The parade
One Saturday last summer, when walking downtown to a rendezvous with a friend, approaching Canal Street, my route was blocked by the start of a most unusual parade. Or at least it would have been unusual almost anywhere but here. The outfits were very skimpy and mildly fetishist. The men were all or mostly gay. There were few floats, none memorable and some drums. The dancers were unexceptional but had a lot of fun. At the sides of the road, ‘cops’ were stopping the crowds from crossing the road. Mostly women, they wore Village People hats, sunglasses, obvious fake NYPD jackets, skimpy leotards, fishnets, heels, bright lipstick and heavy eyeliner. The men also wore wigs. It lasted 15-20 minutes, tops and was one of the many diversions that are such a regular part of life in New York.
