Halloween Parade
We're big fans of the Village Halloween Parade, despite the increasing corporate presence, but this year we finally learned our lesson after battling through crowds of onlookers and standing on our tiptoes to try to see over all their heads to catch a quick glimpse of the weirdos parading down the street. The best place to see the parade is from within. Plus, despite concerns that we would revert to the frightening police state that this city turned into during the RNC, anyone who wants to join the parade is still free to do so, just by showing up. You don't even have to get fingerprinted or tattooed with a bar code. Here are a few pictures of some notable costumes:
- A guy with a pixilated face from COPS
- A bloodied couple, with a dead fetus emerging from the girl's belly
- A man in a very cool sparkly Spidey-like bodysuit
- Some guys on very tall stilts
- The Morton Salt Girl (Richard Peabody and I have both been in love with her for many years now)
- A gigantic butterfly headdress
- Lil John, complete with "What?" and "Yeah!"s. Probably the most popular costume/performance among onlookers along 6th Avenue
- A totally bizarre Hasidic-looking amputee Jesus on a cross
- Grass people
- A bee baby
- Munch's recently stolen The Scream painting
- and a proud Lynndie England and her abused prisoner. A depraved, yet irresistible couple

Speaking of Lynndie, here's a site dedicated to the latest prank photograph craze, "Doing a Lynndie".
