Mardi Gras

As I stare off into space, a sense of joy fills my soul, as I start to daydream. My dream takes me not just through space, but time as well. I am in New Orleans for my favorite time of the year, Mardi Gras. Immediately, I start preparing to participate in a parade which my grandfather helped create.

A Critical Review of The Coca-Cola Case and Mardi Gras: Made in China By Sebastian Vladimir Introduction For my critical review I chose to do the movies The Coca-Cola Case and Mardi Gras: Made in China. The Coca-Cola Case is a documentary film about Coke and labor rights in the bottling plants. Similarly, in Mardi Gras: Made in China it is also a sort of documentary about bead factories in China. In both of these films we view some of the most brutal working conditions a human can possibly go…

to live. To top it off, it was the first year I was able to attend a Mardi Gras ball and that year I was supposed to walk my dad out since he was a masker who rode in the organization’s parade.

I had gone out to buy the most fantastic dress to attend the ball with my father, yet he had falling quite ill around Mardi Gras and had to be taken to the hospital. This shattered my heart. The…

The Krewe of Yuga’s first public ball was shut down by police before it could even get started. This was most likely due to the location choice, it being a private public school (Brief History of Gay). The Krewe still continued to have parties, however. Often mocking nobility by having Queen, King, Captain, debutantes and maids (LGBT Mardi Gras). The Krewe of Yuga is no longer around,…

“Foie Gras” even the name sounds as though its left the french countryside for the weekend and taken a trip up the Chemin de Vézelay, it might even sojourn in Paris for a day or two until reaches the northern border, but sadly, the french delicacy is not as pleasant as its flowery title. Foie Gras, the pinnacle of french cuisine for over 3,000 years, has remained the status quo of luxury as well as many rendezvous, adorning the banquets of many socialites and even gracing the laminate table…
