MARDI GRAS BEHIND THE SCENES

Oh, what fun we had! From all of the crowns and gowns to the clamps and endless coordinating, we all had an absolute ball creating this 2023 Mardi Gras special issue. Without our talented photographer extraordinaire, A-list glam squad, social media expert, dedicated wardrobe stylists, a magical wordsmith, and more — this issue simply wouldn’t be possible. Naturally, it doesn’t stop there. From the generous clothing retailers to the various location coordinators, creating unique and first-class content is no easy feat. But, we do it because we love it. Not only important to the community and our history, these court members and their families deserve to be honored with all the pomp and circumstance we can muster. From country clubs to battle ships, we went the distance and hope you’re as thrilled with it as we are.
