Living in DC, it is easy to trap yourself in the politcial bubble all to easily and miss some of the more important events that happen away from the Hill or Pennsylvania Avenue. As I discovered attempting to get home last night and ending up slap bang in the middle of the 22nd Annual High Heel Race on 17th Street.
It's a regular glam-fest in the capital apparently and thousands thronged the streets around Dupont Circle last night to witness dozens of burly dudes run a hundred-yard dash in their most fabulous frocks. Choice comments overheard included "there seems to be a lot more hetros here this year" and a man dressed as a goblin trying to push his way through the crowd saying: "Excuse me, pardon me, sodomy..."
Anyway, as to the race itself, my words cannot possibly do it justice so watch it here. Now.
