Happening in conjunction with the already-in-progress
Ladyfest New Orleans, the inaugural women-only
YeMaYa walking parade debuts tomorrow at 6 p.m. (check out my story on it
here). Parade marchers represent the city's many women's marching organizations, including the variety of vaginally named ones (
Cameltoe Lady Steppers,
Pussyfooters,
Bearded Oysters), traditional second-line groups (
Lady Buckjumpers,
Lady Rollers) and others (
New Orleans Ladies Arm Wrestling, "a gourp of radical doulas").
The parade starts at Buffa's and ends with a party at the Maison, where parade founder Ann Marie Coviello says should be the best place to watch it. "It’s always so exciting to see a parade come home," she says. "I expect it'll be really fun to see that parade come home and see all these women be like “Yeah, we did it.'”
