Rainbow over Rio


One of the reasons of meeting up in Rio de Janeiro with Thomas last weekend was the Gay Parade on Copacabana beach. I expected some beautifull drag queens, handsome halfnaked boys and good music but didn't plan to stay for the whole day.

Now, I have to confess that we were definately one of the last ones to leave the 'crime scene' ;-) It was without doubt one of the best parties I attended, ever. First of all the location is just perfect, right at Copacabana beach in front of the beautifull backdrop of the sugarloaf and the 'cidade maravilhosa', the marvelous city. Nothing better than relaxing on the beach after dancing the night away. (By the way, it is amazing how Brazilians can dance in thongs - its an art of its own!) Second, my fear that I would be totally lost between snogging halfnaked boys and intimidating lesbians didn't came true - on the contrary, I met so many interesting and lovely people, gays, lesbians as well as straight people and it was actually quite nice to meet lovely and handsome men that asked for your number without the intention of getting you into bed ;-)

Last but not least the party had its fair share of handsome halfnaked hetero sexual boys who were happy to be 'protected' from the gay boys by a lady ;-)
