These custom-made trains are made uniquely & personally for each queen and are constructed with luxurious materials to pay tribute to the history of Mardi Gras. After these trains have been retired, they are kept in a museum for future generations to enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-51429422381910373462011-02-26T12:44:26.567-06:002011-02-26T12:44:26.567-06:00Subtle.Subtle.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643452224581299384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-72453015267367707662011-02-23T12:04:48.574-06:002011-02-23T12:04:48.574-06:00I just think it represents so much waste in a sing...I just think it represents so much waste in a single costume. I'm assuming it won't be worn much, and that once she's done with it, it will sit in her closet.

I have the same visceral reaction to it, but can't really justify it intellectually. I wear leather shoes and a leather jacket. I think you have to either forgo animal products or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-28298859294923962862011-02-22T23:12:22.794-06:002011-02-22T23:12:22.794-06:00Incredibly tacky!
