apollo ball

I applaud the captain and his krewe for making a decision that, though painful, will safeguard the health and well-being of the whole community.

From the creation of gay Mardi Gras krewes as early as the 1950s to today's all-out gay Mardi Gras balls, this story covers a lot of distance.

The ball featured movies including "It", Forrest Gump", "Hairspray", Beetlejuice", "Steel Magnolias", Star Wars and Trek, Spiderman, Mary Poppins and more.

If you've never been to Apollo, it is quite a spectacle: beautiful gowns, incredible headdresses, well-choreographed dance routines, and a few thousand people bent on having a fabulous time!
