Mardigras parade snapshots: Part deux

I really wanted to dress up for the Mardigras parade this year and then I kinda figured that every year I dress like I really want to look at all times. So I just kept it simple with blue hair, (I wish I had the balls to go through the bleaching process, I've had red and violet before and it really damaged my hair) green lips, booty shorts, a sequinned top and my Docs plus loads and loads of shimmer powder. Easy but something that's really me and it was awesome to be out dressed comfortably in the crowd. The energy, the feeling and the celebration that is this period and the parade just makes me a happy ball of euphoria. I wish these pictures could convey the sheer joy that is being able to celebrate equality in this fashion. I am so happy that my current home is this city that celebrates equal rights this flamboyantly.























Booty shorts: Insight, Sequin top: Don't remember, Vintage leather backpack and Docmartens

Snapshots from the Sydney MardiGras: Part Un

The Sydney Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer Mardi Gras festival culminates in the renowned Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, a LGBTQI rights protest and celebration of sexuality. The 2013 parade featured more than 10,000, entrants in 110 elaborate floats and colourful costumes, who represented a community group, topical theme or political message. I cannot express how happy I am to attend something like this for the fifth year and then go dance my heart out. Here are a bunch of snapshots of the people and the fun that is Sydney Mardi Gras.
