With that "Mermaid" theme, how can anyone not expect a few trannies? They're mostly harmless, except for the ones who go as chocolate starfish.

The parade was great. I can't wait to rock it again next year.

they should change the name of the parade to "Is that a tranny? No, that's a tranny. The other one just looked mannish, parade" Seriously, was just there. The people were great, but if you thought it was a parade with half naked hot chicks you will be seriously dissapointed. There was this awesome marching band but this attention whore tranny fucked it up too.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there [2]. Have you ever been to the parade? I've been to several Mermaid Parades and I'd describe the crowds as very socially heterogeneous. And unless you think your child will be psychologically scarred by exposure to mild public nudity, it's even pretty family friendly.

"semi-official start of summer for many New Yorkers" replace "many" with "hipster" for more accurate journalism. Thanks!

I can't wait. I love the Mermaid Parade. I don't believe the tone at the parade will be so bad. Since CUSA bought the building on West 12th Street and Surf Avenue it guarantees more Mermaid Parades for the future.
