Description


In honor of Gay Pride Month, and the fact that the 41st Annual GLBT Pride Parade is being held in Chicago, tomorrow, I thought I’d get into the spirit of things and do a few posts from Pride parades past. The character you see here really is a character: Gay humorist, historian, and all around agent provocateur, Sukie de la Croix. I’ve known Sukie for nearly 20 years and we frequently get up to—how shall I say this?—the writer’s version of naughty schoolboy behavior. When I made this picture on the train to the 2007 Pride Parade, Sukie had just snatched this rather impressive crown from a flamboyant and momentarily incensed drag queen’s head. This picture was made in Chicago, on the Ravenswood/Brown Line train on June 24th, 2007.

The Queen of England never looked so hairy! This is a fantastic shot and I rather like that stratosphere-reaching tiara. I wish you'd gotten a shot of the miffed drag queen, that would have been quite classic. As it stands, this shot is quite classic, and I'm amused that there's a Blue Man Group advertisement way off in the background! I zoomed in trying to figure out why there was a mysterious pair of eyes staring in through the train windows. I like the light in this! Public transportation light is always distinct.

Oooooooohh ... I can just imagine the drag queen. I don't need to see a picture to know how dramatically miffed she was! LOL! This is a great shot of your friend. I remember him from years past, and it's nice to see him again. Have a fun time at Pride! :*
