First the floats...
Doug E. Fresh gave me a shout out... he stopped right in front of my window and was like biggups to my peoples watching from their windows... it made me smile... I love me some Dougie
Now on to the dancers
Peep this gay dude that had these little girls dancing all stank-a-dank
which got me thinking, why the heck are all these dance troops led by gay men? What happened to the women dance teachers. I was a flag twirler, baton thrower, and on the dance troop and all my teachers were women... but look how the times have changed
Anyway, here are some kids that can really dance
and this little chunky girl right here... she was the best one out there... and too cute
Then these 40 y.o. women trying to drop it and barely make it had me cracking up
this dancer was so bold... she had so much flab hanging out over everywhere and was standing strong in her bikini top... the pic does her a lot of justice
They also had some dancers on skates... this was my first time seeing them
Now what are dancers without the band
Now you know you can't have a parade without seeing some crazy stuff
And this is for the F*&K It List, please tell your cousins to stop bringing their street work out to the parade...lol
We also had a little martial arts
and then these bad kids with bikes that are always whipping and weaving threw the entire parade... last year a couple of them got jacked up by police... this year they figured instead of terrorizing the parade, they would do a little show
Some Obama supporters
and I'll end with some other random photos

Yes, what did that gay dude teach those girls??? It's sooo much more to dancing than flailing some arms and snappin in circles. Chile Please!
Anywho, I would love to look out my window and see somethin like that!
yeah that's definitely dope that u can look out your window and see the parade.
and ur right dance aint all about shakin yo ass for every dance move....my baby would NOT have been apart of that dance ensemble. to me the little girls were laughin and even looking a lil embarassed
LMAO @ the gay dude dance instructors.
IDK where they came from. They really did come out of nowhere.
You got some nice pictures, Eb. So I guess we'll be adding photography to your repetoire. ;-)
Awesome pics lady!
looks like my people did they thing.
I didn't realize how much I miss the parades until I saw your pictures...Now I can't wait to go home for Mardi Gras!
Looks like a lot of fun - reminds me Bud Biliken parade on the southside of Chicago -
looks like it was a fun parade. thanks for sharing.
Oh and I love the tribute to Sean Bell.
I can tell a gay dude taught them that dance.
Thanks for the update, you are always looking out :)
damn i miss my Harlem. Btw, I am so sorry I'm not in your hood or I would've holla'd for sure. But I might come down for Thanksgiving so if your in the city?
That was not dancing. That was a hott mess. Having those baby's out there doing that stuff.
Interesting parade.
This looks like a cross between Freaknik and the gay parade...lmao, at the gay dance teacher!!!!
oh wow!! That looks like it was FUN! Every single float looked like it was full to capacity... lol
I REFUSE to comment on the Gay dancer and his group.. that was too much!
Where's the mccain float? LOL
But yeah it does look pretty cool to see, evenb though I'm waaay to ansy to watch a parade...
Why havent I heard of this?
Girl, i loved the pics...reminded me of the parades i used to attend back in Gary...that was so much fun!
Great Pics Eb...Thanks for stopping by today..I still love you,
even if you are a Dallas Cowboys fan,ughhh!!! I'll forgive you for that.-lololol. After Football season we can really be friends all the way.
I wish I KNEW where U were, Eb - cuz my girl, DKM & I got caught up in the f&%#ery & fray! Lawd, YOUR people! I had to rest my feet & nerves at Nectar afterwards - u know ANY excuse'll do;-).
PS - in case u missed it & don't know what i'm referring to - i don't know what "broke out" but just as the sun was dropping folk just started runnin' & u know it was WAYYYY too many of us, too much heat, & too many folk under all kinds of influences! It was time for me to GO! I haven't seen anything in the news but did find another blog who reported:
HipHopRepublican. Though, not too sure how much we can believe a republican. lol. ...but there were helicopters & PO-PO ALL OVAH da place when we left the wine spot after 9pm, so I'm glad to see another day & not get caught up in someone else's IGNANCE!
u got some good pics to have been watching from your window! i visited Harlem for the first time last year & i want to go back. NYC as a whole was a nice city.
