The current incarnation of the Coney Island Mermaid parade started in 1983. The parade pays homage to the tradition of the Coney Island Mardi Gras parades of the very early 20th century. The Mermaid parade is well-known for extraordinary marine costumes, and for the occasional partial nudity (legal in New York state). Mermaids and sea creatures of every shape and size are represented, and the audience is festive and appreciative.

"It's not Rock n' Roll if your pants don't hurt!" Meet Jimmy Webb of Trash and Vaudeville - the sales icon of leopard print, neon, bondage pants, studs, skulls, fabulous-vinyl-tranny-pumps and all things TRULY, classically Punk Rock. Since 1975, Trash is where stars like Iggy, Alice Cooper and Debbie Harry ACTUALLY shop. It's what Hot Topic only dreams it could be…a world famous East Village landmark with authentic, down and dirty Rock n' Roll "savoir faire".
