Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World - Part 2
The bride of Frankenstein's monster is
on the right.
Here is the tour guide. The bird on the
right is the Roc from 1001 Arabian Nights. Note the elephant in its
beak.
The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
Here are some floats under construction.
The rest of the people on the tour were
with a national Methodist campers' group.
There was a movie about Leonard Chess
being made at Mardi Gras World on the day I took the tour. He was the
founder of Chess records, and important blues and R&B label. They
had makeup and catering in one of the warehouses. I didn't recognize
anyone famous.
