Hey Mardi Gras lovers,

I shot a documentary at the 2006 Mardi Gras - about the first Mardi Gras after Katrina - and I'm looking for an editor now!

Would you like to help this documentary get done by pitching in on the editing costs?!?!

If so, go to kickstarter (dot) com, and enter "new orleans mardi gras" in the search box to find the project.

Looking forward to hearing from you :-))

no,il carnevale più bello,parlando di italia e sfilata,è quello a putignano

[linky9160]

[TootsieBabexx]

c interessant ca chelamae. PERV.

[MetalOmgz]

[chela077]

[DayDreamCosmetics10]

Mardi Gras's bithplace is France because the translation is french. It's Carnival Season to everyone else.I'm from Louisiana and live here and were celebratin it now

[JEIWILBER]

Mardi Gras = Meat fest ?

[millgrl]

ugh. mardi-in orleans. what about it's birthplace?

[12bstena]

mardi gras birthplace is mobile alabama

[504pkknight08]

@12bstena really who wants to visit dry as Alabama 4 mardigras!!!!!!!!!

[Pyron3002]

Carnival in Trinidad and Brazil blows The United States " Mardi Gras" away. What is Mardi Gras anyways?? The name is Carnival.... You Samba, Sing, watch fireworks, and go to the beach.

[SiiSTALUV]

@Pryon3002

how u gunna tell someone they carnival suck.

now i love west indian carnivals. if ever i would attend grenada carnival over tnt. and yes brasil carnaval is the bomb

but every country has it's own culture and style. you can't tell someone they carnival sucks because they don't samba or do axe or dance to soca. "/

[BellaTune]

@dynastyballer13+Sabbychu, both of you are showing how uneducated you are! Mardi Gras is a Catholic holiday, therefore making it a world wide, not just an American or a Louisiana tradition.

[neworleanshotels]

If your thinking of going to the next Mardi Gras in New Orleans?

Check out our hotel reviews from Real Guest!

[dynastyballer13]

man i always thought mardi gras was like this huge bash where theres nothing but beer, chicks showing off their boobs..they made this look boring as hell

[Sabbychu]

No. You're ignorant and understand nothing about the city. The only people who make idiots out of themselves are the ones that come from other states and don't understand Mardi Gras.

[dynastyballer13]

well i am from canada and don't really give two shits about american traditions or holidays. I gotta say lol..i only seen media attention to riot starters and those stupid girls gone wild footage so i didn't bother even looking up Mardi Gras just based on what i saw. It's like searching up why all canadians go "ahe" at the end of almost every sentence or a question

[SirKnightSilvayne]

@Sabbychu

Excuse me but can you share what you know about Mardi Gras? I've tried looking up it's history but I keep coming across people's own experience, locations, good bars and etc.

[hailqueenspider1]

@dynastyballer13 Mardi Gars isnt about beer & boobs. That's what many people think since sex sells for more attention in the media. Also, Mardi Gras is not boring in the least. Try visiting it first before you make an assumption of it being 'boring'~

[dynastyballer13]

ohh thanks for reminding me, i got to get my passport :P, i didnt say i wasn't going to visit..although i do prefer the booze and women

[504pkknight08]

@dynastyballer13 Dude thats just the family and kids version that you're watching.Trust me come down to new orleans and I swear you would never want to leave. Girls on every corner and plenty of alcohol. Besides this mardi gras was after Katrina there was not enough boobs and beers but in 2010 man oh man!!!!!!!!! = D

[bigding25]

omg i wish i was there thats so fabulous

[cassandraDT13]

around where i live, they don't do a mardi gras

[dualbreathe]

People say they were born gay. No it isn't. They can't resist it but they just think ahh lets just accept it. They freaking need counseling

[neworleanshotels]

If your going to the next Mardi Gras, then check our hotel reviews!

[guerrald]

I know a channel on TV that shows what really happened on this day in 2006. I saw the actual exchange on beads for flashing!

This is youtube, upload something a little more real.

[ExATEOnowIMsuperior]

HAHAHA!!,,, SO MUCH PEOPPLE RECENT PAST PRAY TO GOD FOR A DIVINE PUNISHMENT FOR THE VARIETY OF HORRIBLE SINS AND "VOALA!!" DEVASTATION ARRIVES WITH CATRINA!!!!!

...............WE ARE PRAYING FOR OTHER DIVINE PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WOMENS AN MENS FULL OF HORRIBLE SINS,,,,SO REPENT OF YOUR HORRIBLE SINS !!!ii OR SOON OUR JUSTICE GOD WILL SEND A HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT TO YOU AND HORRIBLE SINNERS THAT KNOWINK THAT DOES NOT REPENT AND REVER HIS SINS!!!ii

[jadtina]

Who the hell is your god... Satan? God is all good and loving! If you are truely of God's people, you would try to "help" these people instead of kill them. You have no right to judge. Only God does. Have you ever been to New Orleans? I have an loved it! It's people like you who give this city a bad rep.... not them. You don't like it? Then stay the hell out!

[MsBattyboy]

God forgives. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". God even forgives you, you vile creature :)

[sunkissedmami18]

who the fuck would actually pray for the devastation, suffering, and death of other ppl. U really need 2 get ur shiiiit together. i swear u were hitler in ur previous life. lol, i feel sorry as fuiiick 4 u :) GO 2 THERAPY

[FEBRAX89]

1:29 nice costume!! jeje

[neworleanshotels]

Great Mardi Gras Video! When your ready to Visit New Orleans check out our Hotel Guest Reviews!

