Coney Island Mermaid Parade
« on: June 13, 2006, 07:39:33 PM »
Saturday, June 24 (the first Saturday of Summer) at Coney Island, it's the annual Mermaid Parade!

http://www.coneyislandusa.com/mermaid.shtml

Why mention it here?

Think swimsuits.... Mermaids.... Body paint....

There are *FAR* too many pics out there to give you an example of what you might see. Just enter "Mermaid Parade" in your favorite photo search - Altavista, Google, Flickr, etc. The breasts will be there.

The ground is deep with fallen leaves and nuts of White and Red Oak, and of Beech, that line and fill the footprints and the ruts which all along the wooded pathway reach. First claim, of course, to chipmunk and to squirrel for bleak mid-Winter sustenance belongs, as all around old leaves descend and twirl about, through feathered autumn songs.

The day dawned overcast with rain threatening, but King Neptune (Lucky Diamond Rich) ordered the rain to stay away from the Parade, and for the most part, it did. The heavens did not open up until 5 pm, well after the parade was over. During the parade there were only a few brief intervals of light sprinkles, none of which were long or heavy enough to be a problem.

Boobage was on display, of course, being led by the Queen, longtime mermaid Bambi the Mermaid.

I think the weather may have kept a lot of marchers away. The floats and costumes weren't as extravagant as they were last year.

But I did like the  Main Squeeze Orchestra, an all-girl, all-accordion band. Couldn't determine the size of their breasts, but I doubt they were large. Accordions and breasts don't mix. Also catching my eye were four young ladies who decked themselves out as Coney Island postcards, and a group calling themselves "Three Little Mermaids from School are We" decked out in Japanese finery.

The parade highlight had to have been the wedding of Joe & Jennifer, who actually did march in the Parade and got married FOR REAL at the reviewing stand.

Went to the Ball afterwards, and sprung for a VIP ticket. Had performances by Les Sans Culottes, a faux French rock band, sideshow performer Adam: The First Real Man, and burlesque babes Creamy Stevens and Little Brooklyn.

Got to chat a bit with Dick Zigun, the man behind Coney Island's current revival. He's just been appointed to the Coney Island Development Corporation, so you know that developers are now going to have a very hard time ruining the place.

Next year's parade will be their 25th, and lots of big things are in the works.

Mod edit to remove link to fund raising effort. No matter how worthy the cause, the BEA Owner's rules specifically prohibit this sort of post without exception.
