MARDI GRAS TRADITIONS
• Carnival balls: Carnival balls are formal parties given by a
krewe for its members and their guests.
• Mardi Gras drag: An object lesson in delirious diversity,
fetishist fantasy garb and outrageous comic couture.
• Parading with ladders: The ladder rule of thumb is, you
place the ladder at least as many feet back from the curb as it is
tall. No one pays attention to this rule, but it's a good one.
• Mardi Gras Indians: Its exact history is difficult to
determine, but most agree the ritual song, dance and costuming
began as way for African slaves brought to America to celebrate
their heritage.
Masquerade in the sky is a show at the Rio in Las Vegas which
draws thousands of spectators during the seven daily
performances. It is very well designed, choreographed and
executed. Quite an spectacle.
