Boobs Mermaids on Parade

mermaid parade, 2005

The weather was perfect for today's Mermaid Parade in Coney Island- perfect for seeing lots of topless ladies, that is. There were also lots of guys in full drag, ten-year-old girls wearing fish costumes, and older men showing off their vintage hot rods. Pictures have already started to pile up on Flickr- if you took some, add them there (tags: "Mermaid", "MermaidParade", "Coney Island", etc) or post them to your own site and add the link in the comments on this post!

Some examples: Bluejake, Joe's NYC, Forgotten NY, NYC Photo... and our personal favorite, a Thundercut mermaid walk sign, caught by Hellboy on Flickr:

There are so many great pictures both on the Flickr site and in other places. It was a fantastic day, although I still haven't figured out why the mini-van was in the classic car part of the parade.

You guys are too quick for me. You had everything uploaded before I even left Coney Island yesterday!

I'll be adding to my photostream on there soon - I'll post a set right now, and I'm working on a large collage over the course of the day. I had over 750 pictures yesterday, most from the area by the judges' booth. It's a lot to sort out. Here's the link:

As promised, Jen here's the post that links to my pics for this year.

I stood along the boardwalk at the beginning of the route and put my images on Flickr as soon as I got home.

It was my first Mermaid Parade and I definitely want to go again next year.

I have about 84 pics from the 2005 parade up on my site right now:

Here's my pics from the parade, mostly of the group I was in, the Brooklyn Bombshells.

What a wonderful parade!

Yet more photos of what is quickly becoming the most over exposed NYC event since The Gates. ; )

That is one scary Christina Aguilera picture!

G.

the only reason it's "overexposed" is because of the (photo)bloggers, the flickr accounts and the fact that everybody and their mother has a digital camera and website these days. that's not to say that i wouldn't have been there.

It should be mentioned that our Mermaid in Gold, above, is burlesque dancer Bunny Love. She was remarkable in that outfit. If she can really be said to be "in that outfit" in the first place.

My pictures? But of course. Here's my Flickr stream, mermaid-heavy at this point while I cull through the hundreds of shots (and not near done).

I was there too. Fun was had by all. My wife took all the pictures.

Some more pictures of the 2005 Mermaid Parade for your browsing pleasure
