noxilot: Ms. Tropicana 2012
noxilot: this photo didn't come out properly (har, har), but his shirt was worth it
noxilot: the teachers' contingent was particularly vocal this year. I wore my "I (heart) GSAs" sticker with gusto
noxilot: mais oui
noxilot: she is more graceful than I will ever be. I accept this fact
noxilot: but wait - they're actually mermen! I love Pride. I love it ever so much
noxilot: well, sure, they're sparkly and beaming, and that's great - but so is everyone else. ho hum. (see the next photo of these guys for the big reveal...)
noxilot: it's the headphones that please me most - Pride just isn't loud or boisterous enough for Animal
noxilot: this is why it's fun to stand next to the staging area - you get to see the marchers chatting amongst themselves before they melt into puddles of spangled goo
noxilot: i know it's wrong, but my first reaction was, 'oh man, I need a gigantic nuclear reactor hat'
noxilot: 'yeah, yeah, you tell that joke every year...'
noxilot: 'take a seat, sir...'
noxilot: and the best pride-slash-canada day body art of the day award goes to...
noxilot: this may be a new frontier
noxilot: spectacularly lucky shot
noxilot: when the guy wearing the neon green afro and buttless green fishnets makes that face at you, you know you're pushing boundaries
noxilot: pride's heat is positively chilly compared to the weather on Arrakis
noxilot: 'awww, that's such a sweet mome- oh, wow, they're really going at it. I think I'll stick with this one picture'
noxilot: you can never have too many rainbows. you just can't
noxilot: an important point that can get lost between the sequins
noxilot: it may surprise you to learn she was from the marijuana contingent
noxilot: i know i say it every year, but PFLAG is simply the most moving part of the parade
noxilot: i cannot improve this photo with a caption. it is perfect as it is
noxilot: pink flurry unicorns defending the can-non!
noxilot: as usual, the engineers win. Nyan cat was born to dance at Pride!
noxilot: her joy was infectious. the CDC has been called in
noxilot: this is how all relationships will look once the singularity straightens us out (in a manner of speaking)
noxilot: the poly people had the best signs, possibly because there were more people per household to work on them
noxilot: this is a fine place to plant my flag
noxilot: that Starbucks cup is having an excellent day
