(10-03) 17:19 PDT San Francisco -- Thousands of people dressed in neon wigs, sparkly butterfly wings, tutus - or occasionally nothing at all - and danced, hula hooped and hugged their way down San Francisco's Market Street on Saturday for the city's sixth annual celebration of love.
Based on Berlin's Love Parade, San Francisco's LoveFest was renamed this year to LovEvolution to avoid legal action from the promoters of the Love Festival in Los Angeles who had trademarked their name. But potential lawsuits - or the dire economy or the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - didn't appear to be on anybody's mind.
"It's people coming together, having fun, dancing their asses off and just forgetting the world's troubles for a day," said Sterling Alexander, who danced wearing silver devil horns affixed to his bald head and red, feathery wings.
Also celebrating were several people dressed as hot dogs, a man in a furry pink outfit walking on stilts, a girl giving out free hugs and bare-chested men offering free kisses.
The event shut down Market Street between Second Street and Civic Center and was expected to draw 10,000 revelers. Shoppers and tourists on the busy thoroughfare looked downright perplexed, several stopped to ask what the 20-plus floats blaring electronic music as scantily clad people gyrated on them were all about. The naked man covered in gold body paint and carrying a red bow and arrow proved particularly worthy of double-takes.

People who chose to go nude in public are the people that should never be allowed to go nude anywhere.
Children should not be allowed to live in San Fransicko.

You really, really don’t want to know. This is an annual f***-fest orgy.
if you dare.
It’s a techno/house/trance (electronic) music rave that moves down the street, parade style. It is a place to use drugs (E, acid, K, cocaine and booze) and dance. It is a big event in Europe.
When ‘love is in the air’ in San Fransicko, you’re gonna need more than just an umbrella.
The last time we visited the city, my 10 yo daughter asked, “Where are all the kids? We haven’t seen any kids in the entire city.” That just might be a good thing after all given the way a child would be warped growing up in that freak show of a city.
Example in a nutshell: Technoviking
Please, for the love of God, no pictures!!!
You have to be in extremely good shape to parade aorund naked..or almost naked.
In addition, this just SF being SF.

Sorry about the multiple postings. :(
People dressing up like Satan and having sex in the streets.
Good thing they weren’t carrying a cross or Bible, or they would have been arrested.
These are some of Pelousy’s more normal constituents.
You don’t WANT to see photos of the real nutjobs.
Love is in the air alright. Here a father loves his daughters:
