My first Mardi Gras without having to balance work and fun!!! Woo hoo! It was a constant rallying of energy as usual, but this year I was not dependent on Redbull to pull me through! Cori, Sara and I wore and rotated multiple wigs, we had festive tights, glittery tulle skirts, head bands, and lots of carnival shirts! I felt the most prepared this year: from outfits to footwear to beverages, we had our shit together!
Moonshine in all its flavored glory! Margarita & Blackberry mix very well, and the soaked peaches complimented our champagne wonderfully!
Purple & green wigs for the win!
Sara, Me, Tyler, Brie, and Cori at Thoth
Thoth rolled on Sunday with perfect weather. | Confetti & lights at a night parade
Ribbon fun & lots of costumes on Mardi Gras day downtown
Solange Knowles was the honorary Muse this year. Unfortunately she threw her wedding ring off with beads along the route. I doubt it will ever be recovered.
Rows & rows of ladders for the kiddies. | A float poking fun at the super slow construction progress occurring all across town!
King Cake daiquiri! | The three amigas ready for Muses!
A group of dominos being knocked down by a car!
Me, Tyler (ready to root for his Panthers in the Super Bowl) & Brie at Thoth
A float in Morpheus. | Clean up post parade. Still amazes me how quickly things return to "clean" after the fun!
A time-lapse of clean up after Thoth.
More wigged shenanigans :)
