Coney Island Mermaid Parade

Every year the weird, the wacky, and the sexy costumes trot down the Coney Island for the annual Mermaid Day Parade. Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl. Or does it matter? It's all in adoration of the beautiful blue. And a great pagan right of summer.

This year was no different—with traditional and unusual takes on the sirens of the sea. Here's a look at some of the images that were tagged via Pixable. Enjoy!
