Oh What a Night!

It has been a full 24 hours since the Krewe of Muses hit the streets of New Orleans.  What a fabulous day we had!  I'll have more pictures to post later once they're all downloaded, but I thought I'd give you a sneak peak into our day.

Sarah and I on the Float 19 party bus!  It was awesome.  It came with a Snookie pole, if you know what I mean, a fog machine, and a sweet stereo!  I started the day in my new purple wig named Foxy!  I'm in love with it!!

This wasn't the first time a bunch of blue haired ladies dined at Galatoire's, but non have ever looked this fab!  

We entered the pre-party led by our float lieutenants and our amazing sign!

Sarah and me on the dance floor!!!  We did enough "rain" dancing to keep the bad weather away!

There were two amazing announcements made at the preparty.

The first - we were the winners of the headdress contest!!!!!!!!  This means we get to ride in float one, the title float, in 2011.  I think we screamed for five solid minutes when they made the announcement!!!

Second - You know how much I love the HBO show Treme.  Well.....  they set up three locations along the route to film the parade for one of their upcoming episodes.  How flattering!!!  They know a good thing!

I saw so many of you on the route.  It was truly amazing!  I hope you enjoyed the parade as much as I did!!!
