The K'Rd Carnival - soggy but fabulous

It was the K'rd Carnival on Saturday. A bit of a washout unfortunately as it was pissing down all day, but the floats and performers that braved the rain were awesome. The Mistress and I were stoked to meet the gorgeous Georgina Beyer who we're hoping to get on a Resurrection Breakfast show soon.



She's the world's very first Transexual MP and has a very colourful history which was covered in a documentary: "'Georgie Girl' is both a chronicle of Beyer's daily life as a Member of Parliament, and an account of the journey that took her from farm boy to cabaret performer to community organizer to national leader."

We also have a Rastafarian in the New Zealand Parlimament, the lovely Nandor Tanczos who represents the Greens.
