I love how people think Mainers are one iconic stereotype you'd find in Yankee Magazine; e.g.; the crusty old timer or the lobsterman who "ayuhs" when spoken to. As you can see from Pen Bay Pilot's galleries, Midcoast has such a diverse cross-section of people. We are a hotbed for the creative economy and we've got a vibe you don't even know about, yet.

Case in point: Hot Pink Flannel is the party planning crew of Rockland and Jesse Stuart is the photographer to capture the scene. On May 11, they threw down the last party of the season at the Time Out Pub. Known for their outrageous themes, including '80s Prom Bomb and Stache Bash, HPF's latest fling was all about the glitter and neon, titled NeonBling II. Here are some of the best poses and photos.
