Drag queens will ride with Boobs on Bikes

Today's tits-out parade in Auckland CBD will again feature a car load of drag queens, as the queen city's tranny divas are keen to lend their support to the controversial event.

Girly bits?: Miss Ribena at last year's Boobs on Bikes

Miss Ribena, Tiffany Rose, Britlee, Karma Kaos and Natalia will join the parade in an appropriately topless car, and plan to "make a lot of noise."

An Auckland City Council bylaw which would ban any 'offensive' events in the city put the Boobs on Bikes Parade – and any future Hero Parades – in doubt, but yesterday Auckland District Court Judge Nicola Mathers rejected the Council's bid to get an interim injunction preventing the parade.

Several drag queens – some blasting on air horns – featured in last year's Boobs on Bikes Parade, which was watched by tens of thousands of Auckland City office workers who filled Queen Street as the bikes rolled towards Customs Street.

This year's parade begins at 12:45pm on the corner of Cross Street and Upper Queen Street, and heads straight down Queen Street to finish in Customs Street.
