Blanc et Noir subscribes to the brass band philosophy: play your horns loud and funkily enough and the dancin' world will follow.

Wild Man - Mohawk Hunters on Sper Sunday, Central City New Orleans 09
Thanks to skeletonkrewe's Chris for documenting the Crescent City during this important phase of its life.
On this wild man you'll notice a grass skirt of Spanish moss. In the Shreveport area I encourage B&N members to gather such material along the shore area of lake Bistineau.

Le Krewe D'Etat wooden nickel - a possibility for B&N
If you like the idea of the wooden nickel throw, drop me an email - trudeau@earthlink.net. It has been a long while since I checked on prices, so I have no idea about the expense.

acrobate: amn example of the elaborate and elegant floats seen in Carnavale in L'Italia
A friend in the Piedmont region of Italy posted this along with snaps of floats festooned with elaborate papier mache figures. The effigies on Italian floats are amazing.
I believe that these were human gymnasts who were to perform as they were paraded.
