I don't know about you, Maciek, but people in Cardiff see to be nuts, pleasantly nuts, that is, I guess. Where the heck did he steal this outfit? Or was this the gay pride parade perhaps ;-)
I guess you're OK ;-)

Love it. The funniest thing for me (apart from the dress, the lilac cowboy hat, granny shoes and chest hair!) is his deadly serious expression. Excellent!

saintbob says:

Comical but serious. Composition is excellent as well. In a funny way he has the same resigned chubby face haloed with feathers as one of Brassaits old ladies drinking in a Parisian bar.

As an admin type person for Street Portraitist I have access to this nifty invite button! I'd love to see this image join our group pool. Flickr automatically adds something to this message about reading the rules of the group first but don't worry about that.

I'd also like a billboard sized copy of this pasted on a billboard across the road from my house, and if possible at several other locations around my town!

there is a touch of the Fatty Arbuckle , in his drunken alcoholic haze there is a momentary recognition that he looks absolutely stupid, this is the ultimate party capture and a reminder to oneself never to wear fancy dress

Mike Vidales says:

the funny thing is that people in our society are calling this normal and they want us to accept these gay people. fuck that, its not normal, its not natural, it makes no sence.
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

saintbob says:

There is nothing in this photo to say the subject is gay or otherwise, he is most likely a straight man on a stag night, a heterosexual dressed up for a laugh. the English have a habit of dressing up as women since the times of Shakespeare, when women were not allowed on stage. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, just wanted to point out that Michael Vidales is jumping to a conclusion and that means his opinion is immediately invalid.
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

martinnicholls says:

@michael vidales: I don't know which is funnier, your flailing bewilderment at the many forms of human sexuality or your conviction that at least you know your enemy - because of course all gay people wear comedy dresses and cowboy hats.

Stupid on so many levels. I'm almost impressed.
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

Annie (falling asleep at the wheel) says:

They're everywhere, Michael. You should be careful. The person sitting next to you on the bus could be one. The person behind you at Starbucks.. maybe.. it's hard to tell because they don't always order frothing lattes or gay macchiatos. Anyone could be "a gay".

It's probably safest for you if you keep your back to the wall and your eyes peeled. You should thank the guys wearing pink dresses and cowboy hats, at least you can spot them a mile away. It's the silent gays who are your biggest danger.

Watch out man.
