Essence Fest is 99% black women at the actual events, with the streets filled with black dudes checking out the black women in their unapologetically black outfits.


One of my best friends was an ASM (area sales manager) at Dillard's here in BR years ago. He always told me that not only did shoplifting numbers go up exponentially on Essence weekend, but returns to the women's departments always spiked on the Monday/Tuesday after. Women would come in Thursday, "buy" their outfits, then return them after the festival.

Said it happened every year. You could track it.

There isn't a Dillard's anywhere near Essence Fest.

Why would Essence Fest attendees who are all staying downtown, get in a cab or rental car, get on the Interstate and drive to Metairie, and shoplift?

You're full of shite, and so is your imaginary friend.

Again... Essence Fest is a completely different cut of human from what comes to New Orleans for the Bayou Classic.
