'Sushi,' portrayed by female impersonator Gary
Marion, is lowered from the balcony of the Bourbon Street Pub in Key West,
Florida December 30, 2005, in a mammoth reproduction of a women's
high-heel shoe. The practice drop was staged as a dress-rehearsal for
'Sushi's' real performance, set for New Year's Eve Saturday. The red shoe
drop was conceived as a whimsical answer to New York City's ball drop in
Times Square and traditionally attracts thousands of revelers to Key
West's Duval Street. Picture was taken with a wide angle lens. [Reuters]
