It's a typical afternoon on State Street. A mix of locals and visitors amble along the sidewalk gleefully burdened with bags bearing the designer labels of their contents while others inhabit the restaurants and coffee shops that line either side of the downtown thoroughfare. But on this particular day, it's not the snake handler or a live animal pyramid that are soliciting the public's attention — it's three majestic figures waltzing through the throng turning heads. While pretty people might not be that unusual for Santa Barbara, the realization that these lovely ladies were actually men was certainly turning most heads.
