were up to! As he passed he said over his public address system "Next time try to keep your clothes on" and he giggled. Thats the French Quarter.

Marie and Banjo, joint postingThis picture is also just a little bit blurry. It also had to be taken very quickly. You can tell that it is Banjo and Marie mailing a letter. However they are not outside at a mailbox. They are right inside the main post office with the main lobby right behind them! We couldn't see the parking lot so we had no idea if someone was coming and we couldn't see around the corner into the lobby to see if anyone was there. Talk about scarey!!!! We did manage to get the picture (even if it is a little blurry) and also a memory we will remember a long time. Marie Giggles and Banjo Back to page content Music 1 (31/08/1999) 
Marie Giggles and Banjo beat to a different tuneHi guys.... It turns out that Banjo's nickname is very well deserved. Besides being known in the New Orleans area for his music he has also performed in clubs throughout Europe. He also has a passion for restoring and playing older collectable instruments. This picture was taken in front of his house near the road. Marie is helping keep time as Banjo demonstrates his proficiency, not only picking Blugrass and chromatic, but also old fashioned drop-thumb style, too. He is playing his recently restored 1930 Vega Tube-A-Fone 5 string banjo. Just another interesting side of a member of the Dare To Bare Gang!

Marie G. grows her hair back in a day!We were playing handball at a local park and it started to cloud up and look like rain. Most of the other people started to leave but Marie was practicing jump shots. 
She complained about the humidity so I said well take off your top and see if that is
any cooler. One thing led to another and you can see by the pictures how far she went.Marie G. and Hubby Back to page content Marie G & Hubby. |
