    I’m from New Orleans and didn’t get to go to Mardi Gras this year. I’d love to enjoy a little bit of the Big Easy in the City of Roses.

    I would so love to attend this Big Easy gala here in Portland, Oregon. I’ve never gone to any ball at all nor a prom. It would be an unforgettable experience to be able to dress up in beautiful attire for such a grand festivity! Please choose me!! :-)

    There’s only one city other than Portland I’d ever want to live in, and that’s New Orleans! Can’t make it for Mardi Gras this year so the best Mardi Gras party in Portland will have to do.

    This Louisiana native doesn’t miss much about the place, but the food and music definitely qualify and I’d love to experience them in Portland without the downsides (e.g. mosquitos).

    Because I sure do “know what it means to miss New Orleans….” and because I’ve never been to this event, and most of all because I bet I’m the only Mardi Gras fanatic nut in Portland who has turned her still living Christmas tree and wreaths into a Mardi Gras tree and wreaths because that’s how much I can’t live without Mardi Gras! And that’s why I deserve to win. Cheers!
