Kali, you really should visit us some Carnaval. I'm beting you'd love it.

It's a plastic baby Jebus, Matt. Of course, some of the older bakeries in the city do interesting tokens and trinkets for their king cakes.

Man, I would love to go to Carnival down South America way.

G and me just back from Carnevale in Venice, where we got all mediaeval on their asses. Boy, do the Venetians have style.



Traditional costumes from Commedia dell'Arte: the Aristocrat (Bauta) and the Plague Doctor. Scary masks hanging above our bed now...

Do you know why the plague doctor has a long beak?

Vinegar. They'd store vinegar down there to "purify the air."

Or so I've read.

Tonight, I eat MMMEAT.

I read where they stuffed it with herbs. But there may also have been vinegar.
