First, I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts and contributing to this post. As usual, everyone has done a phenomenal job covering this event and I look forward to seeing more. With that being said, there is one curiosity that has been in the back of my mind for years now regarding this and other similar events. I'd like to get a few opinions if possible from the users here and the professional members who have covered this parade and other similar events. I've often wondered why there doesn't seem to be any high quality video that focuses primarily on the female riders in much the same way the photographs do on this forum? There seems to be an enormous and dream-like opportunity for capturing great moments during both the ride and in miscellaneous or pre-ride or post ride settings. I've noticed that there are indeed an overwhelming number of people with high quality video camera equipment in attendance and are capable of capturing high quality video. It just seems odd that none of the footage ever occasionally surfaces on this board or to the internet in general at least to my knowledge.

The are tons of videos on the mainstream video sharing websites such as YouTube, but they are mostly strategically edited or posted in a way that doesn't show any tangible or prolonged female nudity in public situations. In my opinion ,most of the videos that make it to the internet and do contain nudity are often shot from a seemingly female or seemingly gay male perspective focusing heavily on the male riders and male nudity. Can someone explain to me the subculture and psychology of covering this or similar events and mindset regarding not posting video footage if you've noticed a similar pattern? It has become very frustrating to continuously comb through video after video only to discover the obvious nudity omissions and not so clever transitional video edits. Am I missing something here guys or is there another outlet for uncensored video material or event coverage that I am simply unaware of regarding this? There must be thousands of quality videos out there somewhere and the people filming are either refusing to share the footage for whatever reasons or have decided to keep the best stuff for themselves. At any rate, it all seems very hypocritical especially when this is an EXTREMElY PUBLIC event (a parade) with an "after party" in a public park. There are over one hundred thousand people in attendance and countless pictures available online which makes the lack of quality videos all the more baffling.
