dsc00940-smallIt was Mardi Gras at casa Wild Dingo this Saturday. We’ve been hermits for too long and we’re at the point where we don’t give a hoot if we have an unfinished bath, no dining table and a mile-long list of things to finish.  And it’s always a good idea to remind yourself why you shouldn’t drink too much on a regular basis. We should have posted a surgeon general warning on the punch bowl that drinking hurricanes can result in a night in jail or a two-day hangover. That punch prevented me from taking any photos during the party, but here are some pre-party and closing party shots.

We provided guests with plenty of ways to disguise their bacchanalian behavior.

Juno already has her eye on her favorite tiara.
I took 10 photos. Loki looked the same in each one never taking his eyes off of me, waiting for my next command.
That husky…she has her own ideas.
