Mardi Gras Ball 2009

Chris and I attended the Mardi Gras Ball in Ocean Springs over the weekend with some friends. Talk about some extravagant costumes. They were awesome. My favorite wase the blue and lime green. These costumes cost in the thousands of dollars...can you imagine! We had a great time.

King and Queen for just a few minutes.

My crazy husband pretending to sing along with the band (No Idea...was the bands name).

And me kissing on this scary looking Mardi Gras manequin.

This was a few in our group where we met at a restaurant called Mosaic. A very unique place. This centerpiece in the middle of the table...no it's not a bong...it's called a Houka. Chris and I were the first at the restaurant and noticed someone in the corner with one of these...we were kinda wondering what kind of place these people had us meeting at after seeing this thing. Come to find out it holds flavored tobacco....interesting huh. Anyway the group decided to rent one with green apple flavored tobacco. I DO NOT smoke but tried it anyway just to see what it was about. Pretty tasty but not something I will do on a regular basis. Gave me quite the headache.
