Carnival Roundup

This is the week long celebration leading to Mardi Gras. The Vamp has a day job on Bourbon Street!

There are parades and parties everyday.

With the World Champion Saints coming home there is an added parade tomoorow night to continue what is sure to be at least a week long celebration of their winning the Super Bowl.

These are snap shops I took last year while we were out and about in the streets.

All over town, Canal Street, Uptown, The Quarter - the party is everywhere you look.

All ages participate! Isn't she gorgeous?!

Music is everywhere.

And oh my the royalty!

Lots of humor and satire abound.

It's fun to see the the political climate of last year (2009).

And always sexy guys are around as eye candy.

Costumes often include elaborate props.

Papier mache floats are huge rolling works of art.

Revelers - we love the revelers!
