Drag Queen 2
These pictures were taken on Shrove Tuesday on Munich's food market - the Viktualienmarkt. Every year on the morning of this day, the market women perform a dance performance that draws an enormous crowd, and even TV stations are covering the event.
The most remarkable thing about this gathering however isn't the dance performance - it's the wide variety of people who come and celebrate together, often in very colorful, remarkable, and sometimes even crazy costumes. This gathering of people is a wild mix of carnival, Christoper Street day, political parody, eccentricity and sometimes sheer exhibitionism. Definitely a must-see if you're in Munich on this day.
