The Art of bead buying






I try to have a nice collection of beads for the ladies to choose from, but I have to admit I kind of lean to the childhood side of bead selection and buying. I like to buy; the flashy beads, the brightly colored beads, the cartoon character beads and of course the big ball beads. Having a large selection of beads means you will not get turned down for flashing. I am usually done with buying beads and almost never by beads during Mardi Gras. I begin buying beads for the next Mardi Gras normally thirty days after the current year’s Mardi Gras. I like to use select group friend’s daughters to assist and give me advice on what they like and do not like about the Mardi Gras beads and why. I look for beads in the oddest places; convince stores, gas stations, and garage sales. By always being on the hunt for beads I have a large selection and at a very affordable price.

Friends of mne




Just some friends of mine, getting ready to go out and have fun and earn their beads.

Everyone wants Beads







Beads are the currency and status symbol of Bourbon Street. All the ladies want a neck full of beads, big beads. Most ladies stand under the balconies and cut deals for the beads some cut deals on the street. A growing number of young ladies stand under the balconies and beg for the beads and are unwilling to earn (Flash for) the beads. The young ladies that flash go away happy with their beads, the young ladies that don’t flash may or may not leave happy.

This was a onetime deal, the young lady wanted the big ball beads and she earned the beads, she was fast but I’m good. (I got the flash!)



Three New Finds







I’m always on the lookout for new and different items to turn into favors on Bourbon Street. I try to keep in the theme of New Orleans, Louisiana and Mardi Gras. New Orleans, Louisiana and Mardi Gras to me is the Fleur de lis, Jazz music, crawfish/lobsters, they look the same, and alligators. Since Disney’s movie the Frog Princess I really try and keep frog items on hand.

The one frog item I have girls always want to flash for it, but I don’t take flashes for this item. I even has a young lady come out of her dress to flash for this item, it is our signature item and it is VERY popular. (No it’s not SpongeBob.)

My last outing yielded three nice bags; a Teddy Bear purse, and a Unicorn backpack and a Bat backpack. I also found by blocks, this was a surprise they were less than two dollars.
