Argh Matey!
Pirates are taking over St. Augustine. A number of new pirate-themed businesses have opened up in recent months including a new Pirate and Treasure Museum and photographer Tiger Lee’s Pirate Fashion and Fotos. Regular folks can go inside, get decked out in swashbuckling gear and have their photos made with authentic pirate props and backgrounds. The photographer on duty the day I visited said their shop is very popular in the booming costumed pirate industry. I didn’t know so many people got dressed up as pirates on the weekends! Tiger Lee has produced a number of sexy pirate babe calendars over the years. A sample of his work is located in the montage above.
