A Bit Naughtier

.
Naughti Gras 2

There had to be something naughti-ish to call it Naughti Gras. There was all sorts of entertainment that was not, um, family oriented, other than in the sense of suggesting activity that creates families. Well, you couldn't get in if you were not twenty one (there was alcohol for sale!) and, at that point, you were old enough to know what you were getting into. The organizers were carding almost everyone at the door but waived us through on an obvious elderly exemption. Which would have been more embarrassing?

Today is a travel day for me and Mrs. C. I have some business out of town in a few days and we're sticking in some R&R beforehand. I must apologize in advance for a lack of comments on my friends' blogs. There won't be much free time until I get home Wednesday night. Images from the destination soon, after we hang out with the angels for a bit.

Naughti Gras

Naughti Gras 4

In countries that celebrate the combination of Christianity and liquor, March 8 is Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras. The following day is Ash Wednesday, when the penitence of Lent must begin. Or at least that's the theory.

St. Louis got a head start last weekend with the somewhat risque Naughti Gras at the cavernous Koken Art Factory on the South Side. Some people were in costume. What was so naughti about it? Check back tomorrow.


Evidence of idolatry at the Idiotarod is on display today at Downtown St. Louis 365.
