Matching Gecko Get-Ups Take Prize
A man and his dog dressed as reptiles with matching gecko suits won this year’s Key West pet/owner look-alike contest.
About 75 pets competed in the Wednesday night event, one of the zaniest and most popular of the island’s nine-day Halloween Fantasy Fest.
Echo Grey and her great Dane, Jagger, wearing outfits of painted zebra stripes and little else, took the prize for the most exotic costume.
In an ode to a Las Vegas nightclub act, Key Wester Frank Cicalese and his Chihuahua, Sam, were rolled onto stage wearing matching, glittery green Statue of Liberty outfits. The duo--backed by a bevy of show girls--danced to a disco tune before an audience of about 1,000 spectators.
