#7 Accessories
To welcome the start of Mardi Gras 2009 today, I am submitting this photo with some accessories from both, the real celebration in New Orleans (the top beads without a medallion) and the Mardi Gras tribute (bottom beads with a medallion) from The Rio's Masquerade Village and Show in the Sky in Las Vegas, where every day is Mardi Gras! I have definitely got my Mardi Gras music playing at home, in celebration, today too!

Our Sydney Mardi Gras has a slightly different connotation, so being a card carrying homophobe I will not compare, just say enjoy.

Love, love, love the bear and it's accessories! Lucky you to have been to Mardi Gras! I'm not going to ask how you got the beads though! LOL

He looks like a very happy bear - glad to be well accessorized and participating in Mardi Gras.

Great take on the theme. Who "wudda thunk" to accessorize a teddy bear?
