fat tuesday

I am so confused. Today I am supposed to binge on whatever I am giving up for lent, while wearing a mask and asking girls to show me their breasts for beads and make a confession?

Today is Fat Tuesday and the official last day of Mardi Gras. It's the day before Ash Wednesday to eat up before Lent. It's also the biggest day to party carnival style and grab some beads!  You might have to show a little something to get those beads.

After Hurricane Katrina devastated the Atlantic Coast in 2005, New Orleans, and the region as a whole, gained more prominence in the national and international news, and rightly so.

Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, the last big party day before Lent.  It's ALL about the beads!
