Live It Up With Mardi Gras Costumes?
While Halloween comes every year on October 31, the date of Mardi Gras varies, sometimes coming in early February, sometimes late March. Whenever it comes, it's a time to party. Translated in English as Fat Tuesday, it's a chance to eat as much fried, fatty food as possible before going lean for Lent. Along with the food is the extravagance of the costumes and the general revelry associated with the holiday. Mardi Gras is a time to party. To make a good showing at a Mardi Gras parade, it doesn't really matter what you wear. Any costume is acceptable. However, if you just want to dress up and have something that fits in with the tone of the holiday, it's good to remember that the colors most associated with Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. Wear any of these colors - or preferably all of them at once - and you will fit right in with any Mardi Gras crowd. You might also wear a shirt that specifically alludes to Mardi Gras; if you are in New Orleans during this time, t-shirts of this type will be plentiful and cheap. Along with shirts, there are accessories that you can wear to make yourself look more festive. Buy some pins or buttons and add some sparkle to your ensemble. You can also drape long strings of beads around your neck. You don't need to bother to buy these if you are going to a parade. The participants generally toss these necklaces out to the crowd, and it can be a fun game to see who can get the most beads before the parade ends. Another way to dress yourself up is to make yourself a mask. This can be easily done with a thick paper plate. Add ornamental touches to it such as feathers and sequins; dress it up in any way you like, just make it snazzy so you stand out. The whole idea of Mardi Gras is to live it up, so whatever you wear, have fun with it. Mardi Gras is a day for joy and celebration.
