We
discovered, to our surprise, that the Gay Pride parade was
happening on Sunday. We were already in the area and it
was nearly impossible to avoid, so "when in Rome....".
The photos below are what we saw.
The
hotel across the street from The Clay was classic. Note
the colored accents.
The tree
in the street was in bloom but I am not sure of the species, so
I am guessing either Dogwood or Magnolia.
Heading
back to Ocean Ave, we passed the "trapped balloon".
The
parade started with an honor guard and a big bunch of police
vehicles.
This
fire truck was a classic. Not many convertible fire trucks
around.
I am not
sure of the criteria for participation in the parade other than
sexual preference.
There
were interesting folks everywhere.
Heels
seemed to be the big theme for the day.
I am not
trying to be judgemental, but guy or girl, this person is not
that attractive.
The
hairy legs complete the outfit.
This
fellow was struggling with the heels on the hoverboard.
All hail women that can do heels!
Not
heels, but platform shoes.
Not sure
what to say here other than this is not a girl (or at least was
not originally)
It was
hot, so I am guessing that the girls with the body paint were
uncomfortable.
Nice
platforms.
It was
easy to get folks to pose: just point the lens in their
direction and magic happens.
I saw a
bunch of baseball-themed costumes.
Yowza.
The girl
was quite skilled on the stilts.
Kathleen
wanted a photo with this gal.
The
"Danas" were tormenting this guy attempting to sleep
Interesting
tattoos.
The pose
only requires a camera lens in their direction.
This gal
sought out Kathleen for the photo.
Sunburn
will become a factor here shortly.
This
fellow's shirt said "Gaywatch".
Do you
think it was crowded?
