Daily News on Parade

 (click to enlarge)

Imagine my surprise as I ran down to the corner cafe for breakfast on Monday, June 30th, and the nice newstand man started pointing at me and yelling, "Lady! LADY!!! You're da Lady! Look ebberyone! Dee LADY!!!".... immediately people started waving the Daily News under my nose asking for autographs...or money! It was the day after the LGBT Pride Parade (back when it wound all through the city!), and NYC was bracing itself for the week-long festivities around the unveiling of the restored Statue of Liberty. Reagan was in town, and so were the "Tall Ships", and of course, there was Mummie on the cover of the Daily News as a platinum blond!.....ah, good times!...good times....
