one end with shredded rope and dipped in
wax in its infancy the tradition was
carried out both by slaves and freed
African Americans as a way to earn money
since people would toss coins at the
torch bearers for doing their part to
light the parade route nowadays those
carrying torches dance through the
street turning what was once a necessity
into a spectacular show number two masks
are required by law for float riders you
don’t have a half of the wearing of
masks on Fat Tuesday is a long-standing
tradition in the early years of the

down social barriers allowing carnival
goers to mingle with whomever they
wanted free from the class constraints

your unmentionables in public is a big
no-no with the local authorities making
the relationship between beads and
expose flesh all the more uncomfortable
is the fact that in the early 1900’s
beads were meant as gift thrown from a
float by the physical embodiment of
wholesomeness himself Santa Claus
