As Puma Perl has proclaimed, “Avenue B is the place to be! ” and she was certainly proven right on Saturday afternoon in the East Village.

The gorgeous sunny day —a relief from the apocalyptic smog of last week — brought out a cast of characters that ran the gamut from fabulous to funky.

The most notable face was that of Grammy winner Kim Petras, spotted on the corner of Avenue B and 3rd St. in what we’re going to call her “Medieval Barbie “ look while filming a video for her upcoming album.

Across the street Delphine Le Goff was running her popular collective 3rd and B’zaar in a fab outfit by Radhika and Saman. Just up the avenue Tompkins Square Park was bursting with the sounds of hardcore punk band Slashers, who turned in a tight set full of punchy and energetic tunes to a diverse audience.

The street was also brightened by the appearance of Glinda the Good Bus, helmed admirably by Michelle Joni who stopped for a few pics before loading the bus with a crew of birthday party revelers.
