Mardi Gras - 10 Years Apart

1950 Duke and Duchess of Windsor share a float in the Rex Mardi Gras Parade.

The Duke and Duchess (Wallis Simpson) at the Ball, being received at court by Rex, the King of Mardi Gras - 1950.

1960. A Duke in Costume for Krewe of Terpsichore. 

And a good laugh was had by all.  I wonder who this person could be?!?

And so it goes.

    having late lunch at my desk. Visit your blog. Almost spit up my soup. Where did that picture come from? My God, I can't believe it. I have to say you have changed a bit over the years. And you know I love you at any age.

    I probably did, but I was 4 at the time, so if they weren't throwing beads, I was not likely to be interested.

    Oh, that pout and those legs. Wow! Let's go back to New Orleans in 1960. I want to see this for myself. Good that you lost the pout. Does nothing for you.
