Description
(full view)St. Charles Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
Update:
I think that only a couple of you guessed what was actually going on in this photo.Β But here is the answer:
This was the filming of a Turbo Tax TV commercial!
For my friends outside the US, Turbo Tax is an American tax preparation service.Β The theme of the TV ad is apparently when you use Turbo Tax to have your Federal income taxes prepared, you will get your (huge) tax refund from the US government so quickly that it will feel like Mardi Gras, and you will want to go out and party!

I will bet that no one can tell me what this celebration is all about. . .
This will almost certainly go to Scraps when I get home, but I thought I'd share it while in New Orleans. . .

In New Orleans, you can "earn" beads for all sorts of things! I don't recall doing any of those things!

Well... I heard about the "female flashers", butΒ have No idea what else you'd have to do
I'm glad you were well behaved Richard!

Well Cher, I hate to tell you this, but I'm convinced that a fair number of the female "extras" participating in this TV commercial were actually older strippers from one of the nightclubs in the area.Β

I would go for Mardi Gras, but I think it's a Christmas market!

No, but that's as good a guess as any!
