New York Halloween!!

Ok, I just did something which I am frankly shocked. I just spent US$500 on a Halloween costume. Some explaination is in order.

The 35th New York Annual New York's Village Halloween Parade will be held tomorrow on Friday night. It is listed as one of the top 100 things to do and see before you die. Basically, the entire Sixth Avenue in New York starting from Spring Street will be packed with NYorkers dressed up in Halloween costumes. Freaks, gays, drag queens, nudies and flashers will all be out in force. People will turn up in the most outlandish costumes to take part in the parade walk. It is the largest street night party in the New York Calender. It will be a drunk and fun night.


I have been waiting for the famous New York Halloween Festival for many years. It is one night where everyone is equal. Rich or poor, straight or gay, it doesn't matter. Everyone is dressed up as monsters. This really hot South African girl that I know is coming as a kinky police woman. Naughty. Yay. When I asked her why, she said simply that she would be arrested as a prostitute if she tried doing it in South Africa. Indeed. New York is the only place where everything is tolerated.


I have always wanted to dress up in a particular costume. So I spent US$500 to buy the most authentic costume ever. Behold the costume which I will be going in:


How's there for a f#%@&@ awesome Catholic priest cossack. There are 27 sewn buttons. Thrown in a theatrical cheap gold cross and I am your standard child-molesting Catholic priest.

All these years of stupid Christians telling me to repent or go to hell. And that stupid ass of a priest from my Secondary School who threatened us detention unless we say Hail Mary. Tomorrow night, for one night only (ta dah), the tables are turned and I can make fun of the religion the best way I know how. Dressed up as a Catholic priest with a beer in one hand in a freak show period. This is what I call retribution.

Here are some pictures of the Pumpkin Festival last Saturday. Central Park was filled with pumpkins left, right and center. Unfortunately, the festival was rained out by heavy downpour.




Presidential pumpkins!



Tomorrow night will be historic!
