Mardi Gras Day = WIN, with awesomely fabu and popular butterfly costume, dance-off at Fahy’s, walk to the Marigny and more dancing on Frenchmen St. Let the world know that [...]

Day 1273: EPIC SCIENCE FAIL

February 20, 2009

Day 1266: Pre-Lenten Lent

February 13, 2009

Day 1259: Won’t You Let Me Take You On A Sea Cruise?

February 6, 2009

Forget him as a musician. Frankie Ford, king of Krewe du Vieux 2009, is hilarious, truly a laugh a minute, while his queen, Barbara Bennett, is as gorgeous as she is witty.  That so many of us howled and blushed at Frankie’s incessant jokes, and Barbara only encouraged him, proves that we picked our royalty [...]

Day 1257: NOLA Brass Bands On Krewe Du Vieux Parade

February 4, 2009

While putting money together for the Krewe du Vieux brass bands, I wonder what they think of our parade.  We cavort, giggle, stumble and stagger through the streets of the Marigny and French Quarter in strange, convoluted combinations of felt, spandex, cardboard, duct tape, glitter and other accoutrements.  The musicians follow faithfully in their crisp uniforms and tight [...]
