Costume designs for Carnival royalty
Olga Peters was a twentieth-century New Orleans artist
and teacher, whose interests included ballet, choreography, ceramics,
metalwork, and fashion design. She was
educated at Newcomb College and Tulane University, through a Master of Arts in
1940. In 1983, she donated her numerous and imaginative costume design drawings
and paintings to Tulane University, specifically those created for the krewes
of Dorians, Bards of Bohemia, and Babylon.
LaRC Manuscripts Collection 684, Olga
Peters Drawings, 1927-1976, also includes typed correspondence, Carnival and social ephemera,
and several black and white photographs
of the fanciful costumes being worn by the local royalty for whom they were
custom-made.
Another similar contemporary collection is Coralie Guarino Davis Costume Designs,
1953-1981 (LaRC Manuscripts Collection 723).
Featured there are drawings for krewes in New Orleans (Maids of Troy,
Ancient Scribes), New Iberia (Andalusia), and Lafayette (Faed Setum). Both collections are primarily designs for
women’s gowns, but secondarily include some designs for men’s Carnival costumes.

I'm here to applaud the good work of Dr Amber that has really been wonderful doing good with his magical spells. I usually play the lottery but coming up with a big win has never been my thing not until I came in contact with Dr Amber who a lot of people have been so thankful to for his miraculous doings. I told Dr Amber that I needed to win the Lottery in a big way that Lottery winnings have never favored me from the very start. He explained to me that not everyone is luckily blessed to win the Lottery but with his spells, he can make me a Lottery winner and I agreed to what he said. He prepared the spell for me and told me the exact ticket to pick that made me a winner of £180,000,000 MILLION POUNDS. I made sure Dr Amber had 10% from my winnings because indeed his spells are magnificent. Thank you sir for all you do.
