If You Borrow Lipstick Give It Back | Invasion of the Pines Fire Island Part 5

Saturday, July 5th, 2014 - 37 Years ago, a drag queen was thrown out of a bar for the way she was dressed. She left and returned with a bunch of her drag queen friends. Every year since, this event has been commemorated with the "Invasion of the Pines". A boat load of drag queens travel from Cherry Grove to the Pines, Fire Island, and sashay out strutting their stuff. Dancing, drunkenness, and merriment ensue. For me, this was the closest to a taste of heaven I could have ever imagined.