That looked like a fun parade.....nice pictures...made me wish I was there!
Why is the man with the flame up his ass teaching those kids to dance damn nasty...that was not even funny.
O.K. the old ladies I swear I love to see them in action in a parade. Here we have the May Day parade and those little old ladies come in from all over to march in the parade and every year they make me feel like I need to step up my game...LOL
@CAP - No I had no idea... the parade is like 6 hours long.. I stopped watching around 4 so I could concentrate on football and didn't hear anything... so I guess it wasn't too close to my crib... next time hit me up... you know you can always crash the crib
Dang that looks like madd fun. One time for the martial arts! Yes, some of us Black folx do get into that!! And I'm dyin' at some of these dancers. Reminds me of my many years being in FAMU Homecoming parades. Great pictures!
u know whats sad about the black parade [which is what i call it] ...i see more black-americans at the puertorican and dominican day parades then i see at their own
tsk tsk
I'm reading this and ejoying the pics and the videos all peaceful and whatnot... and then...
you just HAD to mention The F$%K-It List's cousins!!! CHILD I'm laughing soooooo hard remembering those dudes from the yard at Wingate!!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
@jaded - lol, I knew you would get it... everytime I see them now I think of her...lmao!
Oh my goodness I am loving those pics! I wish I was there to see all this first hand.
Loving the pics...and LT's sweater and shirt are cute! I'd wear that. Randomocity - hilarioius!
I know what I was gonna tell you too - we started a book club - www.bloggersread.blogspot.com - check it out.
looks like loads of fun.
also looks like it was long as hell
Cute Halloween outfit! :-)
That R. Kelly interview was TERRIBLE!! I have to watch the parody now. Thanks for posting it, as well as the article on the abortion rate. I like to be informed!
Loved the halloween outfit...
LOL@ men learning how to pee!
R Kelly is still wack as ever
You and I need to switch bodies cause I can't seem to gain any weight and I've been trying...
as a man I can address 2 things:
some of us can iron...but why iron...when you can throw it in the drier...and it'll take care of it for you
Piss stains...I don't know what to tell you...my daddy always said women care about your kitchen and bathroom...so keep it clean boy
The guy in the halloween pic with the big nose is suppose to be Humpty. He made a song called the "Humpty Dance?" The song is like "do me baby...do the humpty hump, do the humpty hump." lol. I know you've heard it. It's from late 80's early or 90's.
@ Stew - it was long as hell... It starting at one and by 4 I was bored... I dont even know when it ended because I took a little nap so I could be fresh for my cowboys game sundy night
@jackie - dont play with me girl... shoot I would take your body over mine any day
All the NYC PArades are crazy though, you didn't say anything about people getting shot so it must of been a good day. The west indian day parade always get shot up
Why is the dog pink? I'm confused
looks like it was a fun day :)
Damn girl...I didn't even know about this.
And this is for the F*&K It List, please tell your cousins to stop bringing their street work out to the parade...lol
Look Ray and 'Dem have to get their Oz type workout somewhere. They said to tell you they ain't trying to do another bid!
HAHAH. The Mr. said he has seen those guys out there every night not just on concert nights.
@ j mcfly - they actually said there was a shooting... later on that night though after it was over and people were still in the streets just hanging out... I didn't hear anything about it though until the next day
@patrice- the dog is purple and IDK why they died it but purple is my fav color so I wanted to steal the little critter... he was so cute
@dollface - sorry girl... you know I would have invited you over... next year I am just going to have a party at the crib because Capcity wants to chill too
@ f it - so I guess your cousins dont have a job then since they are out there all day everyday...lol... that one body was banging though... you see his six pack.. almost forgot for 2 seconds that he's an ex-con...lol
Wow, beats the hell out of our Bud Bilikin parade (simply by you all having a much better and in my opinion meaningful name of your parade in Harlem.)
Oh how I miss NYC.
