While the Rose Parade offered a fleet of gorgeous and meticulously crafted floats, we found it lacking a sufficient number of transvestites. The 32nd annual Doo Dah Parade might be the only community-organized procession that involves people in ape suits playing bagpipes, Satan on a motorcycle and innumerable suburban drag queens. Local personality Charles Phoenix is this year’s giddy grand marshall, and we’re hoping the Men of Leisure napping drill team comes back this year. We’re also hoping nobody with a towering afro wig stands in front of us. Though the parade commences sometime after the organizers have their morning martinis but before their first nap, we say get there early for the all-you-can eat $7 pancake breakfast at 8 a.m.
Parade begins at N. Raymond Ave. at E. Holly St., Pasadena; 11:30 a.m.; free
