Pasadena Chalk Festival highlights

Posted on 15. Jun, 2008 by kchristieh in art, local news, my life

No Father’s Day is complete without a visit to the annual Pasadena Chalk Festival. I’d thought we were going to miss it, but then my husband chose to go to Paseo Colorado for his Father’s Day dinner. Here are a few highlights:

Of course we liked the drawing of Barack Obama.

No chalk festival is complete without a Diego Rivera. I bet Rivera would have loved this festival.

It’s no wonder people love peacocks so much: they’re beautiful! Too bad they’re so loud and have such prolific excretory tracts. Also, it’s only the peacocks that are so pretty, not the peahens.

I really liked this one. It works well in chalk.

This one reminds me of Penelope Cruz in Volver. We saw it the other night, and loved it. We loved the strange, fantastic storyline, and Penelope Cruz is amazing in her native language. The Spanish in this movie was much faster than it was in Pan’s Labyrinth. Thank goodness for the subtitles. Of course, it would also help if I spoke Spanish instead of French.

After we left dinner at Islands, my daughter said she’d probably be pretty happy and relaxed living in Hawaii. I would too. It’s just too bad it’s so far from my relatives. I wish I lived on a beach like this one. Sometime I’ll need to visit Patti and Sheree!!

My daughter loved this one. If she had blue eyes, she’d kind of look like this. Except, I don’t think she could look so mean without laughing.

Here’s why we rushed out of the chalk festival. My husband was pretty antsy to get home and watch the Laker game. The Lakers just won, so I guess it was worth it.
