I've found that participating IN the Village Halloween Parade is a lot more fun than spectating at it. This year was the 33rd occurence of it. Apparently, it's the largest in the country.
PS: The spider stays in the tower all year long.
I ran into this guy on the subway home from work. Every year, he buys another real piece of armor and replaces the plastic version.
I also saw this group on the subway. They were very lost.
So I was very surprised when I saw them again IN the parade.
Pee Wee, riding his bike
the winking vampire
an evil sith
Alfalfa and his dog spot
Pac-Man and Ms Pac Man
every girl in the crowd knew who these two were, Tiffany jewelry boxes
a real life Jack O' Lantern. Yes, it's a real pumpkin
the Queen (she was recommending the recent movie BTW)
the "flasher" was having a ball. She even flashed a cop who couldn't help cracking a smile
Madonna and her recent adoptee
a delicate large ballerina
Depp in various incarnations
I loved this headless guy, his costume really worked
Papa Smurf was a big hit with the crowd
Bat Dog
I'm not sure what to make of this. That's a very large Barbie doll
Tom Cruise and future wife
Hands all over the dress
This was the second or third set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
There were lot of Maria Antoinettes, though I'm not sure these two were actually trying to be her.
Spoon Man
Scary Shadow

Y'know, love our gays in West Hollywood, but their annual Halloween parade has become waaay over the top. It's more gauche than anything. I think. But this...This is a Halloween parade! These costumes are very original and fun. Thanks WIS!
