The Mermaid Parade

Today we participated in one of New York's finest long standing traditions: the Coney Island Mermaid Parade!

In case you aren't familiar with the festivities, let me enlighten you. Basically, freaks and geeks from far and wide don MERMAID costumes and parade down the boardwalk, and thousands of people come to watch. Some of them are draped in fishnets, some are covered in seashells, and some aren't really covered at all... But everyone has a grand old time.

There was a 2o foot seahorse...


An octopus...


The Marine Antoinettes... (get it?)


"H" and "No-H," enjoy it all from the sidelines, while secretly wishing we had brought our fins...


Bon Voyage reality, hello Coney Island!
