What’s the point of any Mardi Gras ball?

So women can dress up like sluts, act like sluts, then get upset when treated like sluts. Oh, and some somewhat "wealthy" people can feel important.

Did I miss anything?

People come up with an excuse to have a party and you don't get it?

Never been but I assume it’s like any other MG ball where you want to be seen by folks and get profoundly shite housed

All balls are just an excuse for people to party and act like someone they aren't.

Are we really shaming people for wanting to party and have fun?

Now we just need a “Why don’t older people go out and have fun?” thread, so we can see all the conflicting comments.

Sorry you didn’t get an invite. Not like you could afford a pink sparkly sport coat like us anyway. You’ll never be a mover and a shaker

Pretty much. Just add in pink, phallic table decorations and you've got Spanishtown Ball.

It all started because people were poor and did not have food, so they would go around to neighbors and ask for food/livestock/ingredients. Since they were their neighbors, they would wear masks and hats to hide their faces since they were embarrassed to have to beg. They also did not want to just be given these items, so they would perform dances and sing music in exchange. At the end of the day they would take their newly acquired goods and make a large dish to share with everyone, usually a gumbo.

They crown the most annoying drunks from the last parade. Then get drunk and dance around. Shocking.
