ZIP A DEE DOO DAH ----- HERE'S A PARADE TO ASSAULT YOUR SENSIBILITIES AND TICKLE YOUR FUNNY BONE
The Doo Dah Parade which has aptly been described as "a cross between The Little Rascals and a Fellini movie," started in 1978 as a good-natured spoof of the annual Rose Bowl Parade and is famous for its novel and off-beat entries such as the Synchronized Briefcase Marching Drill Team shown in the picture above. This zany extravaganza will take place Nov. 20 in Pasadena, CA. Candidates for queen include: 1) Naughty Mickey, a sword swinging dominatrix, 2) Officer Kelley, a cross-dressing nurse/policeman, 3) A blow-up doll brought by someone who calls himself Hollywood Divine, 4) Princess Mia, who dresses like a bee and buzzes around the stage, 5) Sheila, Queen of the Jungle, who does bird sounds, 6) The Swami from El Monte, who works with snakes but does not make snake sounds. Sounds like a good old-fashioned, down home parade, doesn't it ??
