Oh Snap!
This year's Halloween Parade was a little smaller and a little shorter than in previous years, but not even strong cold winds could keep New Yorkers away from this much anticipated annual event.
Our favorite costumes were the most topical, there were rescued Chilean miners aplenty, there were some BP-themed oil slicked birds and fish mongers, the Tea Party was there in spirit (as what else, an actual tea party), and none other than the Bed Intruder, Antoine Dodson.
Facsimiles of rock and pop icons roamed the streets, we spotted a black Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Russell Brand, the littlest Lady Gaga (and a very disturbing Papa Gugu), The Beatles, dozens of Michael Jacksons and the fantastic video re-enacters who tirelessly performed "Thriller" and "Beat It" for the eager crowds.
Metromix favorites the Kostume Kult pulled out all the stops for their float, populating it with their Voodoo Boogaloo partygoers and the party tunes. Johnny Depp impersonators seemed to dominate the evening with Mad Hatters and Edward Scissorhands stumbling around every block, and in an odd twist of fate/rumor Mr. Depp himself was supposedly on the "second to the last" float.
And not in costume at all, gubernatorial candidate Kristin Davis came as herself. We want to know where Jimmy McMillan was. --Gabi Porter
