I am in hungary trying to figure out why people come to mow how much every year dressed as these things. These mosques are the most important feature of a blue show that have made and it takes about 14 hours to craft just walk each is completely unique and tourists pay several hundreds of euros to take them home as souvenirs. So gullible you make these fantastic knots can you tell us a bit about the story behind these masks and why people whether it be lucy show me yeah if it meant to scare winter away making way for spring again. Its an old tradition which has been part of the local culture for ages and me. In order to fully understand this custom im turning into a blue show taking part in sundays big parade i was 1700 bushels congregate here in march accompanied by young women in traditional outfits that organized into 66 groups minus cold drizzle of the merry blue shows. Ive always wanted a moustache like this you know dreams do really come true. The rest of the traditional outfit consists of colorful knitted. These leather shoes with leather straps. And a gigantic pair of trousers. The most important thing is your mask so that no one can tell you why. Very peacefully.

But being a scary seems to require some practice and experience. Once the sun sets everyone gathers around the shoot bonfire at the main square some bushes use the chance for a hellish dance but im tired after a long day. This is the end for me as a blues show its been a long and tiring day i think this tradition has so many different meanings are so many different interests to me.
