Note: the same debutante and court systems exist for both blacks and whites, but these Mardi Gras assert their members' freedom of association by loosely enforcing "separate but equal"policies to this day. They are equal although there may be age differences that exist between the two by tradition for rites of passage.

those pictures symbolize a wedding with the 18th century's traditions.they are all smiling and do it as if it was real !
even if the costumes are beautiful i can say that this sort of party is not my cup of tea because i've the impression that people aren't able to grew and they seem to be prisonner of an other world like in "Alice in wonderland". It's stupid.Sorry

It looks like a dream: wonderfull dresses, wonderful atmosphere...as if it's not true...
The debutantes are like princess in a fairytale.
This kind of event is the dream of a lot of people:wonderful costumes during the bal and genuine impression of a return in the great past..
Yes, we are lucky in some parts of America!
Remember, though, we spell the French word "bal" with TWO L's: BALLS, and "wonderful" with just one! And, we return TO the past!
wow it looks like a dream,they've got so cute costumes.
what is funny is that mardi gras is a french tradition and that it is celebrating there than in france
I'm so jealous !
I prefer not to be invited at this sort of party because dreams are made for not being lived...
i agree adriane : "NOTHING TASTES AS SWET AS WHAT I CAN'T HAVE"
"what is funny is that mardi gras is a french tradition and that it is celebrating there than in france"
that's maybe because Louisana was a French territory before.
They DO have SUCH cute costumes, and I personally LOVE to be invited to this sort of party because it's an occasion to step out of the rat race and socialize with all sorts of people you only see once in a while. Everybody is very cordial at these events--it takes so much effort to prepare for one of these, that people are gracious just to see it happen. And yes, it is a continuation of French colonial traditions! These clubs date back to the 19th and perhaps even 18th centuries.
