Mardi Gras Colors: Purple, Gold & Green
The traditional colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. These colors are said to have been chosen by Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch Romanoff of Russia during a visit to New Orleans in 1872. This doctrine was reaffirmed in 1892, when the Rex Parade theme "Symbolism of Colors" gave the colors their meanings (Purple = Justice; Gold = Power; Green = Faith). Some argue, however, that the colors were chosen simply because they look good together, and the meanings were determined later (Source: Wikipedia).

Happy Mardi Gras !
I've featured a bunch of Mardi Gras hotness on my tumblr - David Dust After Dark. Although I wouldn't dive in if my boss was nearby. Just sayin.

Just A Couple Hours Until Fat Tuesday
I certainly hope DustBunnies Miss Ginger and Amber LeMay are surviving the festivities in New Orleans. Who knows - maybe they're partying with Anderson Cooper and his gorgeous boyfriend as we speak...
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Anderson Cooper And Hot Piece Hit Mardi Gras
Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend Benjamin Maisani ride atop a float during the Endymion parade yesterday in New Orleans. It's a damn shame that Benjamin wasn't shirtless - because THIS is what's lurking underneath that suit:
Yes, Big Ben was a shirtless bartender before he became a bar owner-slash-celebrity arm candy. Anderson Cooper is one lucky Biatch...

Fat Tuesday!
It's Mardi Gras (or Fat Tuesday) - and the party is currently raging in New Orleans and elsewhere. Meanwhile in Central Pennsylvania - the land of my birth - little old ladies (and men) spent all day deep frying dough in church kitchens. Happy Fastnacht Day!

Happy Fastnacht Day!
Today is Fastnacht Day - that one day a year where it's OK for us simple Pennsylvania Dutch folks to pig out on doughnuts. I explained this tradition last year in THIS blog post.
While Central Pennsylvanians celebrate Fastnacht Day - New Orleans throws their biggest party of the year - Mardi Gras (or Fat Tuesday). "LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULEZ!!" - Let the good times roll, BITCHES!!
In my opinion, the New Orleans' version is MUCH better...
