Still Day 2.
The last spot is where I got my biggest beads. From a guy who’d seen me dancing outside the hotdog place (during that swag surf moment) who didn’t get a chance to give em to me earlier.
I was shunned later from a N.O. native for eating at Dat Dog, but I definitely hit up that gator dog. And it was delicious.

I went with the pink, but kept kept the titties covered most of the day.
Meant to free them at sunset, but life comes at you fast.
Also, @tomboicarti is one of the cute things that happened to me during year 33. Slightly before, even. And my Enjibaby!! Hadn’t seen this lil mf for YEARS before this trip.

I stopped posting because life. Then the Rona.
But, it’s 2 days before my birthday and every week in quarantine, I realize how much longer this is really going to last.
As some of you know, one of my year 33 gifts to myself was 3 pleasure trips. Mardi Gras was the 3rd. And it came super close to my 34th Bday, & just as we were seeing our first covid cases in the States. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was my last window of opportunity to travel before my next year.
This was Day 2 starting around sunset when me and @enji16 finally got together after the parade.

Night 1. Still.
@pearlstill was such a perfect host while we were in N.O. They sent us the queer party flyer for our 1st night.
It was everything it needed to be.

Still Day 1.
- Free crawfish while befriending some locals.
- I be sounding like I have an attitude when I don’t. Grateful people like me lol
- I still had half my Verti Marte sandwich by then, so I didn’t even eat any crawfish.
-We’d gathered some beads by then.

New Orleans Day 1.
We spent most of the day on the road, settled our things at our temp homes, & went out for food.
At @vertimarte, I got a shrimp & oyster po boy & it was so good. Also big af.
This is a 24hr spot that had to close after we got our food because of the traffic they were getting.
@goodfriendsbar was a cute accident. We were wandering, looking for any place to stop in for drinks after the hectic energy of the sandwich shop. We found the gays and a lot of the dance floor to ourselves!
