Postponed from its usual date in November, Pasadena's other Parade kicks off at 11:30am this Sunday, Jan. 20th at the corner of Raymond & Holly Aves. in Old Towne. The hot tip from me - take the Gold Line train to the Memorial Park station & avoid the hassle of traffic and parking - you'll be glad you did! See listing below for info. on the official parade post-party. And h ere's a photo of this year's DOO DAH QUEEN - NAUGHTY MICKIE - professional belly dancer and sword handler extraordinaire, with yours truly - Doo Dah Queen 1993!__________________________________________________________________________________________________
