I almost hate to post in this thread!
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
If I ever get the picture of myself online where I can link to it (probably later tonight) I'll update this.
I had a FANTASTIC Mardi Gras - this was the first year I 'masked' - Going into the new year I wanted something 'biting political' but not Katrina related. And then the Mayor spoke on MLK day, and did some very ill-thought-out back-tracking. And he set himself up so well, I just couldn't resist!
I poked pretty direct fun at him - and as we're on St. Charles Ave waiting for Zulu to get rolling, he stops RIGHT in front of us on his horseback (in his 4-star General costume!) - I saw him see my costume and was laughing, so I turned to the side so he could see it, and I got a little more laugh and a thumbs up. If I had 1 picture taken of my while 'strolling' I had 50. I knew it would be well received, but I really was shocked at the level or 'well received'. It was a blast!
More later when I finish getting caught up in the lounge and get the picture uploaded.
