Contest 45: MARDI GRAS

Mardi Gras. Beads. Scantily clad bodies. Floats. Feathers. Dancing. Outrageous costumes. Drag queens.* Drums. Carnival. Pancakes.
This year it falls on the 24th of February.
Be weird and creative.
*Little known fact: Even though I'm a woman, for hilarity's sake I entered the 2005 drag queen contest in Second Life and won. Yes, it's true - I have the "Miss Fabulus shash" (sic) to prove it. The poster image is supposed to be a drag queen.

Cash prizes.

You may make something like an animated texture or other cool thing if you want. You don't have any tight limits. If you make something cool that doesn't seem to fit the "textures" requirement just enter it anyway.

Straight snaps or manipulated - it's all good.
