I marched in the NYC Pride parade today with Steven’s law school float. (Steven is good friends with Liz from years ago) Two floats behind us were the Randy Blue models! (a very successful gay porn site) HOTTTTT. Their bitchy manager lady was like “Umm they are all exclusives.” Yes lady, I know that. I am not trying to poach your models. Well, not for any on camera experiences anyways. lol I honestly don’t know any of their names because they were unavailable for me to shoot… but I will be doing some very important research later this evening. Don’t I look like I died and went to fag hag heaven?

This years theme is “Liberty and Justice for All”

Liz looking stunning as usual.

She recently had foot surgery so the princess was getting a foot rub.

Steven and Jason…who was rocking the White Trash Gay look…

…complete with chewing tobacco.

OMG tell me that their friend Jamie Lynn does not look like Britney Spears!?

Love it!

I learned a valuable lesson in being prepared today. When I approach an animal for the fish eye shots I absolutely must be ready to shoot the second I get down to their level. If the animal is even slightly spooked by the lens and my proximity and I don’t get it on the first try, then it’s over. I was having focusing issues while trying to shoot this French Bulldog and then she was just over me.

Umm gross.

Christina Aguilera masks for everyone! They also had Cher masks. They were being used as fans all day mostly since it was 382 degrees out.

I could barely control myself being around them all day.

A gay storm trooper? Awesome !

It started to get even crazier as we went south into the Village.

People partying on the fire escape watching the parade…

Ridiculously hot.

The level of enthusiasm and the noise increased dramatically when the Randy Blue boys walked by…not so much for our law school float. lol

 

Everyone was getting into the music!

 

After the parade we just wanted to duck into some air conditioned bar for a cold drink…

And when we ordered lemon drop shots we got a shot glass, a half packet of sugar, lemon slice and vodka. It was so nasty. That guy was like “Oh you are gonna order a foo-foo shot on the busiest day of the year? No. Fuck you.”

Someone was selling this on the street. What the hell is it? A meth lab starter kit? Wtf

We finally left the Village and went up to the Hell’s Kitchen area in hopes of finding a less crowded bar. Vlada’s was perfect because the bar itself is actually frosted! I was taking the icy frost and putting it down my own shirt.

The monkey was hot too and it was the perfect spot for a Facedown.

I haven’t been drinking that much so I was pretty tanked. We went to another bar called Therapy, but honestly I don’t know how long I stayed. I do remember a hot tall guy that Liz introduced me to that I was intruiged by until I found out he was married. Lame. I woke up at 2am safely in my hotel room, but not 100% sure how I got there or how long ago.
