If this doesn't make me the queen of Mardi Gras then I don't..

Each parade (there are dozens during Mardi Gras) has a particular theme. There's King Arthur, Muses, Thoth, to name just a few. You've probably even heard of the parades that step off on Mardi Gras day (Rex, Zulu).
Each krewe has its own court leading the parade, typically sitting atop the most intricate/biggest/famous float in the parade. Those in the court have even more elaborate costumes that look like the one I'm wearing here.
This one is a vintage court robe, handmade of velvet and silk with sequins and beading down the sides. It weighs a ton.
While I'm totally naked underneath it, and Mardi Gras is a time for wild revelry, the actual court that wears these during parades is dressed enough. At least with pasties and panties π
