I don’t know how many of you are aware of the week long debauchery party that takes place down in Key West every year. AKA Fantasy Fest. This year they’re celebrating 30 years of parades, painted naked people, drunken stupors and casual sex. Fantasy Fest was originated as a way to bring tourist to Key West in the off season. Yes, what a better way to bring people to an island during hurricane season than to entice them with a giant Halloween street party with alcohol and painted naked people. I’m looking forward to the painted naked people the most. What can I say, I can see people in drunken stupors in downtown St. Pete, have causal sex on a Tuesday night at home and see a Parade at a drop of a dime in Tampa, but there’s not too many places I can see painted naked people first hand. I’ve included photos from past years, so you have an idea of what I’m talking about.
