I think the shoes may be combat boots. This is a picture of Thrift Shop shopping taken to the max with a $5 top limit to spend. The bird is just icing on the cake.

HA! Never a dull moment in NYC. I’m with Susan – What kind of shoes did he have on?

I noticed there are “no” comments. You can understand why. How in the world can you comment on that picture? Well, looking at it again, guess there really are many comments. For instance, it looks like he is wearing a halter top under his gown. The gown, that’s a very interesting gown all covered with artificial flowers and held together at the top with a safety pin. Then you have the pigeon roosting on his head, messing up his veil. I’m guessing he keeps bird seed up there for his feathered friends. This is a man with a great deal of self esteem to go out on the streets of of New York dressed like that. A man who likes to call attention to himself. A man who likes to wear dresses. The picture leaves me wondering what kind of shoes he was wearing. Were they heels perhaps?

Its an old man wearing a wedding dress that he found walking the streets of New York City. He put some bird seed on his head to attract the pigeon.

Bobbi Jo,

A familiar figure! This is a man usually seen at Riis Beach, in the Rockaways, with his bird atop his head and miniature poodle (whose fur is dyed to match the man’s beard), strolling down the shoreline. I waved to him just last Saturday from the water. I’d call him “Lady Riis”, or the “Beach Faerie.”

Enjoy the city!

Oh my goodness… a drag queen with a NYC pigeon eating the leftover birdseed off his head from his race to the car through the shower of sendoff birdseed!!!!
