2014 Easter Parade
The Easter Parade is one of the best gatherings of spring. You could be forgiven for thinking it’s a stuffy, stodgy affair. In reality, it’s a stage for creativity, and for creative types who love to be seen. At its essence, it’s a flamboyant block party—there is no marching in this parade. And, it all takes place in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral on 5th Avenue.

I see this Asian couple at gatherings around town. They must frequent public gatherings in their garb, which is different each time.
I have no earthly idea what he's going for here, but it does stand out.
I call him Hypnoman.
Guuuurl... you can be anything you want at the Easter Parade, and I love it.
