Drewcilla Rides Again

I'd like to introduce you to Drewcilla.

Every October 1st Drewcilla gets hoisted

up on an 18 foot pole and she rides her

bicycle during the evening hours to the

joy (and sometimes trembling) of all of the

neighborhood kids.

Drewcilla is not a particularly attractive woman.

But she does have a feminine side and she really wanted

a makeover this year to show her more feminine and

sassy side.

She was wearing a green wool blazer with a spider

web cape and a black lace ruffled skirt.

She felt that all of the dark colors didn't show

off well in the dark of night and were drab.

We removed the drab blazer and underneath

she was sporting a layered look with a

lime green turtleneck and orange satiny

blouse.

Going with this color scheme we added a shiny

new orange metallic cape, a purple vest

And a flowing multi fabric overskirt in coordinating

colors of lime green, orange and purple.

The purple and black stockings were new last

year,

As well as her stunning purple feathered hat.

She has a big smile on her face as she

received her wardrobe makeover.

She asked for an "extreme makeover" but

it just wasn't in the family budget.

Here I am giving her one final hug before she

gets hoisted up for her month long ride.

Don't be afraid Drewcilla, you have been doing

this for years and years now.

Drew (on the left) is actually her creator.  He is a family

friend and employee.  He had created a similar bicycling

witch and when my husband saw her, he just had to have

Drew make him one.  His buddy Wayne always comes

to help set her up and take her down at the end of the

month.

It is quite a chore to get her up on top of her pole.

Here she is all up and pedaling,

And enjoying the blue hour.

She gives tons of entertainment.  People come from

miles around to see her pedal in the night sky.  She

told me she would like some music to pedal to,

something like that music the witch rides her bike

to on the Wizard of Oz.  Maybe next year Drewcilla!

I will be posting this on

Just Something I Whipped Up Monday

and

Metamosphosis Monday.
