Mermaid Parade, Coney Island, NY June 23, 2002 MPA2J6 Costume Blue tape pasties and shorts. Navel pierce. TML. N-2. Actions The lady in the middle holding the sign is Any Gunderson (1, 2), and the reason everyone is taking her picture (3, 4) is because last year she was arrested here at the Mermaid Parade for wearing only body paint and a tanga. But just recently she was acquited by a Brooklyn judge who agreed that women are entitled to expose their breasts, particfularly when particfipating in an artistic exhibiton like the Mermaid Parade. None the less, this year Amy is wearing two blue tape pasties (5, 6) and leading a brigade of "Legalize Dancing" marchers (7, 8). Amy strikes poses for the hords of photographers, friends, and fans (9, 10, 11, 12, 13), and stretches her torso (14) for a belly shot (15). But make no mistake, the object of the day is her pasties (16) because that's what the city has made her famous for (17, 18). Commentary Everybody asks Any why she is wearing pasties, especially after she won her case and she replies, "they want me to wear pasties, so I'm wearing pasties from now on!"
