Mardi Gras 2009

It’s March and that means it’s time for the annual Mardi Gras celebrations here in Sydney. Thanks to my friend Omar, who’s new apartment overlooks Anzac Pde, we were able to watch the whole parade go past throughout the night – even my friend Kate was part of it!

Dykes on Bikes, Sex In The City, Bears In Leather, Divas, Drag Queens, Twinkies, Tributes to Harvey Milk – you name it, it was there, strutting around, covered in glitter and feathers.

I had a really awesome night, it’s fantastic that the people in Sydney can celebrate their acceptance in such a wonderfully colourful and theatrical way.

You can see photos from Mardi Gras here.

Photos from the house party that evening can be viewed here – special thanks to Omar for putting it on and inviting the likes of us reprobates, you rock dude. 

I hope you like photos, despite being sick (man cold!) it always puts a smile on my face, to know that I live in one of the most tolerant and multicultural parts of the world.

Enjoy,
Alex
