What We Love Wednesday: Brighton Pride 2013

We have been busy bees lately!! Thought it would slow down in the lead up to IdaHOME in September, but alas!

This last Saturday, we took a last minute trip down to sunny Brighton to attend Brighton Pride (our other fav Pride in the UK!). We dressed in our brand new Wake Up Call Girl T-Shirts, and headed down from London a bit late, as usual. We listened to Britney Spears the whole way down, so needless to say had pretty awesome car dancing parties along the way.

Loving our new Wake Up Call Girls Tees!

By the time we arrived, the parade had already started, but luckily we took our places with Sarah's friend Wally right as the first floats came by.

It was fantastic weather, and the theme was 'icons' so we saw a LOT of Dorothy's and Freddie Mercury's! If we'd had known the theme in advance we would have recycled our princess costumes!

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...

There was a big anti-Russian government theme as well, its always important to bring as much awareness to those around the world suffering and being mistreated because they are LGBT, so we can do whatever we can to help, and also to remind us just how lucky we are to live in Britain.

We always love Brighton Pride, among other reasons because it is even more 'out there' than London. It's alternative, colourful, and everyone just has an amazing time! We love that everyone there means to be there - no excess of tourists accidentally happening upon the parade, just a whole lotta gays!

After the parade, we headed to the seaside to have a drink and cheesy chips, and walk along the beach. Such a gorgeous day!

We checked out Choccywoccydoodah, which smelled delicious, but was just way too expensive for chocolate, at least in our current wedding-planning financial state!

We couldn't stay for the evening party, as we had Sarah's mum coming up to stay over for a spa day Sunday (I know!) but will definitely explore more in future years.

We LOVE Brighton Pride!!
