This Tuesday is Mardi Gras (Mardi Gras is every year on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday).
When people are talking about Mardi Gras following things come into their minds: New Orleans, Beads and the "Flashing" for Beads, Parades, bright colors and parties.
Especially now during the hardship New Orleans has to go through, is Mardi Gras a welcomed distraction from the daunting task of rebuilding the City. Mardi Gras is about community, Mardi Gras is about letting loose and enjoy life.
A few other places celebrate Mardi Gras, but no one does it like New Orleans. No one really knows where or when the custom started and many don't care! One thing is certain, it got the attention of people around the world and made New Orleans the place to be this time of the year.
Most cities in the rest of the country do not have official Mardi Gras Parties, but that did not stop people to party anyway. If night club, bar or private party Mardi Gras is celebrated around the country and Beads worth pennies the rest of the year become a valuable commodity.
But not just Beads an important tradition for Mardi Gras. Wearing colorful costumes is also an integrated part of the Celebration. The official Mardi Gras colors are purple, green and gold; purple represents justice; green, faith; and gold, power.
In 2 weeks is also Spring Break and people are welcoming the "rebirth" of Nature and look forward to rising temperatures kissing the dark and cold winter good bye. Beach destinations gear up to welcome thousands of visitors that are ready to welcome spring with a big celebration.
It's the time of the year when you move the thick and dull winter clothes to the back of your closet and start picking outfits that are fitting the occasion. Showing "flesh" is the motto and the best sign that the winter is over and brighter days are coming.
