This bonnet is for the birds.<\/p>\n
The Post tracked down the artistic New Yorkers behind some of the most over-the-top headgear of the annual Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival<\/a> \u2014 including a woman who will festoon her noggin with a NYC pigeon.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you ever want to know what it\u2019s like to be a celebrity, you put on a really nice hat and you go to the Easter Bonnet Parade,\u201d said Gina Kim of Sunnyside, Queens, who constructed iconic New York City images to adorn her bonnet. <\/p>\n This year, Gina Kim is donning a hat topped with a stuffed pigeon surrounded by \u201ciconic NYC garbage.\u201d Janet S. Kim<\/p>\n The bejeweled pigeon is wearing sunglasses and a tiny Mets cap, while coffee cascades down Kim\u2019s hair from a ubiquitous sidewalk-vendor coffee cup. <\/p>\n There is also an open pizza box with a half-eaten pie spilling out.<\/p>\n The toy designer has attended the Fifth Avenue tradition<\/a> \u2014 which dates to the 1870s \u2014 for close to a decade, and has a head for hats.<\/p>\n She\u2019s adorned her dome with everything from a box of Tide detergent and a cup of Ramen noodles to a spinning NYC sign.<\/p>\n She says she is stopped for \u201ceasily over 100 photos\u201d during the Sunday stroll from 49th to 57th streets<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like having paparazzi come at you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI made the little laundry line with tiny clothes, and I had my friend 3D print a little laundry basket for me because it\u2019s all about the details,\u201d Kim said.
