Day 893: Proteus & Orpheus Monday

Proteus

Most of the riders were either drunk, not ready for the parade, unconcerned, a bunch of cheapos or all of the above. K got a blinking seahorse, but that’s the nicest thing anyone caught off any float. The floats themselves were eerily enchanting, however, as per the Proteus theme.

Orpheus - The Beautiful Cheryl

Salt-n-Pepa’s here and they’re gorgeous! Lisa tells me that at some point, the ladies had no beads left so were taking the leaves off the float and signing them. Bet the floatmakers loved that! Anyone know if Spinderella joined Salt and Pepa?

Speaking of missing celebrities, where was Kevin Meaney? Or Lance Bass for that matter?

I can use some help identifying the folks in both of the above photos.

Orpheus Monday

Leviathan is the best mythological creature and the best float! Long live Leviathan!

    I caught numerous beads that were drenched in beer from Proteus, none of them special. My six year old ended up with a completely full bag of those sea horse beads. That made her happy.

    The floats were gorgeous, though.

    Kevin Meaney and Lance Bass were both on top of Leviathon.

    Proteus = old line krewe = skimpy throws.

    Sarabeth, yes, the floats were gorgeous. My sticky bag of Proteus beads was not.

    Kasey, I was so in awe of the splendor that is Leviathan that I missed Kevin and Lance.

    Adrastos, the people I was standing with asked if these folks couldn’t afford nice throws. After almost choking on my drink, I explained that these folks are so rich that they are parading for themselves and not us.

    Proteus considers its parade to be a stylish way to get to the ball.
