The theme for BB’s will call event is Jazz Funeral! Per Suki (VioletChaos) –

"Considered a great honor, this is one of the most distinguished aspects of New Orleans culture. Its roots lie in the customs of the Dahomeans and Yoruba people, and is a celebration of both the persona's life and the beauty and solemnity of their death. The procession is lead by the Grand Marshal, resplendent in his black tuxedo, white gloves and black hat in hand; almost a vision of the great Baron Samedi himself. The music begins with solemn, tolling dirges, moves into hymns of sorrow, loss and redemption. When the burial site is reached, a two-note preparatory riff is sounded, and the drummers start the second-line beat, heralding the switch in music to joyous, upbeat songs, dancing, and the unfurling of richly decorated umbrellas by the second line: friends, family, loved ones and stray celebrants. Strutting, bouncing, and festive dance accompanies the upbeat ragtime music that sends the departed soul onto its next journey."

 

This quote, taken directly from the Lab's own scent description, is an apt picture for us as we move BedlamBedlam out of this world and into the next.

 

Costume ideas include Bright parasols; ribbons; lace; wide-brimmed hats; Victorian Mourning attire; mausoleums; tombstones; flowers and little cloth hankies. Prepare to caterwaul and throw yourselves on our coffin!
