This is my 3rd Mermaid parade, and like everything I do more than once, I try to have a different experience of it the next time around. Over the last year I've grown so much with photography, but none of it will have matter too much when it comes to photographing a parade in the afternoon sun.

Been a while since I had some leisure time to go see a show, so I spent the evening checking out the monthly "1st Thursday of the Month" Burlesque show hosted by New York Pinup Club.

The NY Pinup Club, which can be found on Meetup.com hosted one of their monthly Burlesque shows this evening. The featured girls were : Cherry La Voix (from Ohio) Dottie Dynamo Lady Liza and Lone Starlet. If you ever hear these ladies' names anywhere, go check em out. more photos can be seen here
