The Krewe of Rex is the oldest and most traditional of the Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans. The appearance of the King of Rex is considered to be the climax of Mardi Gras. This video includes the floats: 9 Poseidon God of Rebirth, 10 Eastre, 11 Narcissus. 12 Phoenix, 13 Rhapsody of the March Wind, 14 Streetcar Named Desire, His Majesty's Royal Calliope, 15 Chalchuitlcue Jewel of the Aztecs, 16 Freya, Nordic Spring Goddess
Rex should be ashamed of itself. They suck the joy out of Mardi Gras with their elitist attitudes. Their parade should just circle the Garden District so the don't have to mix with the "commoners." The Rex guys all look like they are picking up dog poo when they throw beads to the crowds.
