But I'll tell you, the most unique thing about Mardi Gras in Plaquemine in my opinion is that we
have the prettiest costumes in the state, if not the South. The reason we know this is because, we
don't travel to a lot of other balls, or any other balls that we usually go to around the state we are
really disappointed in because they really don't come up to the quality and the craftsmanship that
our balls have. But the material buyers in New Orleans that we buy all our material from tell us
that.
|
Because they sell to... there's only three or four materials stores in New Orleans that sell to all
the Krewes in the South, and so they see our pictures and they tell us that we have some of the
prettiest costumes; and what we've had happen that's so unique is that in the thirty years that
we've been here, these women in Plaquemine have just become true artists in Mardi Gras costume
making and decorating, and it's done nowhere else like that but right here in Plaquemine. New Orleans
can't touch us, Baton Rouge can't touch us; and it's just from the thousands and thousands of
hours that they put in making the costumes and decorating the costumes.
