May the Grand Duke Alexis ride a buffalo in Texas
The other day, I recieved a rather large envelope in the mail.
The contents? An invitation to the Rex Ball. Unfortunately, our krewe rambles that day, and will most likely be too inebriated or perhaps unconscious for the 8pm white tie event. I don’t even have a tuxedo t-shirt.
Maybe next year.

Hi, I lost the 3 Rex invitations I had in the flood from Katrina. I would love to have one to save. I think the invitations are really beautiful. If you want to sell, please let me know.
Much thanks.

Sorry Debbie, but I don’t think I have it anymore. If I run across it, I will definitely let you know.

Carlotta Bonnecaze is my great-great aunt. She was an old maid. Aunt Carlotta, however, was much more devoted to the Krewe of Proteus.
