Little known fact: the first Mardi Gras celebration in America was in... (drumroll please)...
Mobile, Alabama. Yes, that is correct. Before New Orleans, Mobilians were raising a toast to Fat Tuesday. These days, New Orleans has the big fiesta with all the debauchery and insanity and breasts. But Mobile still has 3 weeks of parades, balls, and parties. It's definitely more family friendly, but still a blast. And still plenty of masks and alcohol to go around.
Anywho, here is a little bit of decor I made to commemorate my participation in the festivities. I actually caught the beads at the first parade of the year (no flashing required) and I made the rest, including the mask.
