Krewe of the Bosom Buddies – 2020
Mardi Gras, baby. Mardi Gras. Time when all manner of weird shit cuts loose and parties down. ~
At Mardi Gras, one of my favorite parades is a walking parade in the French Quarter named the Krewe of the Bosom Buddies and Breast Friends. I first encountered this Krewe in 2016 when I photographed them.
So this year I was really excited for an opportunity to shoot them again. This is a joyous walking krewe that parades a loop down Bourbon Street and through the French Quarter. The theme this year might of been Wheel of Fortune but I’m not really positive. A great moment I had was being quizzed by one of the Krewe about Dr. Who. I failed, but she gave me a pin from her hat anyway.
It’s a great little parade and I had a blast photographing it as usual. So enjoy the photos below, starting with the parade leader.
