According to my calendar,
Mardi Gras is Tuesday, 2/24/04 this year. We better get to work on those floats!
Mardi Gras is already going on with the "less important" krews goin at it. Endymion and Zulu are usually the last days parades.
Weve got so many beads in my wifes studio that we have em hangin on big hooks and we give em to kids for little nifties. Its amazing that, in Nawlins, people will kill for beads during Mardi Gras, then about 2 days later the junk dealers down in the Quarter sell em by the pund like 10 lb for 2.50.
About 20 years ago, my wife, Mrs F flashed a parade jockey and got a really nice prize, a wrapped up golde and purple and green cloth favor which wrapped a certificate for a seafood dinner at Felix's
mac--
Thanks for the correction. Us creative types have no difficulty playing fast and loose with reality and need to be corrected over essentials like space and time.
Will you be riding with the Glitter Glamour Pusses?
Hmmm, can I drive the float instead?
mac--
Would you be more comfortable, heavily veiled, riding an elephant? We could dress the elephant in a sequined tutu and no one would notice the modest mahout.
That sounds great, Noddy. Though I'd settle for a simple Mardi Gras mask.

I can do that. Count me in!
Oh, I can sooo get into it myself.
My best mardi gras experience was in Guadalajara at the university, dancing to three bands - the meringue as I remember. No, I don't know how to meringue, but it was so crowded that if you moved to not be hit by someone's butt you'd naturally pick up the rhythm, great experience, the whole giant room a moving meringue...
Laissez les bonnes temps roulez, cher!
Well, don't we just look fabulous :-D
Ony
We are going to knock their socks off ;-)
Well, we don't want to start a riot or anything Gautam ;-)
oops. silly me. I forgot that Guatam was on our Float Montana...how could you let me make such a blasphemous error??!?!?
Sorry Ony. It's all my fault (blush).
Oxynelle, Montana--
You are magnificient! Your Pedicure Person is going to have to stop bitchin' and get stitchin'.
Why thank you Noddy. Now where is that handsome pedicure guy gone now? He has only done one foot and then suddenly vanished right after the gorgeous guy dressed in a mountie uniform walked by.
Montana spots Gautam doing the feet of the mountie, just as she suspected and limps towards them on one foot. Gautam spots the furious Montana and heads for the hills.
Montana--
Either he does your other foot or he's assigned to cleaning up after mac's elephants.
Alrighty then. I'll be waiting here on my throne tapping my un-pedicured foot.
I think it's the Sydney MArdi Gras that Gautam wants!
Especially the dancing boys!
