The Mermaid Parade 2022
Coney Island, Brooklyn

After a two-year in-person hiatus, finally the Mermaid Parade returned to Coney Island, Brooklyn!

That meant I need to transform into a mermaid… starting with my hair. Well, I suppose it was mostly not my hair. But it sure made me want to grow it out!

Now if my hair ever just stayed dark brown, the blend would have been a bit more natural.

“Flip your goddamn hair…”

Waiting for my ride… here outside of my cave you can see how reddish my real hair is

Our staging apartment with a great view

All done, now time to rally the gang

First shot!

Ready to go

Finally got our wristbands

Got to get a new skirt for next year… I spent so much time hiking this up all day

Our 4th year of marching together…

The crowd is all about good vibes

It was a very windy day

A soul sister I connected with instantly

That’s a wrap!

Until next year, mermaids!
