Mermaid Parade, Coney Island, NY

Costume

   TML. TMLB. TMLC.

Actions
   This hardy group prepares themselves and their ship-float (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). At the bow is a topless, body-painted mermaid (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) with her prize catch hanging in a net (21, 22, 23, 24). Starfish mermaids and mermen grab their ropes pull it down the street (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31).

Commentary
   The string halters resonate on the starfish pasties theme of other paraders. Lots of marine life about!
