The Parasol Gang



She is not alone in the Jardin. For months she was the only Parasol on the block but the Gang is growing. At least three other women have picked up the Parasol, blocked the sun and are hoping for rain. They will taunt by yelling "No UV for me" and have been known to use the parasol as a weapon.

A fifth member has appeared. This gang is growing far faster than people imagine. There was even a paper parasol in the Jardin last week.


This gang can only be identified from the Parasol. Remove the Parasol and confusion reigns. This woman has a Classic Gang hat but a Rug Gang covering.

ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY

The discovery of this parasol by a contributor has the Jardin in a buzz.



Gangs are competitive in San Miguel. Members of the Rug Gang are always trying to outcarpet each other. The various Hat Gangs are always swamming the hat vendors in the Jardin for something "new". Imagine the excitement of the Parasol Gang with this new Parasol. One member has even coined a new slogan "Here Comes the Shade". So be prepared to lose the sun.
