Hey y'all. Here are a few pictures from the Mask Market this year. I know I should have taken pictures of others' masks, but I am biased.

And here are a couple of goofy pictures of us. After we bought the sunglasses and hats, and as we walked back to our booth, we got a few snickered compliments on liking the hats. We hollered that we were locals not tourists, and we were just having fun. We actually were!

This is my friend's daughter. She is wearing a mask from the guy in the booth next to us. There was an hour left of the market, and we were getting a bored. He let her wear it, and we had loads of fun!

She was being a "hobo" or a "bum". At one point, she was sprawled out on a bench, and one guy passed by and commented, "That's best looking set of tits on a hobo I've ever seen!"
We were DYING!!

The Mask Market happens during the last weekend of Mardi Gras. It is a group of vendors, local & out-of-towners who make masks and sell them for people to wear for Mardi Gras day or for the big Endymion Extravaganza Ball on Saturday night.
