More craziness from Fat Tuesday

After the Zulu parade we stopped by to check out "Yellow Pocahontas" http://www.louisianafolklife.org/lt/virtual_books/hes_prettiest/hes_the_prettiest_tootie_montana.html
This link will help you to understand the history of Mardi Gras Indians.
Yellow Pocahontas was the first Mardi Gras Indian to use a 3 dimensional style of regalia
Check out this young protege !!
We next headed back to the French Quarter to Ray's friend Moe's apartment, thats Moe on the right. We had a blast hanging out on his balcony checking out the crowd.
There were tons of carzy folks on the streets all day in outrageous costumes. It seemed to us that the dress up tradition was a white thing as there were very few people of color in costumes. Hey white people have culture too. LOL. Heres a few of my favorite shots. 
Peace Brother!!
OK . . . . .Kate and Ray are unfazed. . . . 
Don't wanna drop that beer!
Hari anonymous?
Grrrrr!
I thought that Dr. Evil and Austin never actually appeared together . . . .oh behave!!!
Well that finally wraps it up for Fat Tuesday. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
