This... is... MARDI GRAAAAA!!!!

Title speak all for itself. Haha.
Delaqroux Inc Updates!

Ah.. yes, If there's one thing in your to-do list when you're in Sydney is definitely attending Mardi Gras, the gay/lesbian parade. Well, truth is, i never really know there is such thing goin on in Sydney and i thought if there's such thing as gay or lesbian or all this crazy subculture parade-ish, it will be in the U.S (all my friends from the United States, i know this is kind of sterotyping but hey, it's pretty much a compliment too). Regardless, yeah, we ventured to the City for the Mardi Gras parade and here'll be updates!

As a side note here, alot of those people who have been to Mardi Gras parade the year before warned us to be careful as things can get pretty ugly... ecspecially for the guys. Wait, what does that supposed to mean? This is when i recalled what Madam Caroline Yong was talking to me about me being small and look... well.. cute-ish (i didnt say this! It was her, i swear!), attracting girls to be your girlfriend is one thing.. accidentally attracting gay guys in a major another. So, i was like, uiks! I dont wanna get gay raped!! Thanks to such thoughts clouding up my head, i started running to and fro (figuratively), thinking whether should i be attending the parade or not. The moment of truth calls when finally one of my friends asked me if i am attending Mardi Gras tomorrow. I was expecting everyone to be attending actually and to be a left out is kinda sad. So i just swallowed back my fear and, with my utmost manly voice, i went, "Why not?"

So yep, there was all this saying about human being paranoid and believing in rumours a little too much, right? In this case, it does for me but i still ended up in Mardi Gras anyway. There was some disturbing sight upon my arrival there. Mostly when we're passing through Hyde park, there was some sighting of guys only in their T-underpants, guys and girl in skimpy mistress and sex slave outfit, people wearing all sorts of costumes...only to leave their backside naked exposed and finally, ah... yes... all homophobias favourite (this goes for you too, Adam), a dude 90% naked but in what suggestively seems to be a sailor outfit (Kill Bill shocked BGM). When we finally reaches Oxford Street, i position myself somewhere deep within the audiences, not to be so visible to anyone in hope that none of those guys.. or well... gays see me. But Alia wanted a better view so she moved all the way to the front and i followed. Eheheh..

But its not all that bad after all. Of course the parde began with all sorts of crazy outfits and acts but it was fun to see all those un-straight people full of their gay/lesbian energy passing by us, dancing, acting, singing or just plain smiling and waving at us. Obviously, there was some disturbing sights in which may not be appropriate if you're among those people who really.. well.. new to the harsh world of gay and lesbians but in all, it was nice to see such effort being put into raising their message to the public in a clean.. okay, i have to cross that out- it wasnt really all that "clean".. fun way. Standing for 3 and a half hours of waiting and reserving the front row seat was worth it and yeah, this is the first time ever that i was crazily taking pictures and recording everything that my camera ran out of battery. So you can guess how worthwhile the sightseeing was =D

P/S: There was some dudes fighting over some girl while we were waiting at the bus stop and one of those guys went like, "Oi, you wanna fuck w'me?? You wanna fuck w'me??" to the other guy... For one thing, the parade earlier today was promoting unity, peace and love so, these guys really ruin up the atmosphere. And secondly, why not tell that to the gay sex master and slaves and yeah, maybe you all can literally be fucked :p
