Southern Decadence 2018
Southern Decadence is a uniquely New Orleans institution. It began as a bar crawl about 40 years ago and has evolved into an almost week long party. Bars host events, there are Grand Marshals, there are contests, a meandering parade, and people come from all over the world to participate, party, drink, and have lots of sex. It has been said that it is the largest festival in New Orleans after Mardi Gras. And the vast majority of participants are gay! Now isn't that a kick in the rubber parts?
​
Through it all, the Big Easy Sisters are there, participating every way we can. This year we offered the blessing at the Mr. Louisiana Leather Contest, hosted by the Lords of Leather; offering commentary and helping everyone with the NOLA Pups and Handlers, and hosting a table at the Phoenix Block Party where we sold our amazing Jell-O shots and our Cute As Fuck Nuns, and we walked in the Sunday Parade. We had a blast!
