En route to the parade I stopped at a porno store on 8th Ave and 47th. They had a big sign: Costumes Half Off. I figured it was either a more clever-than-usual pun or a good deal.
I picked up this Caliph or Sultan or Godknowswhat costume for twenty bucks then headed downtown.
We hung out at the very base of the parade route, near the staging area. As such, we didn’t see that much of a diversity of costumes — but we heard fun music and got to revel in some anxious, off-stage excitement.
Here’s someone dressed like an old David Bowie album.
