Halloween Parade, New York City, 2008 (part 2)

This year, the Halloween parade attracted lots of people on a Friday night with rather warm temperatures for the season. I took lots of pictures, from the staging area, starting at around 6 pm, to the end of the parade at 23rd Street around 10 pm. Yes, of course, it was lots of fun, so if you haven't experience this, you should.




Apparently Richard Simons is cloned..

It's only paint, folks, move on now...

I thought this costume (psst, the one below) and the character was great, expressing this year's theme: GHOST.

Fun for all ages..

Getting Political

Most New Yorkers, especially those who came to the parade, support BO, but Mac and Sarah did make an appearance too...

Lots of Floats, Rockin..




Another seance, and floating objects..

Nice Scary Movies at the IFC

playing for ghosts and the living alike...

Isn't this quite artistic?

All good things come an end, so enjoy the journey as long as it lasts....

The police decided mid-parade to ask these girls to cover up their breasts. So, the moral story is, if you want to watch the parade try to line up as near as Spring Street as you can, because apparently the people (and the police) get more sensive north of 14th Street!
