Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dazzling masquerade of New Orleans' Mardi Gras opens its arms wide, dances, and flaunts, full colour and full page, in this book. McCaffety takes the art of portrait photography to North America's biggest costume party. A photographer with an anthropology degree who has recorded cultures all over the world, she returns to her hometown to capture the spirit of New Orleans' masquerade with a sharp wit, fresh vision, and profound sensitivity. The celebration in the streets, with a backdrop of lace-iron balconies and old oaks, combines with stark portraits of costumed citizens photographed in a Royal Street courtyard-turned-studio on Fat Tuesday. Accompanying the parade of images, a wry introduction by Cynthia Reece McCaffety explains the history behind this tradition of costuming and indulgence that goes back thousands of years. Winner of the 2003 GOLD Benjamin Franklin Award from Publisher's Marketing Association, 'Masking and Madness: Mardi Gras In New Orleans' is the only book devoted to the costumes of Carnival, a luminous portrait of the celebration that defines America's most profanely spiritual city, by New Orleans' pre-eminent photographer. Over 170 photographs capture the stunning spectrum of Mardi Gras, New Orleans style.

Download or read book Eureka Gras written by Dan Ellis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday as introduced to the New World by the French, which resulted in carnival events that originated in Mobile that spread to New Orleans and today existing in many cities throughout the United States. The first Mardi Gras occurrence in Eureka Springs was in 1907 with a parade, and that was contributed to by later celebrations such as Masquerade balls. With Katrina, came Dan Ellis and Al Hooks who each contributed to the creation of what has become a ten-day Mardi Gras carnival which is spread over four weeks, that is called Eureka Gras Mardi Gras Extravaganza as produced by the Krewe of Krazo (ozarK spelled backwards). The Sponsors The impetus to this success has been from the Sponsors who in a grand way have not only supported, but also through funding, have enabled an invigorating event to start off the New Year with its annual Kings Day Kick-Off. The Royal Court A major contributing factor to the merriment and spirit of Eureka Gras is The Royal Court, which during each year, includes leading community members who obligate their time and resources in promoting a fun-fest event. The Roi Regency Past Kings and Queens are honored by their ongoing participation. When beckoned, they appear in Royal Regalia and assist in continuing the traditions of a New Orleans style Mardi Gras. The Corps du Cavalier The infrastructure that maintains the heritage of Eureka Gras are those members who have pledged to annually support the Eureka Gras events by their attendance in addition to monetary funding of the Coronation Ball and the Hookers and Jokers Masquerade Ball.

Download or read book The 'Baby Dolls' written by Kim Marie Vaz and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first women's organizations to mask and perform during Mardi Gras, the Million Dollar Baby Dolls redefined the New Orleans carnival tradition. Tracing their origins from Storyville-era brothels and dance halls to their re-emergence in post-Katrina New Orleans, author Kim Marie Vaz uncovers the fascinating history of the "raddy-walking, shake-dancing, cigar-smoking, money-flinging" ladies who strutted their way into a predominantly male establishment. The Baby Dolls formed around 1912 as an organization of African American women who used their profits from working in New Orleans's red-light district to compete with other Black prostitutes on Mardi Gras. Part of this event involved the tradition of masking, in which carnival groups create a collective identity through costuming. Their baby doll costumes -- short satin dresses, stockings with garters, and bonnets -- set against a bold and provocative public behavior not only exploited stereotypes but also empowered and made visible an otherwise marginalized female demographic. Over time, different neighborhoods adopted the Baby Doll tradition, stirring the creative imagination of Black women and men across New Orleans, from the downtown Trem area to the uptown community of Mahalia Jackson. Vaz follows the Baby Doll phenomenon through one hundred years with photos, articles, and interviews and concludes with the birth of contemporary groups, emphasizing these organizations' crucial contribution to Louisiana's cultural history.
