Misty and I started out the day in jeans and t-shirts. We got to the house of the crew we'd be hanging with all day and felt so totally out of place that as soon as we had a chance, we changed into the costumes we'd brought with us.
Soon, Misty found her "prince" (a guy in the male version of the egyptian princess costume she was wearing) and i'd found my "hive" (a bunch of people in bee costumes). Very cool, everyone was thrilled to be there, everywhere you turn people are wishing you a happy Mardi Gras!
Happy Mardi Gras!!
We walked down Bourbon st, and folks on the balconies were tossong beads down. Twice one of those people wanted a show in return; I did not want to trade dignity for plastic beads so I just smiled and waved and moved on. ;-) I did end up with a shitload of beads anyway; they're very easy to catch! Oh and a red feather boa, which was dangled off a porch on a fishing pole and attached with a clothespin. Dude dangling it did not count on my reach, but blew me a kiss when I grabbed it. :-)
As our intrepid host said, "only asshole out-of-towners do the whole 'show-me-your-tits' thing" and so I was perfectly happy to let other, younger, drunker girls go there.
Speaking of our host, Jason is an absolute doll for letting us take over his apartment without complaint and host us for the week. Thanks, Jason!!
