“This is not Mardi Gras” Although very close! ••••👹•••• Throwback to Detroit's 7th Annual #MarcheduNainRouge parade in 2016. Loved all of the music and dancing, and those costumes!! Revived this year, the parade will be held on March 20th; who plans on being there, and please don't forget to tell us about your costume... 👩🎤👨🎤💃🕺👯 "The Nain Rouge, French for 'red dwarf', is a mythical creature that some believe originated in Normandy, France, as a type of lutin. Contrary viewpoints speculate that the alleged creature is more closely related to the Algonquin myths of 'Glooscap' who, it is said, created protective nature spirits and dwarves in the Midwestern United States. Original legends tell of the creature being seen as a protector of Detroit, Michigan, but, due to modern interpretations, is now feared by its residents as 'the harbinger of doom.'" ~ Wikipedia Also, taking an unofficial poll: if you have a favorite style of the 3 in the post, would you mind commenting your fave below? I’d be willing to send out a Picture Detroit postcard of your choosing to anyone anywhere in the world as a “thank you” (I’d need you to DM me the name and address where you want it sent). 🥰 SHOT: 3.20.16 📸 x @PictureDetroit / Christina Collie ••••••••••••••••••• (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CapDS39rHRz/?utm_medium=tumblr
