I've never been to the Appleby Fair, but I've read quite a lot about it, having been aware for many years of the wetlook interest. The three days are apparently the biggest event of the year for many in the gypsy community, and it includes dances and other social events as well as the horse sales and races. The girls are no doubt dressed up for the social events - though of course they will also be aware that they will be 'on show' to the many spectators.
I have several times encountered Asian peoples swimming in the clothes they originally put on for some formal event, just because they fancied a swim before or after. The boxer Tyson Fury is a gypsy, and I read an interview with him recently in which he said that his own gypsy culture is so different from mainstream British culture that they are "like a different race". It seems likely that their attitude to clothes and water is more similar to that of the Asian races than to our Western one. Certainly many years ago I encountered a gypsy beach baptism, when they were dressed as they would for going to church in suits, dresses and so on, but that didn't deter them all from wading into the sea up to their hips to closely witness the event. |

By lover of female wetlook - nc-schraehe@netcologne.de Mon 04/07/16 01:54:28 GMT Wow, some of these ladies are really well dressed for a ride through the water! Obviously they have fun getting wet on their horses. Have you noticed, that two of them wear black leather hotpants? :-) |

By jollywetfellow - Sun 03/07/16 21:03:39 GMT Thanks for the reminder - I had been meaning to check whether Keri Hambly had put up his collection yet for this year. He has: https://www.flickr.com/photos/keri72/albums/72157669178562660 |

By jollywetfellow - Sun 03/07/16 20:57:55 GMT The bit in the river is not really a "show", its 'just' people washing the horses before putting them on sale.
