142     Mardi Gras! 2019

3/3/2019

0 Comments

 
It’s almost Lent (starting on Wednesday), so, it’s Mardi Gras!  Or, as those who know nothing of the French language might say, “Fat Tuesday!”  That seems worthy of breaking my usual pattern and indulging in a “special” blog posting.  With that in mind, I thought I’d encourage my readers to “laissez les bon temps rouler” (let the good times roll) by posting (or re-posting) a few cartoons related to the occasion.
 
Enjoy!
 
I did like this image of a “Mardi Gras Girl.”

Mardi Gras being, of course, a time to “let loose” just before the beginning of the Lenten season, this seemed appropriate:
Picture
My colleague, Susan Brown-Strauss, attended a USITT conference in New Orleans a number of years ago (which I didn't attend) and brought me back some of the traditional Gold, and Purple and Green beads, which I wore a to my classes, etc. number of times on Mardi Gras.  I believe that I still have them around somewhere, but I’m not sure I’ll have occasion to wear them this year.  
 
I have no idea what she may have had to go through to get them for me, but my understanding is that things can get pretty wild in that city during Mardi Gras season, so when I saw this e-card, it did make me wonder.

Picture
I ran across this picture of the “Mardi Gras Spice Girls” and it made me laugh.  I doubt that it’s the wildest image one could find of Margi Gras celebrations, but, as one who enjoys an occasional foray into some Cajun food, I thought it was worth saving.

Anyway, I hope that you have a good time on Mardi Gras, but I’d suggest paying some attention to road signs:

I’ll be back in a week, or two, with a more normal post.
 
LLAP (and Happy Mardi Gras!)
