Le Danse De Mardi Gras

In town the streets have been cleared from the Lundi Gras festivities that ran late into the wee morning hours. A new stage has been erected in the town square. Cans have been picked up by those who need a little extra cash to make ends meet. The day is fresh. The band strikes up melodies and sings in their dying language. People gather; they dance, they talk, they drink, walk the streets, and wait.


(Lilly Skin from Warholic Vampire Shop $1 - F - 13 Skins - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Whispers/124/152/21; Outfut broceliande from Dany French touch peut etre $1 - M - outfit - http://slurl.com/secondlife/New%20Toulouse%20Algiers/11/202/29; Balmoral Pumps from Truth $0 - F - shoes - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Truth%20Island/115/144/26)

The young riders have not slept and the old will get up earlier than usual. The air has just a whisper of cold. The chill keeps those who have been awake up for the ride and work ahead. Today, chickens awake with fear in their little hearts all around Cajunland. They know the riders are coming. They are coming for the chickens, rice, flour, oil, onions, bell peppers, & green onions. Have their bounty and they'll stop their procession at your homestead and the band will play for you Le Danse De Mardi Gras.


(Newbie skin from Fleur $0 - F - Skin - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fleur/166/128/27; The special non-hunt Josephine Baker dress released as a $1 today only exclusive is from Lemania Indigo $1- F - dress - http://slurl.com/secondlife/S%20Crystal%20Springs/148/169/30;

Floats, beads, cups, and dubloons are non-existent here. Wooden carts drawn by horse are for the band, retired riders, and women who watch. Things are as they were in the past. You ride, then you go to your section of town and make the gumbo for your section of town. Life is segregated here; still today.


(Clergy outfits can be obtained from Calleta's Hobo Railroad Docks $0 - m/f - clergy outfits - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calleta/74/166/24)


If you venture into the cities the festivities are much different and probably more of what one who hears Mardi Gras thinks of. But, no matter where you awake you'll go to church and be marked by ashes. You'll bear your mark until sundown. And then begins a time of repentance and fasting and wait for the Easter vigil.

Hair is from the abundent $1 wall at ChiChickie!'s hairspray location. There was also a style for men available. ($1 - M/F - hair - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hairspray%202/33/181/51)

For all the lovely girls and boys that like a touch of glam there is Piazza Italia one of the plethora of haute-couture glam oriented sims. You'll find that it adjoins The Best of Italian sim which does also showcase an exquisite array of finer end designer duds. If you're looking for attention to detail and to stand out you'll want to visit these sims. While I'll focus on the newer Piazza Italia sim, if you haven't been to this corner of the grid you'll definetly want to spend some time in Best of Italian.
Two items I picked up in Best of Italian are this killer dress by touching the subscriber to be informed of all upcoming events here:
