What Is New Orleans? Muses & Mardi Gras! PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 23 February 2006
My bedroom has a balcony onto the den of the Krewe of Muses. At this time of year, the Muses come each night to toil on their chariots. They often wake me with the clanging of bells and the siren-song wailing of train wheels on railings as they arrive and depart at the den of the Muses. When I stumble onto the balcony to catch sight of them, I am always disappointed. The Muses, you see, are invisible -- except for one night of the year.

Tonight is that night. Tonight, the Krewe of Muses rolls!

Last night, the ordinary working women of New Orleans went to sleep as mere mortals, exhausted, no doubt, from the burdens of Katrina. But today they awoke as Goddesses, for the Muses crept into their dreams and took over their bodies. And for one night the Goddesses will know flesh and the ordinary women of New Orleans will receive the adoration and thanks they deserve.

I know these things because I am a messenger for the Muses. I transmit their communications via e-mail to earth women. I have been to their secret lair and I have loaded ordinary plastic beads onto their chariots, only to see them transformed into Pearls of the Muses. They shower their admirers with hot pink strands, make-up kits, plush spears, shoe bracelets, and even hand-decorated pumps, sandals and high heels.

The word on the street is that some Muses will be passing out panties tonight. What a perfect delight. They have until Ash Wednesday to say "farewell to the flesh" and they intend to make the most of it. "Happy are those whom the Muses love."

Our offices will be closed Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 27 & 28, for Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras. Our staff has worked day and night to bring you a continuous stream of new video. Come March 1, we will have some major announcements here at AuthorViews. Until then, we invite you to lay your burdens down, serve the Muses, and join us in celebrating the heritage of New Orleans!

Laissez Le Bon Temps Roulez Encore!
