| Midori Tajiri-Byrd, Unicorn,during the Chewbacchus parade 2013. |
Mardi Gras is upon us here in New Orleans. Beads, floats, brass bands, and... geeks! Yes, geeks. Our next parade, which rolls this Saturday, February 22, is the Intergalactic Krewe Of Chewbacchus, a strange krewe of science fiction, fantasy and cosplay fans (or BacchanAlians).
I caught up with Midori Tajiri-Byrd, artist, costumer, milliner, baker, make-up artist, writer, musician, parade captain, and weirdo. Midori is essentially a force of nature. She creates amazing costumes, has modeled for me, has done make-up for my photography sessions, and marches in several parades. In amongst all of those things, Midori is captain of the Mystic Krewe Of P. U. E. W. C.
