So its the Euro pride this week end in the big City thats paved with gold, and broken whistles. The parade starts at Marble arch 1pm and goes to Trafalger Square and Leister Square, it should be fun hopefully, last years pride was disrupted with events leading up to the day.
A day when guys and girls can dress up or down in any way they want and go wild.
I have not had time to check the history of Euro Pride out as well as other places it has been held so can anyone help on this.

Well it looks as though the weather is going to be great for tomorrows event, acording to the press one hundred and seventy thousand people should be in the parade with more floats than ever.
A sea of colour, costumes,and parading Queens in the City.

Not fun for everyone

Doesn't seem to be provoking discussion on it, just another little allegory to brighten up our day...

Well it was a fantastic day, very hot and sticky? I left Plymouth 4 am to get to London at 9 am, the parade started at around 1-15 pm (so I managed to catch up on local shops and Soho) one of the biggest of its kind in London. For most of the afternoon London centre was closed to traffic untill about 4pm, there where more guys in speedos than you can shake a stick at. Drag Queens,beef cakes and muscle maries, painted torsoes, wild dresses, and in some cases no dresses, a naked guy in the fountains at trafalger square.
Pink Union flags as Britan lost the football match.He.
A voice from a girl in the crowed shouted Hay I know you, you are from Plymouth, it was a girl from Plymouth who left the city to join her girl friend in London
I ran a marathon up and down the procession taking loads of pictures as well as video,
A guy tried to show me around his pink double decker bus whilst the procession was in full swing, he was trying to sell it to me and showed me the pscychodelic light system up staires, as guys in white scimpy shorts ran past us on the bus.
It all moved on to Trafalger Square.
I left trafalger square as I thought that just talking about the politics of being gay at such an event was a bit of an anti climax.
Great to see Ken Livingstone though.
A great day with a lot of photographic and usable memories, and well worth going.
I got back to Plymouth at 5 am in in a ragging thunderstorm the next morning.
Not sure how much the pink Union jacks are but I would like to own one.

I am just wondering Ben why you dont talk about your experiences of the industry and life related experiences, but attack others that do.
People learn more about fashion lifestyle and culture by talking about these things, not just attacking others for the sacke of it.
