Finally! The long-awaited Mardi Gras blog! We had a great time going to parades and even a ball! Each Mystic Society (basically an older version of fraternities and sororities) puts on their own parade and ball, scheduled sometime during the season.
 |
| The Sheriffs Ride in front of the Parade in special uniforms - this was the Conde Caviliers Parade |
 |
| A Hurricane at Joe Cain Cafe before the Inca's Parade |
 |
| Our Ball tickets and Invite - Full-length dresses and Tails required |
 |
| Our Haul from the Inca's Parade - this wis what they threw from the floats (Cups, beads, and ramen, + moon pies that aren't pictured) |
 |
| Kenny trying on Beads |
 |
| Picture of my dress - I had to keep my curlers in until the last moment |
 |
| Curtis in his tails |
 |
| The last parade of Mardi Gras - Order of Myths (or as the locals say, "double-O Ms") - on this float the "Folly" is trying to ward off "Death" |
 |
| An attempt at a picture of the floats, with the guys in costume throwing stuff into the crowd |
Happy Mardi Gras! Hope you can come next year to celebrate the season w/ us!
Loved the update! The pictures of you guys and Kenny Dog are my favorites! I love blogs!
