Have a parade with several cute floats.
Pick a position on the sidewalk within the midst of a fun crowd.
For safety have a secret service presidential posse.
This will insure that you’re not eaten by any land sharks.
Be a good sport when you’re nominated for Mardi Gras Queen. 
My friend J and I will be riding a parade float TONIGHT at the Westgate Mardi Gras Festivities. Yep, the Duchess of Decor could soon become Queen. If you’re local, come on out. It should be fun watching me make a fool of myself.
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
