As an art group we are in class on most days but for extracurricular activities we are lead by Katherine Engen who lets us know when it's appropriate to don wigs and makeup. There are many occasions in New Orleans to get fancy, it is the town that loves to wear costumes.
This is Katherine Engen and myself, getting ready to see a parade. The more you dress-up, the more goodies are thrown your way, in fact it's best to take a bag for the collection of oddities that you collect.
We also participated in our own Second Line Parade and the great costume reveal was held in the lobby of the hotel. I must add that the workshop this year was titled "Ghost Riders" which was a bit "wide open", so some came as their favorite dead person. I was Frida Khalo.
Karla had joined the group, a friend from Merrifield Garden Center and she came ready to party having just flown in from Wisconsin. This group is well known for their costume prowess, every year it seems to get better!
KD came as "Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl", and she rocked the costume.
We cause such a stir in the lobby of the hotel that guests want to pose with us. Oh it's fun!
I think we did a good job.
WOWZA!!! You look AMAZING! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

The "oddities" are the two in the first photo... but actually, it looks like a normal day in my seniors residence.
