I got down there Thursday night and stayed at a friend's home in Big Pine Key. We went down to Key West on Friday afternoon for a few hours. Then, on Saturday we went for the parade. We booked a balcony at a private place to see all of the sites without being in the crowd.

As expected, the costumes were elaborate. A ton of naked people running around in body paint. We saw some of our lovely ladies from TER there with the most beautiful body painting I have ever seen. There were funny costumes, scary costumes, a ton of nudity and a ton of drinking!  A fun time was had by all!

It didn't take me long before I left for my trip to realize I needed a vacation...therefore, I wouldn't have taken appts. and I didn't.  This was the best vacation I have had in a long time.

Years ago I have heard of FF and wanted to go and am thrilled I finally got to experience this with like minded people!! Nothing compares to being around a bunch of people who are open minded and are confident in who they are NO matter if you are athletic built to average to larger and from the ages of in your 20's to in your 80's!!!

I went with 3 of my girlfriend's and we were worried about the storm so chose to leave a little later on Thursday.  We hit quite a few bands on the way down however we arrived safely. At first we thought Thursday night would be partying at the house but it didn't stop us...soon we were heading to Duval Street!!!..It was very very windy & muggy but hey we are in Florida.

The entire trip was major partying (even having some shots of things I have never drank before...haha), dancing at our favorite place every night (Rick's was the bomb!!!), thousands & I mean thousands of people, costumes that were just out of this world. It amazed me at how much time and $ people invested into their outfits. Alot of times you will see groups with the same themes, people who were in nothing but body painting (oh yea saw some camel toe with nothing on...haha!

I knew I wanted to do some body painting but wasn't sure till the last minute when I said "F*** it"...I am going for the whole chest and I am happy I did.Oh grant you it was not cheap but worth the fun that I had with it!!
**See the pic in tata tuesday for the chest..they even did my face...obviously it's cropped..**

The parade was unbelievable and I got ton's of beads...damn I never even flashed my tits!!!

Sadly though all 3 of the girls I was with and a local gent I met while there (go figure) are all sick and I am feeling wonderful and refreshed.

I am saddened that I got to miss Sexi Toni, Summersfun and SexyLinda. We tried a few times to see each other but it just didn't happen.

Guaranteed I will make this an annual trip...if you have not experienced this shame shame!!! Trust me do it...
