Last yhear I particpated supporting friends in the Trade Union float. <BR/><BR/>http://sydneynearlydailyphot.blogspot.com/2006/04/sydney-gay-and-lesbian-mardi-gras.html<BR/><BR/>I love Nathalie's pic!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33308540.post-88848717100974094122007-03-05T17:17:00.000+11:002007-03-05T17:17:00.000+11:00Stewart, I agree, the two missing fingers add a fr...Stewart, I agree, the two missing fingers add a frightening twist to the picture.
