Hmmmm, if you had been standing on a box with no axe, I would have guessed that your 1965 costume was a prophetic costume of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner!
you really had some good costumes.
In New Orleans.... traditionally the best costumes were/are made "by hand", with things you find, or "just come up with"... not going to a store and buying a costume.
Carnival/Mardi Gras in New Orleans is very different than the annual "Halloween parade" in New York City.
quality costume love it :) have you seen the book !carnival! by barbara mauldin you costume reminds me of some of the images from round the world :)
