Oh New Orleans, what a wonderful wonderful city. It has so much history and culture compared to most of the United States that it is forever fascinating to me. Not only that but it is one of the only cities I have ever been to that they truly embrace uniqueness and blunt honesty. I could walk into any store and I never once got the sugary-sweet fake smile and forced kindness that I have gotten in every other city I've ever been in. For the record, that doesn't mean they were rude or unpleasant by any means either, they were just themselves and had no reservations about expressing it. That includes dress style, hair style, and having body modifications too. Seemed like everyone there had visible tattoos, and it was great! I loved being able to see so many people being perfectly themselves, even in their work environment - and I would argue that is a luxury most of us do not have. I cannot wait to go back again and again, and dare I say perhaps even live some day.
Now on to the photos!

Cafe Dumond is a necessity on every New Orleans trip
I couldn't get enough of the art galleries around town!
These wigs were so fabulous. I know several drag queens that would adore these!
I don't know why this picture of my Hurricanes turned out this way, but it's awesome.
This architecture never gets old.
