The 'Baby Dolls': Breaking the Race and Gender Barriers of the New Orleans Mardi Gras Tradition
Kim Marie Vaz
One of the first women's organisations to “mask” in a Mardi Gras parade, the “Million Dollar Baby Dolls” redefined the New Orleans carnival tradition. Tracing their origins from Storyville brothels to post-Katrina New Orleans, Kim Vaz uncovers the fascinating history of these ladies that strutted their way into a predominantly male establishment.
