Halloween Downtown Orlando = Freak Show
Growing up in New Orleans, one grows very accustomed to strange sights on regular days. Kids sucking on pacifiers at school... grown men wearing diapers or being led around by dog collars... wigs in shades representing the rainbow... all of this can be found somewhere in the city on any given day. Orlando on the other hand is different. I go to dinner in a pink wig and I get asked when my shift begins on OBT (for those of you not from Orlando, OBT is where you can find our lovely "ladies of the night" any evening after 6pm). Get my gist? My point is that Orlando is much calmer. Much tamer. That is... except on Halloween. The freaks come out in full force this evening and Em and I had front row seats... heck we even jumped into character ourselves for a few hours!
I wasn't planning to do Halloween this year. I haven't since living downtown. But with Emily in town, we decided to get costumes and join the festivities on Saturday night. I'm glad we did. What a fun night. As a friend said "What happens on Halloween, Stays on Halloween"... so that's as much text as this blog is getting on the subject. But I will share a few photos.
