Chapter 254 Hippie and Halloween
But it is necessary to increase user stickiness.
Pentium computers are innovative in many aspects, but for some business users, they do not need to be upgraded at all, because sometimes all they need is a very simple word processing system.
The production capacity problem is no longer a problem for Catherine now. With the large-scale distribution of products and the company's various publicity and promotion methods, the company's turnover has begun to boom.
"Oh, okay."
Aniya wiped the sweat from her head, and then looked at the "artwork" she created with satisfaction.
"I really can't tell at all!"
Lyrela marveled at the side, and Aniya was even happier.
After Aniya finished it, Catherine came to the mirror and watched Aniya "put on makeup" on her.
Although it is painted, it looks like real clothes.
This is the "one piece suit" of "Wonder Woman". The upper part is red, but on the lower abdomen, there are dozens of stars like the American flag.
In addition to the upper body, the small legs are also painted to look like boots, but in fact Catherine only has a pair of artistic pointe shoes on her legs.
"Okay, so who's next?"
"Me! Me!" Lyrela looked like she wanted to give it a try.
Catherine shook her head beside her and put on her coat.
Today I have to accompany them for a "crazy" day.
Because today is October 31st - the eve of Halloween.
Halloween and All Hallows' Eve come from Catholicism's absorption, transformation and reinterpretation of festivals from other religions.
Halloween originated from the traditional festival of the British Celts. On the last day of October, they believed that it was the end of summer and the beginning of winter. This day is an important symbol of the year and one of the most important festivals.
It is said to be the "Ghost Festival" in the West.
All kinds of evil spirits are haunted on this day, and the souls of dead people will also leave their bodies and wander around the world. The night of this day is particularly dangerous. People will put food at the door to attract the ghost souls who have their owners, and in order to scare them away
Evil ghosts that the Celts would wear masks.
Maybe it's because everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, so Jenny and Lily asked if they could have a good time today - well, from Catherine's point of view, this was purely Lily's idea. Because it was impossible for the serious Jenny to propose
Go to the Halloween parade.
Catherine even returned to New York for the festival.
They are preparing for Halloween now.
"Kate, let me take some photos first!"
Catherine shook her head, and then she could only take off her coat again.
Lily picked up the camera awkwardly, and then took a few photos of Catherine.
Lily's movements were slow because she had already put on her own costume - a Dalmatian costume.
Lisa's "animal series" costumes have been selling very well these days, and many people regard them as Halloween costumes, just like Lily.
It's a pity that Lisa is still in Italy. She may not be able to come back before Christmas.
After taking the photo, Catherine put her coat on again.
At this time, Aniya was carefully applying makeup on Lyrela.
According to Lyreira's idea, Aniya painted Lyrela's body colorfully, just like a mi uniform.
"Put it on your face too!"
Lyrela was much more positive than Catherine, which made Catherine shake her head.
After everything was done, Lyreira put on a tight mi colored vest and mi colored hot pants, and finally put on a pair of boots, and then she was done.
"Anyone else?"
"I haven't yet!"
Ada put down the magazine she was reading and walked over.
Finally, Ada was painted to look like a tight T-shirt and denim hot pants. Then she put on her coat, and the paint inside was half exposed, and it really looked like a dress.
At this time, Jenny also changed into Snow White's clothes. She was playing Snow White.
Elsa had the least decorations on her body. She was wearing a maid outfit - there was originally a sexy maid outfit, but Elsa refused - and then she wore a pair of cats on her head.
There is also a xiǎodong behind him, and then a cat tail sticks out from it.
After putting makeup on everyone, Aniya also changed her clothes. She is now wearing a Chunli cheongsam. She is laying Chunli.
After Aniya put on her high heels and wrist guards, everything was settled.
"Okay! It's time for us to set off!"
Lily couldn't wait.
After putting on makeup and putting on these weird clothes, everyone walked out.
