horses horses horses
The Mardi Gras parade was really really really fun.
Really.
I can't believe we have lived in Sydney for 8 years and this was our first one.
I got lots of kisses and cuddles from parade participants (Kate seems to think it has something to do with the 'slut' tattoo on my forehead, who's to say?).
There were lots of cowboys this year, go fig. But there were also a few pirates too!
I'm sure I've mentioned that I LOVE a good pirate. But really, the city was buzzing.
Full of feathers, sequins and cowboys hats. Be sure to check out some of the pics over at Flickr. Rob, Kate and Lil have some good ones. And I took a few too....But I'm sure more people will be adding shots to the Sydney Mardi Gras pool soon.
And in the spirit of the season, I bought tickets to Boy From Oz tonight. I'm going with some girlfriends in September, and assuming that they don't add any other shows we are going to the very last show of the Australian run. Now granted that we are in the nosebleed seats...but I'm sure we are in for a maraca shakin' good time.
OH, oh, oh, I almost forgot. At Mardi Gras, instead of beads they were thowing out whistles, fans and maracas to the crowds. The maracas were supplied by...drum roll please...Tupperware. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Tupperware. They are so cool. Do they know their market or what?
ahhh, Mardi Gras, Peter Allen and maracas. How's that for a weekend? And to top it off, I have tomorrow off.
whoo-hoo
