This is just one more reason that hubby & I need to get out to New Orleans one of these years for Mardis Gras.

Krewe of Muses is the only all-female club to have a float in the New Orleans Mardis Gras parade.  And, while most of us know to expect a lot of beads to be thrown at Mardis Gras, the Krewe of Muses have their own souvenirs to throw to the watching crowds.

Individually hand-decorated ‘glitter shoes’:

How fabulous these are!

What’s a shoe-lover to do?  For starters, add one more thing to my ‘When I get to New Orleans during Mardi Gras’ list.

Of course, now I’m thinking about glitter shoes. Sure, there are the Louboutin Glitter Pumps Trainingheels showed us yesterday. But, if you want a pair for a future Mardi Gras that you won’t be too afraid to get dirty, how about trying out a pair of these un peu moins chère versions:
