At the end of October, Key West, the last in
the string of islands that stretches south from
Florida, plays host to one of the wildest fancy-dress
free-for-alls on earth. Fantasy Fest is a
music- and rum-fuelled party marathon that
reaches its zenith with a massive themed
costumed parade – something along the lines
of “Fright Night on Bone Island” and “Delirious
Dreams and Hilarious Screams” if past years
are anything to go by. It’s a camp affair all right,
but is by no means limited to gays and lesbians
– organizers estimate that half of the attendees
are straight, and as Key West grows more and
more wealthy, its once predominantly gay
atmosphere is becoming more inclusive by the
year. Still, the open, let-it-all-hang-out vibes are
endlessly cruisey for everyone, whatever your
sexual orientation, and the mood so exuberant,
so candid, that it’s hard not to get drawn in.
