Fancy Pants Parade on JoCo Cruise 2015

The fifth annual Fancy Pants Parade on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, born out of a song called Mr. Fancy Pants that Jonathan Coulton didn't want to write: http://thingaweekredux.com/post/8863692791/thing-a-week-45-mr-fancy-pants-i-tried-to-write

The video is a bit blurry because I started out quite far from the action, so I zoomed in a whole lot, and my camera can't zoom out during filming, nor is it particularly good at refocussing, apparently. The person I hastily handed my camera to as I went to join the parade did not know this, and moved closer to the action.

After winning last year, this year I went with the minimally-fancy pants to be able to join the parade without any risk of winning. I wore pants with a leafy print called 'Caribbean'. The winner wore squid pants which had also been in the parade the year before, and would probably have won if it weren't for my pants.
