Being a formerly devout Catholic, Mardi Gras used to mean one last chance to eat lots of chocolate, watch TV, or do whatever fun thing I was going to give up for Lent. Now that I'm much more open minded I've decided that one day I would love to partake in the festivities and traditions associated with Fat Tuesday, a la New Orleans.
Yes, there is some outright craziness, such as this:
But while that level of celebration not my cup of tea, some of the partying would be memorable and FUN.
Meanwhile, back at my house, once everything and everyone is settled, I'm treating myself to a different sort of mask
and a personal spa night, as a reward for the No "Poo" experiment.
More details to follow on the outcome of No "Poo," but let's just say that color treated hair doesn't always respond the way you think it will to traditional hair washing methods!! :p
Happy Mardi Gras! What are you doing tonight?

I'll go with you to celebrate. It is something I have always wanted to do, also.
Last night, no beads and late night debauchery. Early to bed and up at 5.
You're on! :D We'll figure out a way to have a few, see the sights, take lots of pictures - and leave before we go completely native and decide to get painted up!
