We survived. Somehow that always feels like the right sentiment as Fat Tuesday draws to an end. Mose was an unbelievable trooper (as he always is!), wearing his elephant costume all day (with the occasional head removal), dealing with the over-stimulation of crowds, music, masks and merriment. Oh yeah, and he missed [...]

Mardi Gras preview
Posted in Uncategorized on February 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
We’re busily scarfing down breakfast, doing last minute fittings, and preparing to head out onto the parade route. Can’t wait! Until we get back, here’s a preview of Mose’s costume. Once again we worry about unleashing this much cuteness on the world. But we’ll take the risk.
