Pride 2013 (photo heavy)

Ok so it's a day late but whatevs....PRIDE 2013! All the fabulousness my city has to offer and offer it did!

 

Blurry shot as we were walking to the parade route. I couldn't stop as I was at the front of a crowd of people so blurry is what you get but look at the blooming trees, the whole city has exploded with pretty tree blooms

Stood patiently waiting for the wind to flap it the right way.

The rally before hand. There was lots more people at the parade this year. It's getting bigger ever year and I LOVE it! Also the weather was gorgeous, cool for June.2 but not a cloud in the sky.

It begins!

Surely you remember these divas from last year right? K.P and I love them and so does everyone else!

work

So fierce!

The divas last year

TD Canada Trust...they had a massive crew, at least double the size from last year...awesome!

These guys OMG!

Bahaha they had cut one of those jelly balls in half and were wearing them on their heads...double awesome!

The sex shop

A QUEEN! I looooove queens!

Club 200

Diva Queen

Love is Love

Lady with a parasol

Pride is alllllllll about the tiny dogs, millions of tiny dogs

a fun twirly skirt

Klinic float

The golden girl throwing up a fake gang sign

I spy another queen!

PARTY BOY!

Fame float

I thought this thing was kinda creepy

"If nothing changes, nothing changes"

Oh hello whom do we have here?

I spy Indiana on the CherryStems float!

The furries, there group was 4-5 times bigger than they were last year

Rollerderby! One of K.P's co-workers was with this group
 

Live music....yes please! K.P said the trumpet player was topless which she is but husbie missed it

 

More queens! I am sad I didn' get a good shot of the platinum queen, she was GORGEOUS!

Dudes on skateboards hitchin' a ride

CRAZY! I have never ever seen a bird furry before. She was insane looking and her mouth even moved

Haha this was random and I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that husbie took this one

After the parade we went home, rested, then headed out for the par-tay at the Forks. I was hungry so we hit up the food trucks. Corn on the Curb

 I had the Luchador...butter, feta and paprika, K.P had the Rooster...chilies and sirracha

Then husbie and I got tacos. The beef was better than the chicken
 

Cute sticker on the Japanese dessert truck

Of course they get all the attenshunz...DIVAS!

My very own fabulous

So much love and good times. I love PRIDE and I'm sure it will be even bigger next year!

June fabulous June

I swear I am going to be real pro-active with blogging (AND picture taking too!). Mother Nature for sure thinks my city is the unloved step child and treats us as such...hoodies and jeans in JUNE, smh. It was monsoon season last week (credit to the LPC), tons of rain no riding. These are from the week before, only a few. I have barely been out this year :(

I am back to doing my make up daily and doing my own nails once a week. These 2 are recent purchases. I have bought some other stuff but this is the only stuff that photographed. What's that you say? you are shocked I have purchased yet ANOTHER lip balm? Love this, going to buy the pink punch flavour.

yellow yellow nail polish...love it! This brand is awesome

More adventuring around

 I spy a parking ticket

 

No wonder...jackass...you deserve it asshole

Jazzfest! I NEED to be going this year

Super creepy headless doll in the park and my cute toes

 One lone red flower

Beautiful

Indiana and I went to a snyth show at a divey bar and I am now in love with one of the groups...Ghost Twin....so freaking good. Find them on Soundcloud HERE...I have been listening on repeat.

AND tomorrow....a post recapping PRIDE 2013 (*love*)
