Fremont Street (downtown Vegas casino district) is home to sign waving, bullhorn wielding, Bible thumping, finger pointing Evangelical Christian fanatics. Not sure why they choose to live in Sin City. I guess they need a challenge. This woman stood out because she was the only female and the most attractive and fashionably dressed fanatic on the mall: cute little leather jacket, tight 'n sexy distressed jeans with offset belt buckle, stylin' T and 3 inch heels. Hot little mama and a nice gimmick. Got me to look.

The chubby and poorly dressed Evangelical men stuck to the basics of attacking the Catholic Church, urging salvation and turning away from a sinful lifestyle. Ms Tight Jeans professed the most bizarre and original message: "Jesus was homeless not gay"!

Obviously Tight Jeans was some sort of homeless advocate but dragging the ball 'n chain of an anti-gay platform based on Holy Scripture. Not a terribly effective approach to advancing the homeless cause. Nevertheless, an entertaining moment for me and a chance at a photojournalistic snap.