[marceloramires]

Whats the name of these necklaces?

[LaHolly]

Lol, yknow they really should have a cool name or something but we just call them Mardi Gras beads.

The goal is to acquire the very best beads - large in diameter, long length, or unique in shape - and yes girls do flash their ta-ta's for them.

The beads are not valuable at all so why do we want them? Because when it comes to Carnival time, even normally rational people lose their minds for a little while.

;-)

[marceloramires]

Whoa, thank you for these extra-complete answer! appreciate it, really =)

so i guess mardi gras is quite a wild party eh? gosh, i wish i could go there someday. to be part of this animation, and maybe to distribute some beads =P

i'm from Brazil.. in here, only the paid and in the crew ones get naked, but wildness is all around in some cities in here for one week in february.

twt: @marceloramires ;)

and thank you again!

[LaHolly]

Only 1 week in February? I thought Carnival in Brazil was supposed to be even crazier than New Orleans! lololol

Here, the season starts Jan. 6 and lasts till Mardi Gras (the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday). Do you get off of work? It's a state holiday here and most people are out of work or school for Lundi Gras, Mardi Gras, and Ash Wednesday.

:-)

[nathanpoon]

isn't this the festival when girls show their boobs then men give them these necklaces?

[LightingEffectsBruh]

aint it good to live in louisiana ;)

[snap634]

yes it is! I live in Louisiana, It is hot and Humid but the food and people are nice even tho New Orleans is one of the highest murder rates in the country as long as you don't fuck with anyone you will be fine! My favorite part is i get a week off of school for this, and last year at mardi gras i saw 3 girls in a fight it was 2 vs 1 the 1 girl kicked both of their asses and one of the girls had only 1 arm and when she fell she shook the ground no joke! yes it is great to live in Louisiana!

[LightingEffectsBruh]

lol i know i love the time off for school haha

im from jennings! u?

[snap634]

Destrehan

[Hirocheetos]

ow my god fuck everybody!!

[wilmaohman]

This was the 1st Mardi Gras after the storm. N.O. needed the infusion of cash that visitors from out of town brought to the city.

[71Warrior4Jesus]

come to Jesus all

[DarkApple47]

wtf? Where's all the tits, beer and property damage?

[lololwutt3]

HAPPE MARDI GRAS!!

[TankManer]

wheres bam margera

[Zonafia]

Isn't marty gras a few days of drunken debauchery followed by repentence to God? (I really don't know. This is what I've heard at school.)

[m333tt]

some people do drink there, and i guess some repent..but most dont feel the need to...

its about having a good time, the history of the whole thing, and enjoying the music. just enjoying life.

it really is a great place, you should go sometime...there is nothing else on earth like Mardi Gras, Bourbon st. & the French Quarter

if you drink, then drink, if you dont, its all good, they just ask that you have a good time! enjoy the music, the great food, get some beads, and have a good time.

peace

[tangothekittycat]

[kailiz101]

I love Mardi Gras in New Orleans! I used to go every year when I was little, but since I started kindergarten, and since Hurricane Katrina, we haven't been. i hope to be able to go again soon!!

[BrandonBMK]

wtf is mardi gras O.O

[brunomonsta]

[race1717]

I think that's March break. I found that sign on March break.

[pookoos]

You're joking I hope.

[keymaker410]

STYLE??? What style? This whole festival is about as stylish as Yoko Ono, for Pete's sake!

[yumvodka]

Maybe one has to be drunk in able to enjoy it. Ohhh alcohol. You make my life so good.

[babygirl149207]

i wish i could go to the 1 they have in new orleans..i dont think thatll happen for a long time tho.. :.(

[babygirl149207]

kool...im goin to mi middle school next saturday for a party were having for mardi gras....we have to dress up and everything

[Jboxton]

Nice video. A girl friend of mine with huge tits got a few coconuts and the Zulu parade. You porch monkeys gor the spotlight on this one. You should all be hanged. In a good way of course :)

[xVVARRIORx]

nice place ive been atleast 3 times through the city.

[pokw2]

Zomg new orleans mardi gras has strayed so far from what it used to and still should be. a collection of friends WALKING from house to house in the country and begging for chickens,rice,etc. if you want to see what a real mardi gras is, chasing chickens,eating gumbo,and having fun and countinuing a tradition, not modernizing it, look at my video

[alphaking32]

Mardi Gras was off the chain this year. Thats why I would never leave my city and go no where else.

[xofallbabyfallxo]

I miss my city. :( I'm ready to move back.

Ahah. I'm going to all the parades tomorrow, even though I'll have to wake up at like 3 AM in order to do so.

[JanieMelanie]

Long live New Orleans!

10,000 Apologies (2006)

[fudemm]

The soul is lost because the demmocraps are not spending the billions of dollars sent to help the poor.A year and a half later a demmocrap controled state has only spend thousands out of the billions to help the poor.Louisiana is at the bottom of the barrel because of our leaders

[FourE]

we want young horny sluts. not costumes and carnival!!!

[real482]

I WAS THERE

[teedysbabygirl]

ME too it was too fun

[FluxRostrum]

bs propaganda

[mert40]

True, the touristy businesses are back, but the SOUL of the City was sadly lost in Katrina's wrath... lost forever and ever . . .

[andsimplehearts]

I disagree... I think as long as the people are there with the music the soul is always gonna be there. and they're coming back. new orleans is different but we're going to make it, no doubt.

[8members]

every year for carnival time we make a new suit.

red yellow green, purple and blue, we make a new suit
