Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Gaudy.
I think it’s safe to say that Ailsa will never issue a challenge on the exact word that this costume inspires, so there’s no point in holding this photo back. Gaudy it is!

And we are going to have a sunny day (Saturday) after the snow! Should be fun. Thanks, Z!
Whoa!
Right reaction! ;-)
Priceless!
:-) :-)
damn. now THAT’s gaudy. ^^
It’s impressive, no matter what you call it, in any case :-)
That takes the cake for gaudy.
Thinking cake may be right…
Awww, she’s a pumpkin! How…uh…
Yup. Gaudy.
Don’t ask.
hahhaha
:-)
That takes guts – especially in the fashion capital of the USA!
It wasn’t Fashion Week, though…
I think you were right, and also kind, to post this under “gaudy”! You have certainly set the bar on this challenge.
Nobody will run a challenge under the word you are probably thinking of ;-)
It must have been windy?
I don’t think it was, though…
Orange is my favourite colour, such a happy and gaudy colour, love it…
Speaking of orange, at first I thought of pairing her with this photo
but then decided against it. The bird is more elegant than gaudy—as is she, to some extent, actually…
Wow what an amazing colour that bird is. What is it? I would say elegant but definately gaudy in an over the top way
I actually don’t know exactly what it is. It was in NYC’s Central Park Zoo but I failed to make a note of the exact identification. It looks like some kind of duck. But Googling “orange duck” bring up quite another sort of orange duck ;-)
Wow. Just wow!
Speechless for once, Ailsa? ;-) :-)
I know. It doesn’t happen a lot, Vlad. :)
Just as well, given that you have a photo challenge to run! It’s admirable how you manage to respond to everyone’s entry so aptly… :-)
What the heck? That’s absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the smile.
Yes, I really should file it under Humor…
Ya gotta wonder…
You do indeed!
What was she thinking?!!!!
I don’t think we really want to know…
Oh, yes, that sure fits the challenge word!
Good! :-)
The shoes TOTALLY make this look.
And the hat! A nice complementary green…
Wow- can’t wait to finally get back and find my own “gaudy one” : )
Go for it! It’s a whole world of gaudy out there if you look in the right places…
Las Vegas surely was. but I did knot have the challenge until Friday when I came home!
Wonder what it looks like in front…do we want to know?
Use your imagination! I didn’t see so I would have to do the same…
that’s hilarious
Yes, indeed! :-)
