"Costuming New Orleans Style" Eve Abrams:
Costuming season in New Orleans stretches, more or less, from Halloween through Mardi Gras. Dressing up, and becoming not yourself for a night or a day, is a way of life in New Orleans. Many, many New Orleanians not only have a collection of costumes, they also have costuming philosophies, methods, and theories. Where else in American do adults collectively decide to dress up and play on a regular basis? And what would happen if we lost that tradition?
