review

Glitter, feathers, balloons, sequins and skimpy shorts must be in short supply after this year's Sydney Mardi Gras parade 2008... the floats and their performers were gathering from lunchtime down on the closed off Elizabeth Street where the party was in full swing as everyone put the final touches on their parade entries. The afternoon was a gorgeous one - so the speedos were out and less was definitely more.
