Sunday, June 14th. Chuck and Edwin observe and report.
As best as the Andre and Tott's will allow...
Every year you can find me watching the parade on the corner of Santa Monica and La Cienega. Main reason? The liquor store on the corner caters to my needs. This year it was champagne for mimosas. 3 bottles. Drunk(ish) by 1pm. How else should one attend?
The parade always kicks off with those Dykes on Bikes. But this year I noticed something peculiar... Dykes on mopeds. That's just wrong.
At first I thought it was Angela Lansbury. Mmm, no... it's Angela Mansbury!
Comedienne and late night E! talk show host Chelsea Handler was the Grand Marshall this year. I love her more than anything and as she passed by I screamed, "Chelsea, you're a hot bich!" She waved a said, "Oh hi gay!" If you know her then you know that that was pure love.
That's my no-pulp mimosa. Not so sneaky, huh?
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom - the next Governor of CA?
Lord knows he wrapped up the gay votes years ago.
At the festival some singer calling himself Tim Permanent performed. I overheard the guy standing next to me say to his friend, "I'd say he's more like Tim Temporary."
There was an entire float dedicated to the trans-genders of the Amazon.
Um, who knew?
Haha. No.
My friend Frank was supposed to be selling underwear at a booth in the festival. When I passed by... he was knocked out. And he had a tight grip on that bottle - it still had some booze in it!
Turns out if you mix Andre with Tott's you get a little headache the next day.
Deservedly so...
These are nice pics! I've never attended LA gay pride but have attended San Francisco for the last 10+ years. Always a party!!
