    Mardi Gras Ball 2015

    last weekend the beautiful Jenny and I attended the annual invitation only 'Mystery and Fantasy Mardi Gras Party' here in Houston, always a good time!
    Before we get to the photos, I should explain 2 points;
    1: The party is Black-tie or 'theme costume' only, This year's theme was "New Orleans Mardi Gras" so not really a lot of costumes. (other than the drag queens)
    And 2: The event is sponsored by a primarily gay Mardi Gras Krewe.

    On to the show...


    Here we are getting ready, black-tie and lightsabers is a thing right?
    I'm sporting the American Heritage tartan from USA Kilts.


    arriving at the party




    There were like 3 other guys in kilts, I only caught a pic of one though



    Jenny loved all the fabulous queens


    This guy is one of my customers at the frame shop! LOL


    Jenny and my xwife Shelley find common ground....grabbing for beads


    Shelley's coworker Stef (who may never be the same again) Jenny, and their beads.


    Lots of folks

    Great photos! I especially enjoy seeing an example of the Galbraith/Hunter/Mitchell/Russell tartan being worn in the wild.

    Darksiders maybe, you seem to be in the "lime-light" with this update. Three of you kilted seems like too few for the crowd. Looks like fun though.

    My first thought was, no not Campbells', or English, then I realized it must be the evil Clan MacSith!

    (meaning no disrespect to either Clan Campbell or our English brothers and sisters.)
