I was there too--pretty amazing stuff, especially the dancing umbrella troupe in the second half. I'm currently uploading pictures to my Flickr set.

Funny how the only women showing their boobs are the fat bellied, cellulete addled ones. I mean, cheers for being open and having fun, but some of those women look more like Buddah in drag rather than a sexy mermaid.

...says bongo in between spoonfuls of butter.

The high point of the parade was definitely the Fish Tales from the Crypt, and their version of Thriller. May have been my favorite Mermaid Parade moment of all time.

Jenny S., does your last name rhyme with Mappingfon?

No, it doesn't. Rhyme with mappingfon. It rhymes with Sith. And I don't normally stoop to troll bait. It just pisses me off when people take it upon themselves to criticize women's bodies unsolicited, especially when the're lovely and proud and real, like these women are. What a sense of entitlement. I'll bet he's freakin' Jonny Depp over there.

The Mermaid Parade kicked ass. Especially the end, when everybody went down into the ocean and the rain started. Glorious.
