Priests and Alter Boys or Sleazy in the Big Easy

The search for Mardi Gras costumes continue. Here’s the best of the ideas so far.

1. Priests/Nuns: Priests w/ girls as alter boys was also suggested.
2. Sleazy in the Big Easy: Pick out your favorite sleazy look and go with it.
3. Peace in New Orleans: This would be a nice gesture, considering the recent crime wave. It could range from hippies to peace fairies and anything else you can think of that would get the idea across. Peace symbols would be a good way to tie everyone together.

Mardi Gras costume fun

We’ve got such a fun, big group coming for Mardi Gras that I think we should do some kind of group costume for Lundi Gras. Here’s a couple ideas, but I’m sure there are better ones.

1. Boys, girls, everyone cross dresses (Thankfully Paul’s not coming or things might get confusing).
2. 70s attire is always cool and there’s lots of options.
3. Girl and guy cheerleaders
4. Clowns

I know you guys can do better than those. Remember to consider things that are adjustable enough to fit the weather and affordable for everyone.

Saints Win!!

I could die tonight, and it would be just fine. Thank you Sean Payton, Deuce McCallister, and Reggie Bush (especially since you almost died on the first drive of the game). Thanks to the defense also. If overachieving were a crime you would be in jail by now. God bless you, Saints. Please win next week. You can have my first born son.

A sad day.

I must say first and foremost, this has nothing to do with not having been picked yet for a team (even though I was one of the first Mardi Gras players ever assembled), it has nothing to do with the killer bees, and it has nothing to do with the fear of actually painting a barbeque pit pink without somehow/possibly poisoning the meat. I am sad to say that I have just been hired at a coffee shop here in Austin, and I regretfully hand in my resignation for Mardi Gras 2007, New Orleans, La. I feel no shame in this, only the pressing fact that I must continue to strive and make money so that I can support my cross-dressing career that I have chosen for myself. I hope that the buzzards can understand this situation and accept my heartfelt regret. Peace and safety be with you all on your journey to the land of beads, boobs, booze and bee’s.

2 Things to Look Forward to at Mardi Gras

Killer Bees
The residents of flood-damaged St. Bernard Parish, still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, have a new concern: killer bees.

Agriculturalists began setting traps around a half-mile radius of a storm-wrecked home Monday that authorities have confirmed was infested with aggressive Africanized honey bees.

Killers/Curfews
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – New Orleans officials trying to stop a wave of murders in a city still recovering from Hurricane Katrina said on Saturday they will soon present anti-crime measures that could include a curfew

Can’t wait.
