Lonely” with picture sleeve at the flea market next door, which I thought Tony would love. I brought Ann a Coke and gave it to her after having bought a Bobby Vinton U.S. I met with Scooter and we stopped briefly to visit Ann in her laundromat, and Lenny was also there. I thought the pava and rosary would be a subtle homage to the Puerto Ricans who had died in Orlando. Michael said the outfit needed some sort of rosary, so I opted for my Creed Sterling strand with Swarovski beads, which let the message read clearly through the clear color. I love how they match my Patricia Field clogs, which have become one of my favorite shoes.Ĭombined with the vintage tomato red Coach bag Joel gave me, teal blue pava straw I had worn the day before to Enrique’s, I was ready to see the parade.

Van had gotten me a pair of Memphis-like exercise shorts from Marshall’s in Neptune, where we had gone with Kelly and Henry two weeks ago. I thought doing some hand-lettering with the phrase on a t-shirt would add to the retro spirit I was evoking, one that however seems perfectly contemporary in the face of the recent Orlando event. I was inspired by some images Van sent me from the 1977 San Francisco Gay Parade, where a poster read “GAYS ARE PEOPLE TOO.” They turned out to have a perfect fit and soft fabric. I had gone with Scooter to Lot-Less on lower Broadway and he pointed out a three-pack of U.S. After doing some work in the morning, I decided to make my own t-shirt for a Gay Pride outfit.
