He wrote a book called Fabulous New Orleans and includes some of the most wonderfully colorful stories of the festival that have been printed. He tells his story through the eyes of the child, which means the entire city and Zulu and Fat Tuesday are full of the wonder that they deserve. Check it out here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Fabulous-New-Orleans-Lyle-Saxon/dp/0882897063.

And btw, I think Seersucker and Sazeracs is one of the most impressive blogs around. Cheers to you and Carnival and the South!

Sven the blogger says:
"However, William committed a faux pas that overshadowed the rest of his attire. Instead of wearing patent leather pumps or plain patent or calf leather oxford shoes, William opted for a non shiny, black full brogue wingtip oxford shoe for his black tie outfit! This kind of rustic look is absolutely inadequate for evening wear. Sadly, if the future king of England appears not to care for even the most basic rules of evening etiquette, one might assume there will not be much dress culture left 40 years from now"

Might there be a need to send someone from Seersucker and Sazeracs to properly train the Prince?

Nevertheless, I do have a friend who has a back-buttoning shirt produced in the 30's or 40's that formerly belonged to his wife's great uncle. I'd venture to guess that his shirt would be a "boiled shirt."

In fact, they remain still unworn, years after receiving them. Why?

1. I find them not formal enough for proper White Tie, which is what I typically wear that requires studs.

2. they never stay straight. This drives me crazy. Even if you can manage to get all three pointing up, they are typically at slightly different angles from each other. This just looks sloppy to me, but to each his own, I suppose.

If you look closely one may view these older standards at the Mystick Krewe, however it is more common to see an opera pump then it is to see a stiff-front boiled shirt.

Feelings?
