Painting the town orange, white and green

After the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, friends Rebecca Scuderi, left, and Traci Tucker, seniors at Wagner College on Staten Island, headed to Crime Scene bar and lounge on the Bowery. As can be seen, they both sported the Irish national flag painted on their faces, with Scuderi also wearing an “Irish in training” button. Tucker had gotten to kiss Gilbert Gottfried, the comedian, “three times” as he stood near Fifth Ave. and 59th St. watching the parade. They were hoping that washing off their face paint later wouldn’t be a problem. “It’s supposed to come off easily with soap and water, hopefully,” said Scuderi, as they both laughed.
