Matthew leads Mardi Gras

I did not attend the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras last night. In the first 20 years of its history I rarely missed but, for the last 10 years, I have found the thought of hours of standing plus the long drive home too daunting.

This year our Gay Olympic hero Matthew Mitcham led the parade.
He wore his Olympic clothes of green and gold along with his medal which my sister thought appropriate.

However I would rather see him like this, much more eye candy and more in keeping with the usual dress standard.
