I don’t think I could possibly pick a fave. It’s just all so overwhelmingly good!

It’s a bucket list one, for sure! Sad to say I will miss it this year!

Gosh that is an incredible question! Clearly, we have some research to do!

This event wasn’t “hijacked” by the LGBTQ community — they were there from the very inception and are as welcome as any New Yorkers. As far as the political statements, I think the Mermaid Parade was always a bit counter culture — it runs in its veins.

I also love my international travels, but considering my current situation at home taking care of my mom, there will be many closer-to-home and domestic travels covered here. I hope that won’t be a disappointment to too many readers.

It’s definitely a newer one! I’d love to go to Coney with you — I’m dying to see a baseball game there, which I feel like you’d be into 🙂

It’s never quite that simple, is it?
From so many of the pictures, I see the lgbtqia* community hijacking another event. I see political march posters and walking burlesque billboards.

The same thing, unfortunately, has happened to the Sundance Film Festival over the past 4 years. Honestly, it ruins the events. They are no longer about just having fun.

It’s sad that people don’t understand how to just ‘be’ instead of ‘trying to be’.

Your blog seemed to make that promise to me when I joined it. I enjoy when you’re visiting places abroad. Other places around the world seem to celebrate much better than the United States does.
