Stand back, everyone!

 

This year the streets of Tar Valon will be crowded.

 

We're gonna have a Mardi Gras Parade!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One tradition that goes along with the Mardi Gras parade is the liberal throwing of beads, candy, trinkets, even fruit and . . . shoes?

 

(See haycraftd's post about the history of Mardi Gras.)

 

 

Revelers line the streets to catch the goodies. Of course, part of the fun is the things that people do to encourage the people on the float to throw more swag their way.

 

 

Beaming smiles, blowing kisses, shouts and cheers, broad winks. Even some (ahem) more risque methods to catch the eye of the men with the bucket o' beads.

 

For this parade, if you're watching, then I'm throwing. What will you do to catch my eye and urge me to toss some beads your way?

 

 

(Please do remember this is a family site.)

 

How about we start with something simple, like this? 

 

 

That will do nicely, haycraftd. LOVE that enthusiasm. Here--catch!

 

 

 

Anyone else want some goodies? You gotta WANT it!

I WANT some!!!!

Oh, Ryrin. You're gonna have to do better than that! C'mon!

This parade just keeps on coming!

 

Look at the colors! The lights! The pageantry!

 

 

But hey! I've still got a bunch of beads and candy and fun surprises. I'm not feeling any love here!

 

 

Who wants goodies!

Do I have to dance or flash?  ?

This is the best I can do.

 

That's better!

 

Ah man, I can't post images again. I'll keep trying...

Sorry, Ryrin. I'll have to owe you some beads for a time when I can post images again. But thanks for your participation.
