We must be on Miami Vice without the water…or the Florida.
“Weee!”
More bike, less brains.
What happens if you let your dogs swim near the nuclear plant.
Where’s Barbie?
Siberian Tiger in its natural habitat.
The glamorous life of circus elephants
The reality. Look close and you’ll see an elephant snout.
Only in the South –Southern Belles and Ronald McDonald
Back in the 40s n’ 50s, our heroine’s mom used to ride the sideboard up the driveway when her father came home.
Favorite of the Parade –A youngin’ won an art contest and the reward was a ride in an old car and be eaten by a “Wild Thing.”
Tara… on wheels
Beauty Queen Barbie and Little Miss Such-and-Such
Teddy Bear a Go! Go! Go!
Sometimes you got to throw your weight around to get in this parade.
Now that’s a car! Considering people were significantly smaller then (height as well as girth), both the gentleman in the previous picture and myself would’ve been out of luck.
It’s not just the cars, it’s the:
A.) Midlife crisis
B.) Erectile dysfunction
C.) The people
D.) All of the above
These people train dogs to help disabled folks. They even had a bull dog , but couldn’t get a shot.
The photographer hates clowns, but loves Spongebob.
The local aquarium’s float scores points for cool.
Oh, to be so svelte, so graceful!
In this production we have the peasant girl, faeries, a queen, and the ever popular Lady America Typical (sitting)
The photographer has mixed feelings about beauty queens. Nice float though!
They’re all waiting for Ashley Wilkes.
More gratuitous Southern Belle footage.
Black Beauty was one of the photographer’s favorite books as a girl. That’s one gorgeous horse.
Juan Valdez tiene un dia en la ciudad.
Mammy bitch slaps that hussy, Scarlett, helps the Buffalo Soldiers, and marries Rhett Butler…or at least that’s how the photographer would rewrite the manuscript to Gone with the Wind if anyone wants to know.
Beautiful faerie resting her wings with a ride.
Dora the Explorer is actually smaller in person than you’d think.
‘Fishers of Men’ float. They may have took that Bible quote literally, because the guy in front of the photographer appeared to have a hook in his lip
.
Beauty queens
Awwwww!
Old South Volvo!
This blog has gotten way too “spidery” of late.
Infamous Southern Hospitality
Infamous Dog
Parade your princess, but…
…rush off the queen.
End of Parade. Look for “After the Parade” coming soon!

Don’t Canadians have parades? Surely it’s not just us crackers down here. Next parade is the 4th of July one. Though it’s pretty hot down here in summer, like 30 c, but usually you can find shade. It’s in a tiny town nearby and only lasts a couple of hours. But the town is a little port city. Very cute, with old houses. Short drive to the beach, but all of here there’s water somewhere.

I don’t know. I can tell how the story will go and it’ll probably be depressing. Dude beats wife, nice new dude falls in love, wife decides that she’s leaving, new dude says I’ll come with you, so they run away, old dude finds em, new dude and him fight and new dude and wife are nearly killed but then new dude kills him. And wife and new dude live happily ever after. And the elephants get some water. The End Thanks for coming by again! Hoping you were just anxious the other day.

Wow that’s a lot of parade pictures. It got me thinking about my early career as a Planter’s Peanut. I could fit right into this parade in my Peanut costume. They didn’t let me keep it unfortunately.

What a feast for the eyes: pink Poodles! Old cars! Southern Belles! Monkey Queens! I would love to have been there. Thanks for bringing this to us, along with your brilliant captions.
I’m OK with clowns, but it’s true that there’s something creepy about them. Pennywise from It, John Wayne Gacy, and Krusty the Clown from The Simpsons. I rest my case.
