| Why Mask?
It is traditional to wear a mask on Mardi Gras Day. Wear one instead of a costume, or with a
costume. For one day you can be anonymous. Many hollywood celebrities come to New
Orleans and mask because for one day because they can be truly be free. Masks can express
your inner secretive personality or your alter ego.
Did you ever want to be someone else? You can live out a fantasy. How about walking
through a crowd of people and not one person knowing who you are? That kind of freedom
is why people come to Mardi Gras -- to let out their alter ego.
Masks (and costumes) are also used at the parades and in the French Quarter to get attention
from the float riders and the balcony revelers, so they will throw more stuff if they like your
costume. Couples often color coordinate or deliberately contrast. Groups of friends can all
wear the same mask. Men dress as women and women dress as men. It is a blast! Order Now!

| History of Masks
Imagine walking through a true masquerade ball of olden day New Orleans. Men dressed in their finest tuxedos and women in magnificent ball gowns. Everyone dons a mask leaving much to the imagination. Elaborate stick masks entice others at the ball with only seductive eyes and sensuous lips exposed. The mystery behind a mask lives today in New Orleans for one magical day, Mardi Gras.
Masks have been worn in New Orleans during masked balls for centuries. Masking originated
with secretive organizations (carnival crews) and the secret upper class. No one knew who
they were and they could stay anonymous. The concept of wearing masks moved to the street where everyone would wear a mask and have a big celebration on the street. Order Now!
