This lady was riding with the Krewe of King Arthur in their 2009 parade. Her costume and face paint are resplendent with these traditional colors. She’s chosen to use face paint in place of a mask.
Category Archives: Daily Photo I can’t look a the this image without wondering what was the joke? What was it this guy saw or heard that so obviously cracked him up? So New Orleans is music and music is New Orleans. The music of New Orleans transcends all manner of cultural boundaries. Unlike the students in the high school… no comments  From this guy’s pose, I’d reckon he’s played soccer at some time. This isn’t your ‘quarterback’ throwing position, it’s your ‘throw-in from the sidelines’ in soccer throwing position. Clearly this guy has identified someone he knows in the crowd and is about to throw them a whole bag of beads. You have to be on… no comments  I’d love to know who invented the parade ladder but I suspect that many will claim the title and all will be correct. These six-foot painters ladders have a box mounted on top that you can seat your toddler in. no comments  As I’ve mentioned before, Mardi Gras is a great family occasion.

He holds their hands tightly – it can be easy to become separated in the mass of people. no comments  I thought I lead off with this image of one of the Flambeau carriers from the 2010 Endymion parade. This was taken as the parade was about to set off. This guy was one of a group of about eight, all similarly dressed for their march to the Superdome.
