Ok so a while back i got a furisode, a nice long and pretty one... the sleeves are around 110 cm long! So here is a pic of my most expensive kimono!
In other news, there are two events this Saturday! The first is something yearly, it is called the hairy man festival. this festival has food, local shop sellers, games and even a few rides. The reason for this festival is mainly due to a legend.
here is the legend, i got it from: http://www.texastripper.com/round-rock/hairy-man.html
The legend of Round Rock's Hairy Man dates to pioneer days. Various versions of the local legend say a young boy either fell off a wagon as pioneers headed west or was separated from them by flood waters. However it happened, the boy then either lived on his own in the woods or was raised by local animals. Eventually the boy grew into a man and became a hermit and, well, very hairy.
The story says the hairy man frequently tried to chase away strangers and would hide in the trees to scare passers by, sometimes sitting up in the tree canopy which grew over the road, dragging his feet on the top of passing stagecoaches. One day, he supposedly fell in front of a stagecoach and was trampled to death, doomed to haunt the shady road to this day.
Well that is the legend... and so almost every year we celebrate. there is even a hairy man contest!
The second event is the Austin Teen book festival. I will leave the house at 9:00 am and head over to a friends house so we can go and have fun! And of course... i will be going in kimono. I think i will go in my bunny yukata (the true last yukata wearing of the year for me) and i hope to have a lot of fun (when else can i wear a kimono?).
well that's all folks!
