Gay Easter Parade in the French Quarter

Maria Etkind

I had another fun Easter Sunday in the French Quarter. This year I wore a vintage pastel watercolor 70’s outfit with matching handmade feather flower straw fascinator. I watched the Gay Easter Parade which marches down St. Ann st. in the Quarter at around 5pm. The costumes were amazing as usual! I met some friends and had a few cocktails while we waited for the parade to roll. I also bumped into the Easter Bunny, talked briefly to Jesus and met a man from Houston with a very erotic handmade hat. All I can say is he knows how to work the bias! New Orleans is truly a fun place to live!

Easter Parade 2019 "Bringing back the 60's"

Maria Etkind

This was my first time riding with the Historic French Quarter Parade. The weather was great and my friend and client invited me to ride in her pink Elvis Cadillac. I felt like Barbie! It was great fun!

The Outfit:

I got my vintage dress at Magpie. The dress has a fun Hawaiian pastel 60’s print. Since I was going to be riding in a vintage 1960’s Cadillac I wanted to look MOD and fun. I was inspired by Mary Quant “the queen of the miniskirt” and added white Gucci booties, pink tights and a vintage straw bag.

The Hat:

I blocked the hat out of straw parasisal ( a finely woven straw with sheen, has elasticity, high quality) and cut over 80 goose feathers to create a fun ”fire cracker” feather flower.
