Gold, Purple & Glitter


Ever wondered why people wear marsks during Mardi Gras? Well, according to this website, in the old times, they were used to cover the identity of secret society members and the rich. Nowadays, they are used so as not to reveal who you truly are while partying. They serve as anonymosity, where you can express who you are truly inside or play out an alter ego, without anybody judging you. This is what Mardi Gras today is all about. Gold, purple and green colors cover the streets but the truly main thing is glitter. Masks also help you get beads if the float riders really like your costume/mask.
