IN "A TIP OF THE HAT ON 14TH STREET"
ART IN ODD PLACES: RITUAL
featuring over 60 artists performing on 14th Street from Oct.1-10, 2011

LuLu LoLo as the "Gentleman of 14th Street" attired in top hat, white tie, and tails strolled up and down 14th Street enacting the once popular male ritual of the 19th and early 20th centuries of "Tipping One's Hat" as an act of nonverbal greeting, respect, and a gesture of chivalry towards women. Doffing her top hat LuLu acknowledged the presence of the multitude of passersby on 14th Street either with the ritual silent gesture or by adding a greeting "Hello" or "Have a Good Day." On the last day of her performance LuLu as the “Gentleman of 14th Street” tipped her hat and greeted 1,074 passersby. Listen to LuLu LoLo in A Tip of the Hat on 14th Street - Broadcastr.
