One comes in red (2, 3, 4); her pasties are round and her otherwise bare breasts are supported by underwire (5). The one in the blue tanga (6) has a tiara (7), a pasty in her navel (8), and a small tattoo on her butt (9, 10). Her pasties are star-shaped (11). The twosome wrap themselves in their tails (12, 13) and snuggle into a float. Once in the parade (14, 15) they will be pulled along by a human beast of burden named Chet (16). They wave as the crowds cheer (17, 18, 19). After they finish the judging they pose for pictures, two at a time (20). Commentary Pasties have previously been spotted today (MP9641), and more will also be spotted along the parade route (MP9692)! Source Wildlife. 20 pictures. |
