IF YOUR PRIDE ISN’T FEELING FAB ENOUGH, BUFFALO EXCHANGE HAS YOU COVERED

Chris Arneson

FOR ITS THIRD YEAR, THE South Broadway clothiers are sponsoring
a Crosswalk Walk-Off as part of its Gayer Pride celebration. The fashion event is aimed at anyone who wants to express themselves, according to event coordinator Carlos Garcia. He’s partnering with Nadia Mackinnon, a fellow Buffalo Exchange employee. The store’s owner, Todd Colletti, is heading the event.

“We want to bring Pride down to SoBo,” Carlos explains. The free event, initially intended for drag style, now incorporates any and all types of fashion.

“Freaks and weirdos and fab people are all invited,” he adds, noting that everyone is allowed to be whoever they want without fear of hecklers.

The walk-off begins at 7pm. Basically, participants are able to strut their stuff across the Broadway crosswalk in front of Buffalo Exchange. Carlos says you’ll see everyone from little boys in dresses to leather daddies participating contestants will be judged by a randomly selected panel chosen that day. Prizes will include swag bags, gifts cards, and clothing donated by local businesses.

After the walk, Buffalo Exchange is teaming up with Blow Pony & Sugar Twist for an after-party (QUEER MUTINY!) at The Compound Basix featuring a Club Kid fashion show. The 21+ event has a $5 cover.

Carlos encourages attendees to check out the event on Facebook and RSVP for updates. Those interested in participating are encouraged to shoot and email to GayerPride@ gmail.com, but it’s possible to show up and ask to join.
