Their Majesties

This was shot at the assembly point for Sunday's St. Louis Pridefest parade. Once again, these, um, ladies were happy to pose for the camera. They were colorful and engaging. However, they would never be able to get jobs in the philosophy department of the University of Woolloomooloo due to violations of faculty Rules 1, 3, 5 and 7. See also here. What a shame. They might have interesting points of view and special areas of expertise.

PS to Sydneysiders: did I spell the name of the district correctly? Stayed there once years ago at the musically named Woolloomooloo Waters Hotel. More "O" sounds than are reasonably needed by any accommodations.

They are NOT poofters. They are "ladies".

Poofters are people like Mayor Michael Bloomburg, Chief Justice Souter and actor, Kevin Spacey. :-)