At this time, there were already many people on the street dressed in all kinds of strange clothes like them, having fun on the street.
Everyone is heading to the same place - Glenwich Village.
Greenwich Village is the name of a place in the West Side of New York City in the United States. Most of the people living here are writers, artists, etc. Greenwich Village represents another way of life and is a representative of American counterculture.
Greenwich Village was formed in the United States around 1910, where various art workers, idealists and even democrats gathered.
This is also the "home base" of the current hippie movement and the sexual liberation movement.
Maybe it's like this usually, but it's different tonight.
Many people had already set off and headed to Washington Square in Greenwich Village.
On this day, the streets became particularly lively.
Usual rules were temporarily put aside as thousands of well-dressed New Yorkers paraded through the streets, unafraid of judgment. Men wore hats, revealing clothes, and some even wore miniskirts from Angel Costume Design.
Then walk all the way next to the old woman playing the flute. No one will worry about these weirdos or outliers, because in this parade, Halloween is a night where no one can do anything.
It's a night where everything can be done except crime. On Halloween night, while most other cities in the United States are in chaos, Greenwich Village is peaceful. Party revelers have a great time, making the crime rate that night higher than other times in the same year.
It should be lower at night - this is the conclusion drawn by New Yorkers themselves. For New Yorkers, Halloween is a moment when all kinds of wild fantasies become reality.
Although Catherine now lives in California most of the time, they still chose New York for this parade.
And they didn't even choose Anoka. Not choosing Anoka, the "Halloween Capital" of Minnesota, was Catherine's consideration.
At least judging from the usual situation, the Halloween parade in New York is considered to be the most crime-ridden. Although Kane is on the side to protect it, there are so many people on Halloween, who knows what kind of accidents will happen then?
Kane and several bodyguards were guarding Catherine and the others at this time. They followed Catherine and the others closely while keeping a certain distance to ensure that they would not affect Catherine and the others.
Each of them wore a white shirt, black suit, black shoes, black tie, and black sunglasses.
Their current official name is "mib", which is also "meninb".
MiB under bre is an elite bodyguard.
Of course, the number of these bodyguards is also very small. So far, there are only about a hundred people in total.
To become a MIB, an ordinary bodyguard can apply by themselves and then go through layers of reviews and physical examinations.
And even so, these people cannot be regarded as real mibs, they still need to undergo a series of rigorous training.
Although it is already the end of October and November will be here tomorrow, perhaps because of the warm atmosphere, although everyone is wearing very little, they do not feel cold.
On the side of the street, several children were giggling.
They did not go door-to-door asking for candies like many novels and films, and even if they did, it would be difficult to succeed - because everyone has already left.
They followed their parents. Some children were dressed up as cute little bees, and some were dressed up as butterflies, little flying heroes, etc.
Their parents took them with them and then followed the crowd to participate in the parade. Everyone was laughing and playing.
"Elsa, what's Halloween like in the UK?" Lily suddenly asked.
Elsa thought for a moment, and then said: "This... I don't know very well, but if it is during this holiday, there will always be many children knocking on the door of Lady Susan's manor... Well, they really
It’s very interesting.”
Lily shrugged: "Unfortunately, there are parades here every year, and we rarely see that kind of interesting scenes. Maybe it would be better if we moved to another place? For example, Philadelphia or Los Angeles?"
"Actually, Halloween has developed to this day and has changed a lot."
Indeed, when the Irish first brought Halloween to the United States, they didn't even use jack-o'-lanterns, but turnip lanterns.
"Trick or treat" is also a repertoire of Halloween, but now that the hippie movement is reaching its peak, this program is somewhat different from the original one.
Just like Catherine and others wearing strange clothes to participate in the parade, this is now the mainstream.
In fact, Catherine feels that Halloween is a program created just for hippies. This program is so unique.
In fact, this day should be a non-mainstream parade in mainstream society - this is the definition of Halloween given by Catherine to New Yorkers.
