Mother Ginger

Another Nutcracker picture.
This is Mother Ginger (played by a male) who is the "mother" of all the bon bons. She is often represented as a woman or man in a giant dress from wich underneath the bon bons (children generally) spill out and proceed to dance. When protrayed this way, she's generally portrayed as quite comical;Ballet Austin uses local celebtrities each year, for example. I thought this photo captured her personality well even if it is a bit out of focus and terribly composed/framed. Plus it's a bit weird.
