a little samba and a little yosakoi

joined a bunch of middle aged pervs with telescopic lens cameras in Asakusa to catch the Samba festival.




besides the scantily clad women, there were bands:



it was a very lively parade:





it's the pirate game!


and lots of dancing:





the "viewers" take a break from all of the "documentation":




Samba royalty:




lady with pasties was verrrry popular with the boys:











all in all, it was just waaaaaaay too crowded to enjoy myself. i couldn't get in a comfortable position to take good pictures (had a dude's camera bag in my side the entire time).

cut out after a couple hours to head over to Harajuku to have coffee with the gay husband. we chilled out for a while and caught a bit of the yosakoi dancing being held on the stage in front of Meiji shrine:


it was getting a bit late and dark in the afternoon which screwed with my exposure a bit. no, didn't fix if before posting these. sorry!






very lively and fun!
