Stilt-Related Imagery
Calvin rocks!
I really love this image of African stiltwalker dolls... at least, I think they're dolls. I clipped it out of a magazine decades ago.
My darling daughter drew this picture of me in 1990. It's still one of my faves.
SMOOCH!
Olivia rocks, too!
The photo above and below are the same guy. You can tell by the shoes.
Little Lulu rocks, too!

That's me in the middle. This photo was both on the cover and inside Cooperative Grocer magazine issue #131 July-August 2007. River Valley Market is a member-owner food cooperative that opened in Northampton MA in April 2008. I'm on the RVM Outreach Committee. I was actually taking a break, sitting on the bucket of the backhoe when everyone gathered around in front of me. They made me stand up for the photo. I discovered afterwards that despite the fact that I'd carefully checked where I was going to sit ahead of time, that I got grease all over the seat of my stilt pants. Some of the stains still haven't come out all the way. (If you have any suggestions on how to get them out, please email me.)
I love comics! But I don't remember where this is from. Lash-on stilts and a steadying pole so you can stand still: What a great idea! "He's human! Of course he's dangerous!"
That's me in the middle again. This was at the Williamsburg-Haydenville Business Association BBQ to benefit the Goshen Ambulance Fund in July 1991.
Another one I clipped out of a magazine years and years ago. Mardi Gras in the Caribbean!
Krazy Kat totally rocks!
Bread & Puppet, Glover VT
Another magazine clipping I just love! This guy is having so much fun! And so are his buddies in the background.
Dr. Seuss definitely rocks, too!
Rudi Wyrsch stiltskiing (!) at Mount Snow in the early 1970's.

That's me on the right leading the 1st Young Child Parade & Festival Parade in April 1991 in Northampton MA. Three incredible creative and resourceful women (one holding the banner) and I put together this incredible successful community event in about three weeks!
In May 2010, the Fryeburg New Church in Fryeburg ME held it's annual church picnic a mile down the road at the Fryeburg New Church Assembly. The church's choir leader, Greg Huang-Dale, did some stiltwalking for the group and then invited the parishioners to try them on. Here's Cindy Priestly getting up an the world.
