a postcard from the art parade

Wish you were here — were you? The 3rd annual art parade—organized by Deitch Projects, Creative Time and Paper Magazine—made its way down West Broadway Saturday afternoon, and it was so nice to be reminded of a time when Manhattan had yet to be taken over by high-anxiety career-obsessed dullards.

My favorite was the girls with their hair braided together.



There were also marching bands, balloons, and a run away on a raft.





And a sexy troubador with an armful of bracelets.



An egg.



A dreamy dessert cart.



Also oranges shared with the crowd, a sweet-faced horse, and a little red riding hood gang.





Other girls were busy talking on their phones.



Musicians, messages, and balloons are essential for any good parade.
