My parents grew up in the fifties. To me, everything about that era seemed kind of bizarre. I mean, who would really wear bobby socks and saddle shoes?

I grew up in the 1970’s. What I remember most about the 70s was that every time I turned around, someone was having a 50s party, where everyone would wear bobby socks and saddle shoes. I didn’t understand the fascination, or people’s tendency to spend so much time looking over their shoulders trying to relive an era that was gone.

I love Mardi Gras. In fact, just writing the words Mardi Gras makes my pulse quicken a bit. Mardi Gras is something absolutely everyone should experience at least once in their life, so if you’ve never been part of it, maybe this should be your year. Of course, I’m partial to any excuse to dress up and hide behind masks. And I’m equally partial to being surrounded by people who are ready and willing to let their hair down.
