Bay to Breakers 2014, San Francisco

Hi,

So out of the blue my friend, who I haven't seen in years, said hi and invited me to hang out with her friends at the parade. Looked up some pics and thought, cool!, I'm in!

I think I went to sleep ~1:30am that morning, but we had to meet up in Fremont to take the 7:20am bart, which was a ~40min drive for me, so I got like 4 1/2 hrs of sleep... sigh. Well, on the bart she handed me a pink cowboy hat... alright, I can do that, ha ha. When we arrived in SF we went to the Craftsman & Wolves and picked up some Rebel Withins (look it up!) and mmm, I was feelin' good... So we walked to her friend's place and next thing I know I was wearing a tutu!!! WTF!?!? Yeah, and a pink lei too... but a tutu? Damn!...

...And then I spent the whole day mesmerized and happy, showing off my pretty tutu and robust figure to the thousands of on-watchers, completely oblivious to being a cross-dresser!...

Thank you to all my costumed freaky friends for making my first couple months of moving up North to the Bay Area all worth it!

Here are some "safe" pictures:

Bay to Breakers 2014

Well, these are.....different. This is the type of thing that simply could not happen here in North Carolina. Too much religion, not enough fun.

It looks like you captured the spirit of the event very well. I'm glad you had a fun day.

thanks!

this event definitely represents the personality of San Francisco. this would not be the most extreme example though... look up Folsom Street Fair:

you would not believe that Folsom is actually a public event held in a city! there, you can even get "services" in public.........

So true but at least you're the home of the Shag.

The Shag? Maybe I'm not following the news closely enough, but I have no idea what that is.

Great shots.

I used to go to Bay to Breakers but gave up a few years back. Mostly it's a matter of getting back from there...

I've been using the weekend for Maker Faire for the last several years anyway.
