Gay Pride London, 2009
Pride day in London, this is the first year that I’ve actually been able to make it to this event. Pride or Gay pride, London parade is held by the local LGBT organisations. The the fancy (ridiculous ) dresses are one of the main highlights of the parade. The fashion line-up this year includes the pink fairies, wabbits, speedos, corsets, latex, leather, chains, hot pants, nuns with guns, kings and queens, body paint, carnival feather things and nothing at all.
Paraders get ready on baker street where many of them will start dressing up, and posing for photos. The parade proceeded onto oxford street and into regent street, down to Trafalgar square past Piccadilly circus. A stage is setup in travalger square where the party begins, occasionally interrupted by political party speeches by MPs.
Managed to grab this parader to pose for me. OK, I'm no testino, but (he) had good poses
