Sydney's gay Mardi Gras to paint the town green
A PINKER SHADE OF GREEN ?
"Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, one of the biggest of its kind in the world, is going green this year with a message to Australians that they must take action to protect a threatened environment.
Centerpiece of the parade on Saturday night will be a giant replica of planet Earth, split into two with one half barren and decaying, and the other bright and colorful to symbolize hope. There will also be all the usual razzmatazz, with a 250-strong posse of Kylie Minogues, a band of gay Sydney lifesavers and a six-story high Trojan Horse all helping to pave the city's streets with glitter.
'We've got 250 Kylie Minogues. Lots of boys love Kylie,' said event organizer Marcus Bourget of the popular Australian showgirl.
A record 7,500 people will take part in this year's parade, with hundreds of thousands of spectators expected to line the 1.6-km (mile-long) route."
