One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten is...
"Google them and call." 😂 I know, this sounds hilariously simple! In fact, my husband and I have made it a staple jokey saying around our house.
So, the story of "Google them and call": I think its quite obvious that I like performing. I am from New Orleans and have been going to parades ever since I could stand. I have always always loved them so much.
In a Mardi Gras parade there are a few elements: the floats, the bands and the throws just to name a few. There are also various themed walking/dance krewes.
I would love it when the dance krewes would walk by in their amazing outfits. They looked like they were having so much fun! I remember watching sashay on by and I turned to my mom and said "Oh this one is my favorite. I bet you have to know someone or something to join." *sigh*
After that Mardi Gras season I threw up a status on Facebook and asking if anyone I knew was currently in a walking Krewe. A long time friend and seasoned Mardi Gras enthusiast commented "Google them and call".
You can tell what happened next, I Googled, I called, I got the info, I tried out, and guess what- I got to spend my last year in New Orleans as a mermaid.
Like I said, I have been to many a parade, but being IN the parades was an experience I'll never forget. So thank you Ms. Laura for the simple advice. ✨
