Scenes from Mardi Gras

Well the festival of gay that is Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has finally ground to a halt for 2011.

Being a lazy lesbian all I managed to do was watch the parade, which being  a short lazy lesbian meant I didn’t actually see all that much.

Here’s what I did see…

Train carriage over whelmed by an ACTUAL screaming queen with his gaggle of fag hags. He was so loud and exited I thought my ears were going to bleed

First cab off the rank as usual... Dykes on Bikes

I think this float had some community legends on board. It's also one of the few pictures of the parade that worked

Took us a while to figure out what this was ... a big pink heart with wings and ping pong balls blowing around on the inside
