I bought this mask in New Orleans several years ago, but I've never been there for the Mardi Gras celebration. NO is such a unique city and I'm glad they are finally getting back to near-normal. Hopefully, some areas will be/have been re-built better than they were before the hurricane.
I treasure this mask but I have to keep it on a very high shelf, because my cat Sofia loves to eat feathers. It reminds me of fun times in the city... if you go, be sure to try the crawfish etouffee and beignets... not necessarily together.
