No kidding Laurie. Anton has been one of the most helpful people here. I don't always agree with him, but I definitely trust his judgement on things like this. I have seen gypsies wearing that type of costume right smack dab in the middle of Downtown Crossing Boston. They come every year and hit all the major pedestrian shopping traffic spots to perform. They perform traditional music, and dancing while other family members work the crowd for donations and sell CDs or roses.
