This One is for Ashley Morris, Who Dat!
In the months after the levee failure I made the acquaintance of the late, great Ashley Morris. During that fateful first meeting I stated that if the Saints ever made it to the SuperBowl I would watch the game. Not only that but I would do so in a Saints cheerleader’s outfit. Even that first year after the storm with the Saints winning consistently it seemed a safe bet.
Well, as the Who Dat nation scattered across the US can attest, they not only went to the SuperBowl but have come home victorious. This team has set many new records and has returned to the Crescent City enshrined as heroes of epic caliber. Which, of course means I need to go an extra yard or ten.
Since I’m currently living in Cincinnati it was bloody cold here. Being less tropically blooded the locals do not generally keep their houses warm, at least not by my standards. Especially when its 10 degrees outside. Think snow. Inches of snow.
This, as you may imagine was a problem. As is usual for cheer leading uniforms is was not big on coverage. As a middle ground I put it on with some black thermals on underneath. Not very satisfying, I know. (shut up adrastos, keep reading).
SO……
In honor of the impossibilities that have become fact, for the flying pigs, for the honest lawyers, for the abyssmally absurd that is integral to the current Mardi Gras season I have decided the following:
Better pics will be taken and posted. From Mardi Gras. As long as we don’t get snowed in at the airport I’ll be arriving in NOLA with the uniform in hand. I’m sure I can find someplace to wear it. Â Maybe Muses, maybe MOMs Ball. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Eagerly awaiting more than just your whitefish belly. :-P
As long as you’re leaving later tomorrow and not in the morning, your plane should be cleared for takeoff. Travel out of Ohio tomorrow morning may be a dicey proposition given the strong westerly winds.
See you on the streets this weekend. Travel safe!
Paul and I will be arriving tomorrow at about 1:45pm, and will be at the abode De Stybi shortly thereafter. We’ll see you soon – safe journeys, darlins!
I have to finalize my arrival arrangements w/the Athas’ – but I’ll be arriving by Nola Rouge (my twee Focus) IN New Orleans around 10:30 a.m. Thursday. What a time it will be this weekend! It will be only my 3rd Mardi Gras to attend, and the first time I’m coming by myself and not w/Houston peeps. So, if anyone wants to hang out at the parades and have an extra body around to collect booty and save real estate while the potty is partaken of…ring me, my number is on my FB page (under my real name). Cheers!
