December 27, 2011 I loved the shout out to Tim Tebow! And the fact that Betty still thinks quarterbacks are hot! But I do have to disagree... Drew Brees is pretty awesome, but he doesn't mean more than Mardi Gras or bourbon to New Orleans
Hot Chelle Rae will crisscross the country for three months early next year on the Beautiful Freaks Tour. Today, the band revealed more than 30 dates for the trek, which kicks off Feb. 10 with a show at Family Gras in Metarie, Lousiana.
December 5, 2011 Can you believe 12th Night is coming up Saturday, January 7th?!?! It's an early Mardi Gras season and a quick one at that. Check out the latest calendar from Captain of Captains, Doug Kochenderfer!
December 5, 2011 The wolf pack is coming back! Bradley Cooper spills the beans!
November 2, 2011 As you know, my husband and I are involved in Mardi Gras here in the SBC and are personally members of the Krewe of Atlas where we serve as the Duke and Duchess of Lagniappe IV. We're proud of our Krewe and love our fellow Royalty, and with that being said, when the Queen Ruth Grafton speaks, we listen!!!
October 3, 2011 In their traditional, non-traditional way, the Krewe of Atlas revealed their royalty for the upcoming 2012 Mardi Gras season with much fun and frivolity Saturday night at the American Legion in Shreveport. The Krewe of Atlas, known for it's diversity, hosted the Island of Shipwrecked Fools themed Coronation, where yours truly was crowned the Duchess of Lagniappe IV along hubby Keith, who isn't a duchess of course, he's the Duke of Lagniappe IV... Even though he looks quite nice in eyeliner!
September 30, 2011 Ain't no party like an Atlas party and the Krewe of Atlas is going to be throwing down tomorrow night starting at 7pm at the American Legion. The Royalty Presentation begins at 8pm!
September 13, 2011 The Louisiana State Fair is celebrating Mardi Gras in the SBC with special discounted, "Ride all the Rides" tickets for only $20.00. That's a savings of $8.00 off tickets at the gate and $4.00 off ticket prices at Brookshires.
September 12, 2011 Until I got involved with Mardi Gras locally, I didn't know there were literally events year round! Get in the Mardi Gras spirit and Let The Good Times Roll at any of these local events!
August 29, 2011 I had a BLAST at the Gemini Coronation this past Saturday night even though it was kinda of bittersweet because my brother-on-law passed on the Captain-ship (sp??) of Gemini. Both he and his lovely wife Jolene did an amazing job for the Krewe in the past year.
August 26, 2011 I'm getting totally excited for the Krewe of Gemini's Coronation tomorrow night! My brother-in-law, Robby Woods, will be relinquishing his title as Captain and we couldn't be more proud of his auspicious reign! All Hail!

Here's the latest list of Mardi Gras events courtesy of Captain of Captains Doug Kochenderfer. Yes, we do have Mardi Gras in August... except I don't like to wear as many beads because they get hot, then you sweat and your neck turns green and purple;)
