Gays, Lesbyterians, and Trannies...Oh My!

Well, the Mistress and Boy-Toy survived yet another whirlwind weekend up in the Harrisburg area for the Central Pennsylvania Pride Fest. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful for the weekend. This year this Pride parade went down the main street of Second Street and then wrapped around and down beautiful Front Street along the river to the festival. Now, we hadn't been to the Pride festivities in about 3 or 4 years up there so it was a major deal to see it go down Second which is a very busy through fare as is Front Street. It just shows how the community has grown. It was the usual things you see at most Pride festivals with the community booths, Pride vendors with souvenirs, and concessions, and of course drag shows. This year the headliner was the singer Tiffany who we didn't see.















We were only there for a short time as we then headed north to visit the Boy-Toy's family and see yet another parade, but this one was complete with fire engines, tractors, Shriners, and Miss Dairy Cheese! The Mistress was like what the hell is this? But it was very nice to just spend time with his family and then it was time to go back to Harrisburg for a lovely time of clubbing and cock-a-tails. We met up with our friends the Capital Street Duo, who are ALWAYS a good time! The Mistress Borghese was all set to make a appearance too, and then it got hot as hell in the latter half of the day and very humid, so that night no drag queens made it out. And the cha-cha palace was even hotter! The Mistress's face probably would have slid right off! Ah, well at least the coif is already done till the next time. It was so nice to see faces we hadn't seen in some time too! Well, we lasted till about 1:30 and the heat was just awful inside the joint so we left to go home. The rest of the weekend was spent just relaxing and of course the weekend wouldn't be complete until the Mistress had a little cookout on the grill for the Mother, Aunt and Uncle. So I decided to grill some lovely salmon steaks and prepared with fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, a little salt and pepper and then topped with lemon slices and grilled those suckers. Yum was it good!



So a pretty fun weekend with family, friends, and some cute boys. Now we just have to get some rest this week, because the Mistress and Boy-Toy are going to a Roman toga party next weekend complete with bed sheets! Tootles!

  7. Girl, I love that you used our favorite term "Lebysterians". I just used that the other day at work and everyone thought I was crazy. They said what's that??? I told them to figure it out. Might have something to do with them showing up on the second date with a U-Haul???? Anyway, the parade gets more awesome every year and I loved it. PEACE.
