New Orleans Girls Trip
October 28-31
When I say I was exhausted from Mexico I mean it, I was EXHAUSTED, like there was absolutely no reason I should have accepted to go on this trip when I did, but I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans and the opportunity to go during Halloween week with my friends was too tempting to resist, so when my friends told me we were doing girl’s trip part dos I caved.
My friend Bella, was staying down in Missisippi doing some work as a political reporter, and three weeks before Halloween it just so happened we all had a clear schedule for that weekend. I’m glad I accepted to go when I did, because this was a fun trip, a bit unexpected, and I’m pretty sure there was mold in one of the rooms, but lovely and needed. We also changed our names during this trip, one night my name was Scarlett the other I went by Star, I think it just fit the outfit I was wearing. Scarlett wore a red velvet dress with a cut out back and had a mole on her face, Star was more playful and wore some converse and a black velvet mini skirt with a tied up floral pink shirt. The unexplainable reason as to why woman do the things that we do. It was fun, that’s my general consensus for making decisions.
As for the actual Halloween festivities, we originally had planned to be a cult of flowers. We were going to draw on our faces and just be flowers of some abstract sort for Halloween. The plan however did not end up as scheduled. The white face paint was not the move. So we toned the idea back a bit and just kinda got loose with the look. For the rest of the weekend we went to this cute french bar called Bar Marilou, tried some AMAZING Po Boys from Mahony’s and listened to a live band on our walk to down Burbon street. Absolute food favorite, must try from the trip, Bearcat Cafe breakfast spot, the Hot Chicken Crab Daddy, ugh so so so good. We didn’t get to go on a cemetery tour, big bummer. But we got a little lost in the energy of New Orleans Halloween weekend and overall fun short trip <3.
