"Below is a picture of some young ladies wearing hooped pettis similar to
some The Pond has posted before and the legend that was with the picture."
5/24/99: Hoop skirted Lodi High
student Kalena Schock shows her exhaustion by throwing her head back & sticking
her tongue out after practicing the flower girl routine in the hot sun for Lodi
High graduation ceremony at the Grape Bowl.
This year, I
once again shot the Lodi HS graduation, and the elegant tradition remains. It
reminded me of 1999 when I shot a flower girl rehearsal
a few days before
graduation. It was a stifling hot day, with the half-bowl shape of the Grape
Bowl blocking whatever little wind there was that day.
To help fend off the
midday heat, the girls were allowed to wear tank tops and t-shirts but still
had to wear the hoops. Finally the heat got
to be too much for one girl who
threw her head back and stuck out her tongue in exhaustion. Not very
graceful I suppose, but better to do it during
rehearsal than at the actual
event.

Mike F. sends this interesting sight:
Could be a hoopskirt
or a hoop worn as a
skirt. We
think |
 |
panniers...
