After Queerguru covered a lot of the fab World Pride/Mardi Gras in Sydney Australia last month, we wanted to turn our focus to the Mother of All Carnivals In RIO DE JANEIRO. During the Pandemic the City put the celebrations on hold but NOW IT’S BACK BIG TIME.
Queerguru’s newest correspondent MIKE ROLOFF was so happy to be back in Brazil, and here’s a wee slice of Carnival seen through his lens
The Theme for Provincetown Carnival produced by The Provincetown Business Guild this year was MONSTERS, MYTHS & LEGENDS which gave plenty of scope for all those creative queers to let their imaginations run riot. The costumes were both spectacular and innovative, even though many of them used very little fabric!

With its packed room full of creatively dressed queens who have traveled far and wide to attend to watch some ‘spirited’ and decidedly amateurish performances, this sold-out Brunch in 2019 was a riot from start to finish.
