Hats the idea!
Easter “bonnets” were in full bloom in Tompkins Square Park on Sunday.

People wearing creative caps, wigs and various head ornaments first gathered at the park’s Temperance Fountain.
The party later gravitated to a hippie-styled bus parked at Avenue B and E. Ninth St. where a makeshift runway was created.

Sing Out, Louise!, a “resistance queertet” that performs satirical songs to popular melodies, also made the Easter bonnet scene.
It wasn’t immediately clear who organized the event, but it’s a good bet it was Lucky’s Bar and the same folks who led the Mermaid Parade event in the park last fall.
