When Mardi Gras rolls around, I get really excited. I feel like a kid in a candy shop, eyes wide with potential and anticipation. Mardi Gras is playtime for adults, when we can explore our creativity, play dress-up, accept nutty ideas as perfectly reasonable, and open our hearts and minds to parties, parades and whimsies that might escape us at other times of the year.
Carnival in New Orleans is also one of my biggest seasons because I get to design the most fantastic accessories and headpieces. This is when I get to go whole-hog with sparkle and color, and of course this makes me very happy! What would life be like without color and sparkle?
