Summer is the best time for all you men out there. We girls get to watch you guys stomp around pissed off in suits, while you guys get to watch half naked women gallivanting around all day in miniskirts, jean underwear, and on those glorious sweltering days, just their swim suits.

Well, if this is what you're into, you'll have to check out the nation's largest art parade, The Mermaid Parade.

NYC, there has never been another parade that is more suited for you. What, you might ask, does this art parade have to do with women in scantily clad clothes? Pretty much everything…

On June 20th head out to Cony Island to see the beautiful world of bizarre done right. The Mermaid Parade, first strutting the streets of Cony Island in 1983, not only brings mythology (or reality… we want to see some proof that mermaids don't exist) to life, but it also celebrates a beautiful community and amazing group of artists.

While enjoying a Nathan's hotdog bask in the glory of thousands of glitter soaked, half naked mermaids floating down the parade route. And, if the women aren't enough, the vintage muscle cars rolling through the parade are sure to excite your senses.

So head out to Cony Island this month for a celebration like you've never experienced. Who knows maybe you'll even catch yourself a mermaid... or merman.
