June 29th the party at screen lounge
After a quick trip to the market to acquire some foods my aunt and I took the subway to spadina station and went to the Chinatown to look around at all the stuff they had there. It was a bustling part of the city for sure as we looked at all the cheap dresses and lots of hello kitty! We had run into one of my aunts friends and from there we figured out where we were meeting up for the parade that was happening in the afternoon. We stopped for lunch at a mcdonalds and then headed to the dollar store to pick up some glasses, bubble wands, feather boas, anything for the pride day parade and made a long walk back toward the infamous yonge street. The parade was amazing and we were lucky to even see any of it with the crowd that was there! after being packed like sardines and making our way to the nearest spot I was able to get a couple pictures and videos but nothing too special I was afraid. Everyone looked amazing and it was so nice to be in a place where there was acceptance for everyone. We then decided to head back towards the village and meet up with another of my aunts roommates and then head home to relax before the big party that was happening later on in the day. It was also a great time to get a shower and wash the stickiness of my skin from the exhausting heat of the city streets. I had a makeover done by my aunt as I put on my new dress I had bought from Chinatown and then we took the subway to her friend whom I met he other day at the green space party and due to some inconveniences had to walk partly way to him and then towards the party ya screen lounge. This place was amazing upstairs on the patio we barely even noticed when they had taken the roof off to gaze up at the night sky as we all lounged in chairs and people helped themselves to vodka and other liquor delights. I sat with my aunt as we talked and chatted with a nice friend who came from the Caribbean and joked about how he traded the warmth for the cold and that it was his first time in Toronto as well. As events transpired the beautiful drag queens of the night arrived and the party officially started. We all got up to dance to the music of the dj and watched as the ladies of the night preformed with such vigour it was amazing. I myself got grinded against to a song of lady marmalade and got myself spanked by a gay man who told me I looked stunning and fierce in my new dress. Also best part of being at the party there were gift bags to take home for when you left.
