[Round-Up] Mermaid Parade Photos!

Photo Via Flickr User Vivienne Gucwa

The weather was perfect this past Saturday for stripping down and glittering up at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. 

Since I am nothing if not inattentive, I had completely forgotten that the parade was taking place on this particular day. By the time I reached Surf Avenue it was 6PM and the festivities had disintegrated into a gaggle of drippy body paint and stray feathers. I'd instead come to Coney to watch the Cyclones lose to the Staten Island Yankees (if anyone's dying to know who won the giant condiment mascot race though, it was RELISH. You're welcome).

Since I missed out on all the pasties and clam shells, I spent the morning clicking through the Flickr pool to get a full re-cap. Here are some of my favorites (beware-y, as some are NSFW):
