Nutria-palooza! on the Bayou
SCROLL DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS TO VENUE
Fashionistas put their best fur forward in a multimedia event that celebrates the notorious Louisiana marsh-muncher as cultural icon and fashion statement.
Acadiana fiddler Esther Tyree and accordionist Jimmy Macdonnell provide the live soundtrack for the cavalcade of models on a spectacular outdoor runway on the banks of Bayou Vermilion, where they'll sport nutria fur fashions by 18 cutting-edge New Orleans and Lafayette designers.
Expect everything from elegant Mad Men-era cocktail wraps to surreal flights of fancy that recall the late Alexander McQueen, capped by a wild "Outfitz" performance by MC Sweet Tea and da Tastee Hotz.
Also on deck: sassy nutria dancer Sarah K. Borealis; and Roger Kash and Bruce McDonald of Lafayette's Cat Head Biscuit Boys, who go on the hunt with"$5 a Tail"
Saint Street Inn will whet guests' appetite for the main event with spicy nutria meatballs, while co-sponsor Bayou Teche Brewing will stock the bar with its local craft biere.
Covet that nutria stole? After the fashion show, audience members can bid on favorite designs at a lively wetlands benefit auction. Nutria hats, bags, accessories, nutria-teeth jewelry and one-of-a-kind designer pieces will also be for sale in an on-site boutique.
True to the Righteous Fur motto - "Save Our Wetlands. Wear More Nutria" -- the event will also sound the alarm about our vanishing coast, with volunteers on hand to get people involved in the fight to save our wetlands.
Part of all proceeds from ticket and fashion sales benefit the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary Foundation, which works to restore our vanishing coast.
