Citizens of the small town of High Springs were surely entertained when 3 crazy girls skipped down Main Street. Why you may ask? The girls were none other than a trio of cosplay-holic cousins dressed up as Shrek, Princess Fiona and Gingy "Do you know the muffin man?" Gingerbread Man. The girls had previously made an appearance as the beloved Shrek characters at High Spring's historic Priest Theatre and were then asked by the owner to come back to the next showing of Shrek 2. The girls did, but were almost attacked by a hyperactive blonde little girl (who kept pulling on Gingy's gum drop buttons, lifting up Fiona's skirt and asking Shrek where did he leave Donkey at). The girls ditched the theatre minutes after the movie started and decided to take on the streets instead!
"I thought, maybe some hillbilly on a truck will shoot us with his rifle, but let's do it anyway", confessed Mayleen, the leader of the pack, "but people reacted in such a positive way! We got smiles, hand waves, hoots, thumbs up, honking car horns as a nice reward and even a guy who was putting gas on his car asked us to take our picture!"
To some people these girls might have acted like crazy nerds...but to them it was just another unusually usual fun way to break from the boredom that threatens to slip into their lives. Like I always say: "Why be normal?"
