So, in sticking with the Mardi Gras theme of "Riches to Rags," this is what I came up with from my pile 'o random junk I got from Goodwill. Kind of a Madonna meets Punky Brewster meets Boy George thing going on. But the skirt was fun to make and swirled around when I spun. :o)
I met up with Jen, Jeri & Kim at the Thirsty Monk, for a couple pints o' porter. Mmmm. Just enough brew to not really know it was as cold as it was! :o)
The Mardi Gras parade went all through the city, and ended in Prichard Park.
Me: "Hey man, I love your costume! It's kind of like Alf meets the Wuzzles. Do you know who the Wuzzles were?"
This dude: "Sure do. I'm a Fervert."
The colors, the music, the energy...it was all so alive! 
Drummers in Prichard Park--made for some sweet dancin' and hoola hoopin' tunes!
The sun was shining bright, but it was still a pretty brisk day--a good one for dancing!
Woot! Woot! Look at my skirt and my beads!
Beads, beads, everywhere! (My BFF Anna would have had the time of her life!)
So this dude was like, "give me your camera so I can take a picture of you, so you can prove you were here. Don't worry...I'm a professional." Haha!
A parade display for Budha Bagels on Merriman.
Post parade, I went to an after party at the Grey Eagle. They had a tradiational cajun band and cooking. And thought the food lines was awfully long, it sure was tasty-- fried green tomatoes, red beans & rice, shrimp gumbo...mmmm!
This was the queen of the ball-- she made her entire dress from old plastic bags!
Weee! It was so much fun! Did I mention that I love this place?
