Memories from Wiggle 15…from a simpler, less dramatic time of life

As a precursor to tomorrow`s Xtra Xposed, I give you the fine eye of Brandon Gaukel, fellow Xtra contributer, man-about-town and general genius of the photographic variety. Lest ye forget, Wiggle is one of Vancouver`s largest celebrations of guerilla couture. On July 15th, I may or may not have sported a ginormous condo tower as a hat and donned red sparkly ladies` underwear to razzle dazzle a capacity crowd.

Let`s face it. It`s Thursday. A photo series is about all I can take at this point. Just relaxicate your mind and enjoy.
