The wonderful thing about Mardi Gras is that EVERYONE dresses up. Also, daytime drinking is strongly encouraged. I thought that there were certain costume themes for Mardi Gras but as with most things in New Orleans, anything goes, and the more colors/glitter the better.
It's hard to see in this picture but the details in this outfit are really intricate and amazing. This woman told me that when she was a kid her mother would wake her up on Christmas morning and ask: "What do you want to be for Mardi Gras?". And then they would spend the next two months sewing their costumes.
I WANT TO GO!!!! NEXT YEAR, ALL OUT!!!
