Musings from the God of Cities

i was walking around the east village yesterday and came across the 2007 new york city santacon santas hanging out at tompkins square park, drinking and getting high being jolly. i didn't know santacon was going on, and i hadn't planned on being out all day taking pictures so i didn't take a shit-ton of pictures like i would have had i been a bit more prepared. here's what i did get pictures of:

southern gentleman santa


"naughty" shirtless santa who goodnaturedly gave me shit about taking his picture because he had his shirt off. (he totally rubbed his nipple and everything!)


this trio of make-up santa, wonder-woman santa and uhm... kinda totally over this whole thing santa


i took this picture of the wonder woman santa climbing over the fence

and had to rationalize to myself that it's not mean to post because she's wearing a star on her hiney, and you know... no pants. i think she's ok with people seeing her tush. besides, like 4 people look at this blog.

there was this lady santa making out-ish with a humbug santa.


but (apparently) santacon isn't just about santas and drinking beer and smoking weed in the park spreading holiday cheer. it's also about ancillary christmas characters and things such as

rudolph the red nosed reindeer... who is on strike or something


happy, friendly christmas elves


mean and surly christmas elves


hipster christmas tree

who, incidentally, had a whole dick-in-a-box thing going on.

this sort of queen-of-winter or something


and this lady who, i'm guessing was going for a poinsetta look of something?

mostly, i just like the way the picture came out.
