Rainbow Shiva

Shorts: Insight, Tee-shirt: Janpath: Delhi, Boots: NineWest, back-pack: Vintage

The city council has painted Taylor square crossing rainbow in order to celebrate MardiGras this year and ofcourse I like a million others couldn't resist taking photos on the funnest crossing I have ever seen. I may have ranted about the cost and the stupidity of keeping it on just for the month of March but rainbow crossing for a month is better than no rainbow crossing at all!

So I know I haven't been posting frequently and have been commenting sporadically on my favourite blogs but I've had a lot on my plate and I am still dazed and dreamy about Axl Rose singing Happy Birthday while I was in the audience ON my birthday. Basically the boy aced it by giving me one of the best birthday surprises of my life. I was quite apprehensive that Axl wouldn't turn up etc but he was right on time, sounded amazing, the band was tight and I have been listening to them non-stop ever since. And now my leather pants have come out to play, but that's stuff for another post. Now that autumn weather is starting to make its presence felt all my grand-pa cardigans are out of hibernation and the cold weather in Europe is making me excited for the onset of winter. I know I'll be complaining about the chill pretty soon but for now I am looking forward to it. Have a happy weekend!

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.

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.
