Friends, it is Lundi Gras. Any NOLA'er worth her salt would be drunk by now, knowing that by midnight tomorrow the mounties will be sweeping the Quarter of trash and kicking off the quiet end of carnival, Lent.
This morning I watched some CNN footage of the parade and flipped through the picture books, my brain filling with remorse for not finding some way to get down there. I don't believe in voting with dollars, or showing support by tourism, but this is the second year in a row I've missed Mardi Gras (been there 7 times, likely) and this year my longing is acute. This picture so totally gets it for me.

after the very excellent point on girl group that stealing photos from other sites is unethical, i am no longer going to do it. this is the last one, and it's from associate press, and i should take it down. but it's so good. let it stand. from now on, it's my own crappy pix for you all to see.
