Sights Seen at the Mystic Krewe of The Lords of Leather Bal Masque XXVIII
This is a Mardi Gras tradition called a Bal Masque, and this particular Bal Masque is also a Bal Tableau. It is as much theater or anti-fashion show as ball and the involves a grand procession of elaborately costumed walkers each portraying a specific concept within a grander general theme. The theme of this year’s bal was “Circuit” and each walker portrayed a different city on the party circuit. San Franciscans will likely think of Beach Blanket Babylon. Dress code for attendees: Full Leather, Black Tie, Floor Length Gowns, Bal Masque Costume. Here’s a Centurion Waterboy. And for a preview, here.
