For most, the new year begins at midnight. However, Coney Island lovers believe the New Year dosen’t begin until that exhilerating moment when thousands of revelers dive into the freezing cold ocean!

Coney Island has always inspired visitors to exhault in the elation of expressing their free, uninhibited selves! Hence, it inspires some of the most fascinating expressions of fashion one has ever witnessed!

This lovely lady’s daughter (who was wearing a pair of audacious American Flag Pants) made this New Year’s hat to wear herself but her mother stole the hat and the show at Ruby’s Bar and Grill! She was the hit of the New Year’s party at Ruby’s!!

Even the little doggies rock their most fabulous outfits to strut their stuff on the Coney Island Boardwalk on New Year’s Day!!

Why is Shimmer looking so serious in 2010? No doubt, she is plotting a way to escape from Raja and I (wearing our matching Bunny-bear hats) so that she can flirt with the person working the grill at Ruby’s to get a hot dog!
