Two of my sorority sisters and I decided to take a road trip to Mardi Gras in New Orleans our Junior year. Lee was the instigator, as usual, but we were all interested in attending the famous party. I, at least, had no 'wild' plans; I now suspect Lee did.
We arrived in the Big Easy a few days before Mardi Gras with bright eyes, and no expectations, securing a prime room in a hotel just off of Bourbon street with Lisa's bottomless credit card.
We checked in and went to the parade week, which was really astounding in its colors and sounds, and a big party atmosphere. We then journeyed to Bourbon Street and partied; Lisa and I drinking while Lee watched out for us, then rotating into Mother Superior role to allow the other two to have fun without the risks of being drunken females at a party. Lee is a notoriously bad choice for this role, but she kept a good eye on us.
We watched an unbelievable amount of craziness--girls mostly, but some guys--flashing and more. Lisa and I went on stage with a few other girls to dance, but we both declined to go any further. At around midnight we were spent, and walked to our hotel.
Morning was awful for me. We ate breakfast--me mostly picking at the food--and then split up; they went on a plantation tour, I went to bed. By evening when they returned, I was feeling at least somewhat better. Over dinner, I readily volunteered to be the Mother Superior. That's when Lee said, "Well, if you're going to be the Bitch tonight, there's something you should know."
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I'm going to do it tonight."
"Do what?" I asked innocently.
"Get some beads."
"You mean...?" I could tell by the look on Lisa's face that she already knew.
"Lee, you shouldn't!" I protested. Lee is not the type of girl to listen to the voice of reason. "Lisa help me!"
Lisa just shrugged as Lee smiled smugly.
"Fine," I sighed, "but no sex acts!"
"Maybe," Lee smirked.
"NO!"
