The mermaid parade is definitely my favorite NYC event. It's full of creative people from all walks of life, all ages, all body types... rumor has it that this may be the last one because Coney Island has been sold off to some developers. Heartbreaking if true.
My costume has been sitting in my closet for a year waiting to be worn. I was "Samba of the Sea." It was a gorgeous day.

I am a really crappy photographer, but my friends' pics are SO much better. (The one of me at the left is Lynn's...)

After the parade, when I was all hot and dehydrated, I realizes that I lost my car keys. Needless to say, I was really pissed and stressed about it. I get back to the car to find that some guy from an auto repair down the block saw my keys, took them for me, and left a note. He had this real brooklyn accent and said "You're so lucky... someone would have stolen that car so fast!!" I paid him off with a couple of chicken tacos from the corner deli and a 24 oz Budweiser.I love New York.

Loved the photos. Such grace. Such class. Such a great costume. Such blue hair. Gives new meaning to the words "My Little Mermaid". Looks like it was great fun. Hope it won't be the last. ILY, Mom
