get out of town! that is amazing!!! I can't believe you did this --- you are the first honest-to-God person I know that not only went to a Mardi Gras, but actually dress for it! I think it would be AWESOME to hide behind a total outfit where no one knows who you are ... it gives me goose bumbs just to think of such a fun thing to do! You are brave and so is your layout! Bravo!
Beautiful costume--what a fun time. Many years ago we had a Mardi Gras party--it was unforgettable but no one had a costume as marvelous as yours. Laissez les bon temps roulez!!
