Phantom of the Mardi Gras

The Phantom has long been a fixture of the official Mardi Gras scene, appearing even on floats and at parties. His enigmatic presence charms all the ladies, and fits perfectly into this time of revelry and reverence.

You need to wear beads at Mardi Gras time, and what better kind than Phantom ones?

Movies-

Any Phantom film with the Masquerade scene. Ditto for music.

Mardi Gras flavor-

A good CD of Mardi Gras music and decorations in green, purple and gold are a must.

This is also a grand time to drag out those prayer candles in the Mardi Gras colors. For Catholics this is an excellent time to honor French saints or ask them for help.

Food is a must at Mardi Gras time, and you are only limited by your imagination.

Masks- Any kind of mask works for Mardi Gras, yes even Phantom ones. You could also try a domino print.

Costumes- Any character from the Phantom’s rich and varied appearances. Mardi Gras is all about fun, so the more outrageous and flamboyant the better.
