Palm Springs Gay Pride

When Florian and I made plans to meet in Palm Springs, I had no idea there would be a Pride parade.


Arko was a tiny pup the last time we saw one another.


Now he's old enough to celebrate Pride with his own vest.


Florian got some face time with The Golden Girls, although Sophia looks as if she's had enough photo ops for a lifetime.


Palm Springs supposedly has the largest LGBTQ population in the country but high temperatures in June delay the local Pride celebration.








Look hard enough and you'll find a few young 'uns among the retirees.


What would Bob & Sonny have to say the festivities?  Cher's hubby served as mayor from 1988 to 1992.



I suspect Dinah Shore attracted a sizable lesbian continent to the area.  The golf and glorious weather helped.




We drove past Dinah's house.  Leonardo DiCaprio paid $5.2 million for it in 2014.


Drag queens are ubiquitous; furry cars not so much.


Check out the cop's bemused expression behind this gal.  She's prettier on fabric than in person.  Her make-up had begun to melt in the desert sun.


Dame Edna chortled.


Meanwhile, Marilyn looks less than thrilled (more about her in the next entry).


The Palm Springs parade added another dimension to camp.  You literally can buy a rainbow tent.  Apparently, that's where bears sleep!
