I can’t even begin to lie about it

Yes, there are pictures.

Even if I wanted to pretend I didn’t dress up like a 27th century bar wench and parade around downtown Tampa with my bosoms hanging out…I couldn’t.

Not only are there way too many pictures out there, some even stupidly self-posted…because these other so called friends photographers are all too willing to just throw me under the float…so I beat ’em to the punch and posted the silly pictures first.

Suffice it to say that we had an absolute blast.  *note to self: wear comfortable shoes next time as the three blisters on my right foot says black leather boots were a bad choice* The kids thought throwing beads to the crazed masses was an absolute HOOT!

I nearly lost it when Nathaniel announced: This is the best fun EVER! I like throwing beads!

Oh, my sweet innocent son, may you never set foot in New Orleans.

And this offense to all the underwire in every bra across the universe was taken by my own loving husband. Frankly, I’m amazed my head’s even IN the picture.  *The next person who tells me they’d like a pint of ale is getting punched in the tenders.*

Huge thanks to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and the Krewe Belle la Femmes for an absolutely fabulous day!

    wow! where do I get one of those?? My husband would LOVE it if my rack did that!!
    Glad everyone had a great time! If Nathaniel like beads you should take him to “Mardi Gras” at Universal 😉 They have beads there! Again I have to say that you take some amazing photos!!

    She’s so funny, I’m not entirely sure where she gets all that diva-ness. I’m just going to have to assume it comes from Pete’s side.

    I just never remember there being an Asian St. Pauli’s girl…I guess they’ll have to branch out!

    Fredricks of Hollywood, baby! Where all the uplifted hooters go to shop…or at least the ones badly in need of uplifting. HEH.

    That boy needs no more encouragement. It’s coming soon enough.

    I would say come up and stay with us next year to go, but hopefully we won’t still be here. It’s a MUST do for the kids, tons of fun!

    The kids will be so embarrassed of those pictures of me someday…almost makes it worth it!

    Dude! I have done NO such thing…mainly because I can’t seem to get my Gasparilla pix off my camera. But still—where’s the love, where’s the trust??? Remember our picture pact???

    Hmm, if that “uplifting” photo is due to some miracle bra or miracle of wire and padding, please share. Mine used to be about 4-6 inches higher than they are now. Oh, the joys of aging…
