Mermaid Parade

We went on an outing to the Mermaid Parade on Coney Island today! It was so fun! We saw the parade on the boardwalk. Everyone dressed up like sea creatures of sorts/ or dressed down like they had recently sprung forth from the sea... but this is a family friendly site and I will not go any further into that.
Mer-Maids----- get it? Mer-MAIDS?! :)Nemo Sushi! Jelly Fish
Those ladies were boardwalk waffle cones! (the other two are both men no matter what the wigs make them look like, please do not be alarmed)Even the majority of the audience was dressed up in some form!

We also rode the Wonder Wheel and the Tilt-A-Whirl!!!
This is Ashley, Jessi (who is also interning here in fashion from State at Elle Magazine) and Me.
Then we stood in line for an hour to get a famous Nathan's Hot Dog! It was totally worth it. Man, was that hot dog good.

Because this day is Coney Island's busiest day of the year (probably equivalent to New Orlean's Mardi Gras) there were thousands of people at the parade, thousands of people at the beach, and probably a thousand more people at the amusement park! It was a blast, but now I'm pooped!
