It was a good sized family oriented crowd.\u00a0 Iris, the oldest parading women&#8217;s krewe in the New Orleans Mardi Gras, had at least 6 bands from Memphis, TN.\u00a0 We caught some cool beads and throws at Tucks, they are a very irreverent krewe with a giant toilet bowl float they use every year.\u00a0 They throw rolls of Tucks toilet paper, miniature plastic toilets that shoot a stream of water, and other crazy throws. They feature their own original marching groups, such as a big foam rubber Dragon group, and the Duck Brigade.\u00a0 Iris is a very mainstream krewe, almost the last parading female krewe in New Orleans. Fortunately, Muses, a much bigger woman&#8217;s krewe has come to the fore the last decade to join Iris.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1191\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.carnivalneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-Tucks-foam-rubber-dragons.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1191\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1191\" title=\"2010 Tucks foam rubber dragons\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.carnivalneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-Tucks-foam-rubber-dragons.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.carnivalneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-Tucks-foam-rubber-dragons.jpg 640w, http:\/\/blog.carnivalneworleans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010-Tucks-foam-rubber-dragons-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2010 Tucks foam rubber dragons<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iris and Tucks rolled down beautiful St. Charles Avenue on a clear blue day.
