Santa Con

So D and I went to a par-tay tonight in Brooklyn, which involved a somewhat lengthy subway ride, and the cars were filled with Santas! At first we thought they were Salvation Army folk, but some of them were in full drag, complete with red stilettos, and others were in "blueface" (like Blue Man Group). Apparently, some of them were chanting, "Ho Ho Ho" at one station, and it was described as "amusing and intimidating."

The party was fun; the dogs were a little over-excited, and a stray paw on my stomach made me nervous, but nothing happened. The food was yummy. I tried a date/semolina/rosewater concoction that was like an upscale Fig Newton.

Anyway, it turns out the Santas were part of a convention, called Santa Con, and they have a parade. Around Halloween, there was Zombie Con.

Hi,
New here. :) That subway experience certainly sounds 'interesting.' Glad you enjoyed the party. Did you get the recipe for that date thing?

Welcome :) Actually, the girl who brought them got them from a bakery, on 9th & 49th in NYC.

I"d like to see Santa in drag.

It was kind of scary! He was tall anyway, and then the heels added about 5 inches.

Good thing they weren't in Australia. Santas in drag chanting "Ha Ha Ha" wouldn't be nearly as amusing.

I actually thought of that! I was like, Santa can't say that in Australia.

The tranny Santa made me laugh. :)

He even had a small metallic doll's head on top of his hat ;)
