Scenes from the 2013 Mermaid Parade

You funded it, you got your money’s worth. Or at least we hope you feel like you did. Saturday’s Mermaid Parade had everything an attendee could hope for: face tattoos, big crowds, muscle cars, ribald politics and of course, mermaids. If there was any doubt about Sandy, or even Applebee’s, putting a damper on the day, it was obliterated the moment you saw your first pair of painted boobs or man with a plastic baby sticking out of his crotch. You’ll get that one in a second, with plenty of pictures after the jump.
