The Halloween Parade NaBloPoMo Day 1

 

They were really tight, this marching band doing their thing on 6th Avenue in the middle of the NYC Greenwich Village 49th Annual Halloween Parade.

Watching the parade from Wanda and Derek's window is really very civilized. So many demons and assorted warlocks and an occasional Anna Delvey or a sexy taco just... out on a Monday night screaming. It's hard not to get caught up in the turmoil and just glee of it all. 

My favorite moments were the neon body painted crew voguing their hearts out on a float.

Also, a guy dressed up as a gore-covered surgeon came strolling by under the window from one direction while, approaching from the other direction was a woman in an indeterminant jungle dweller outfit. Jungle woman was hawking quarts of fake blood. She had a rolley cart with a whole cooler of blood pouches. The surgeon halts mid-stride and purchases two quarts of additional blood, which he immediately opens up and splashes on himself. 

I couldn't have loved both of them more.

The pumpkins were new this year. From NY Post Article here
