What To Wear????

April 20, 2010

I was talking with my friend, Greg Reed. he was on the float with me. Greg had come to the parade directly from some event and had on a coat and tie. He was probably the only person riding our Mardi Gras float dressed that way. But in the Big Easy, everything is acceptable. There were a lot of ladies marching head of us with very little in the way of covering (sorry if you missed it, you missed it). I can't post those photos, but I do have them. You might say at the end of the day, it all balanced out.
