Some of them involves a real elaborate head pieces, head dresses. Some of them, I've even seen some of the head dresses have to be, the frame have to be made out of a light aluminum, because they were so big and ornate, that it just took that. But that's just passed on from generation to generation, just like my Mama and Daddy passed it on to me, I'm passing it on to my two boys. I've got two boys who've already participated in the Mardi Gras Balls, since they've been able to walk, and so its just a natural thing for them.
