Laughs and Lessons from Coney Island's Colorful Culture

Ever wondered what happens when you mix a heaping dose of Coney Island chaos with a splash of Bacardi? Picture this: navigating a sea of quirky fashion, over-the-top eyelashes, and bathroom conundrums, all while dodging the temptation of Nathan’s and its artery-clogging goodness. Join us as we recount our latest escapade to this iconic New York landmark alongside my father and his girlfriend, who traded the sunshine of Florida for the frenetic energy of Brooklyn. From crowded boardwalks to questionable restroom situations, we faced it all with humor and a touch of sass.

Prepare for a whirlwind tour through the heart of Coney Island's eccentric culture, where every outfit is a statement and every character is unforgettable. We'll share our candid thoughts on self-awareness and personal health, while also sprinkling in some eyebrow-raising observations about the local fashion scene. Whether you're planning your first trip or reliving past visits, our tales promise laughter, entertainment, and maybe even a nudge to plan your own day at the beach.

I wouldn't exactly say that I'm a people watcher. You know, being in Manhattan, you just kind of and you go where you got to go and you know you don't stop and sit back and say, oh, look at that, oh, look at that. However, on Saturday we went to Coney Island and we were going to dinner with our jewelers and whatever. And we got there early. So we're like, oh, let's walk on the boardwalk. My father has never been to corny island, his girlfriend's from florida. She's never been to brooklyn or corny islands, whatever. So we parked the car. You know that I will walk in, walk past nathan's it's. The line is like across the street. It was ridiculous. Now my dad's girlfriend has to go to the bathroom. Now I don't know where the fuck we're supposed to go to the bathroom because we're in Corny Island. So now we go get on this line. Let me tell you something I am not at all that one to sit there and like hold my bag or be whatever. I wasn't even afraid of somebody robbing me or something like that, because I, you know, but it was so disgusting, it was so freaking gross that I was like I don't even wear a mask and I'm going to put a fucking mask on. So now we're done in the bathroom. I'm standing there like this. I'll pee in the car before I even put my ass on the toilet bowl. So now we're walking around, we find these drinks, we get our little pina coladas or whatever the hell we got, and now a little bit of Bacardi. We're feeling a little bit of Bacardi. We're feeling a little bit happy. You know we could sit and say shit.

Let me tell you something, aside from the fact that I passed about 875 million people who should stop eating fucking Nathan's and White Castle and Burger King. Okay, there's this thing happening. I don't know what it is now. I mean, I got glasses on, but you know I wear a little eye shadow. You know, if I'm going out I'll put, you know, eyelashes on. For a while I had eyelash extensions, but I look like a fucking human being. I did not look like an alien.

There were girls there, first of all. I have no idea how they're walking because with I mean, they were like this long. It looked like the shit on the front of a Volkswagen. I was waiting for them to start honking their horns. People, especially Corny Island people number one, buy a mirror. You cannot walk around the way you were walking around. It was offensive, forget disgusting, it was offensive. Number two stop, stop going to Nathan's. Go to the salad bar, do whatever it is you gotta do Because you're not healthy. I don't care if you're fat, I love fat people, I'm a fat person, but you're not fucking healthy. You're gonna drop dead of a heart attack. And number three For the love of God, when you go get your hair done, you get your hair cut. You get whatever your extensions or whatever, get your eyelashes cut, cause you'll.
