Dressing Up

I have to get outfitted for the Petronius ball this week. For all my years in New Orleans, this will be my first real Carnival ball. Petronius is the oldest gay krewe, and Grey is their official photographer, and it's formal which means we both have to wear tuxedos, so AAAARRRRRGH. He is helping me with most of the outfitting, but I found the perfect jacket with my mom's help today at Uptown Costume & Dancewear.





It's actually part of an "Elegant Lady Pirate" costume, the rest of which will be useless to me (though Grey wants the lace cravat), but we can butch it up as needed. Unfortunately, I won't be wearing the Drew Brees jersey to the ball, though I would be proud to wear the latter, as it was a hell of a good season and a hell of a final game.
