All of the ladies here at skinnyskinny pride ourselves on being vegetarians, so it only made sense for us to participate in New York City’s very own Veggie Pride Parade that took place May 16th. We came armed with tons of free yummy soap samples and lip balms and marched with our fellow non-meat eaters through the streets of Manhattan. I was able to capture some great photos from the event, and wanted to share them with you all. Hope you enjoy!

The mascots of the event, Chris P. Carrot and Penelo Pea Pod. Their chant: “eat your veggies, not your friends!”

Claire and myself with our new veggie friends. You may recognize us as the gals shouting “FREE LIP BALM!” on the corner of North 7th and Bedford here in Brooklyn.

Every year the Veggie Pride Parade hosts a “Best Costume Contest”. Here we are with our favorite bunch of fruits and veggies. Thumbs-up for their new skinnyskinny soap samples!

Don’t have a cow. Literally. Did you know that meat production is the largest contributor to global warming? Lame!

This woman was a barrel of sunshine. We loved her chicken costume, and her sign of course!

We had a fabulous time at the parade and can’t wait for next year. Special shout out to all of our new friends, we hope to see you at the store soon!
