queens plate
5th July, 2010
It was Toronto Pride last Sunday and in the past I’ve always gone to celebrate and watch the Pride Parade with my gay husbands. This year however, I opted to accompany The Boy to the Queen’s Plate. I mean c’mon people, it does it get any gayer than meeting the Queen?!
Of course I’m using the term “meet the Queen” really loosely here. The Boy, a certified, bonafide writer with credentials could only get within 15 feet of her to take the above pictures. And that’s AFTER a full background check by the RCMP! Us mere mortals had to watch her on the jumbo Tron. Nevertheless, it’s the closest I’ve ever been to the Queen and it was a real treat.
Check out how dapper we all looked! I’m especially fond of the snazzy turquoise hat I found at a Antique market. Looks like the Queen and I both love the same colors!
We had reserved seats at the races with a great view and the sunniest of sunny days for the event. I don’t think we could’ve been more lucky! Well, except instead of winning any money I lost a whole $2 that day at the tracks. Guess I’ll chalk that off as admission to see her royal highness.
