Here Come the Brides
Getting hitched: It is said every girl dreams of donning a white dress and marrying her prince charming. Most plan to do it only once.

Cities across Ukraine are set to become seas of white this summer as waves of brides take to the streets. What’s On takes a look at the schedule of bride parades – whether you simply want to watch, gain inspiration for your own nuptials, or participate in one of them – this story is for you!

Careful! They Just Look Like Girls

Some say that the term “drag” dates back to the 18th century, referring to how transvestites dragged their long skirts on the ground. Others say drag is an abbreviation for DRessed as A Girl. As the Miss Diva 2013 pageant heads our way, we look at the sequins and stilettos of Kyiv’s drag queens of Ukraine.
