Mardi Gras!!!!

A History of St. Louis and our Mardi Gras Traditions, with a an eye to how truly messy it all is, easy translation for local ethnicities caught in the melee, and then a meditation on Boobs. Cher, I do hope the weatha this weekend has our fortune on its mind. Festival means turning social order on its head, apparently all America can must is Official Girls Gone Wild Weekend. Oh well. There will be music, dancing, food -- This I'm into. Festival I'm into. The theme of STL's MG this year? Literature. No. I'm not kidding. So, I'll be forced to go see. Oh. Poor. Me.
