Love Parade Santiago

A friend and i got pulled into Santiago's Love Parade this afternoon. The main city avenue of Alemeda was blocked off for the whole day from Plaza Italia, which is about 5 blocks from my house - I can still hear (and feel!) the music pumping and its nearly midnight. Wild! Kind of like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade only less clothes and more techno music. There were babies, dogs, the ubiquitous goths, crowd soaking water hoses, whistles, hot pants, and lots of confetti stuck to it all. Please note especially great mullet on the guy with the yellow ducky.




One of my favorite costumes all day. Bachelet is the socialist female presidential cantidate. Not even politics can escape the Love Parade!
