G and I are in Krewe of PAN and sub-Krewe of Krewe du Vieux and our parade was Saturday. Unlike the huge super-krewe who pay professionals to make their floats and costumes we all do it all ourselves. Our theme this year was "S'il Vous Played" and everyone costumed as a huckster, sham artist, what have you. There were several meter maids, garbage collection agencies, corrupt politicians, card sharks and mimes. The crowds this year were huge! Probably because the weather was mild. It's usually freezing cold for our parade.
I was a fortune teller.
Our float. The hands were motorized.
G as a politician.
A great video of us appears on YouTube:

What I've been up to...
The 610 Stomper's Ball -their theme was 80s and/or prom wear.
My get-up for the Pussyfooter's Blush Ball
One month to Mardi Gras day!
I had all these grand delusion of posting about the building up to Mardi Gras. But I've just been too busy to post! So instead, just enjoy this wonderful video.
Married to G. We serve our three kitties, Hana, Gonzo and Harold.
"Nolacleophatra" is from "NOLA" short hand for New Orleans, LA and Cleophatra, a nick name for my dearly departed cat Cleo.
