I'm so home sick I could die. I called my mom yesterday and demanded a king cake. She was going to a ball, I can't remember which krewe...
I'm going to totally miss carnival this year because mardi gras is the same week as mid-terms. Fuck higher education...
You should be a suicide girl for carnival. Catch some beads for me, I'll be there the week after.
I so wish I was there right now, I love Nawlins!! Will be down for Jazz Fest, thanks for the love on the pics, posted some more for you to check out!! say hi to the ZULU KING for me!!
Two Halloweens ago I saw someone who dressed up as local personal injury lawyer and late-nite TV advertiser Morris Bart, complete with briefcase, depositions, and realistic ad patter (he would approach someone from behind, put his arms around the mark, and whisper sweetly, "Injured? Car wreck? I'm Morris Bart, and I can win you up to 5 million dollars in damages. 525-8000. One call, that's all.")
So something in this vein may work.
I'd advise against Miss Cleo but a drag king Ron Popeil, Tom Vu, Dr. Ho and his magical muscle massage system, or using the aforementioned M. Bart, Esq. ... The strength is the simple costume but the weakness is that it is prop-heavy, and acting is required (rather than simply lounging about in a glittery skintight something-or-other). It's not a great idea, but it's an idea.
