Re: 60s Christmas Ball Gown
Clarasita - I went to those games too! Only I was old enough to go with my friends without my Dad as a chaperone!!! LOL :) So much has changed about NOLA. When I left, no one ate blackened red fish (yuck), or had heard of Emeril Lagasse; Compagno's was still the best place to get po'boys uptown. We ate creole food, not burning hot 'cajun' food, and red beans and rice was the Monday house special!!! :)

What fun to read your comment, Clarasita. Alas, I haven't lived in NOLA in 37 years (married a Navy man and left), but I miss the food and fun a lot. When I tell people the correct way to eat crawfish, they cringe. :) I'll be watching the Saints' beat the Cowboys tonight (I was at their very first game in Tulane stadium) as the snow pounds the state of Virginia! Thanks for adding to my walk down memory lane. Blessings to you and yours as well.
