Today is Fat Tuesday&#8230;the peak and end of the Mardi Gras season.  While we normally associate Mardi Gras with New Orleans, the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States goes down in Mobile, AL.  Outside of the United States, this time of the year (immediately before Lent) is called Carnival.  The Carnival of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the biggest carnival in the world, and the biggest popular party on the planet, according The Guinness Book of World Records 2010. The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is also considered the world&#8217;s most famous.  Stay tuned for more Mardi Gras facts and trivia in our Mardi Gras video that will post later this week.  In the meantime, check out a couple of our Mardi Gras inspired designs below.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/designer?sharedDesignId=17070\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ilovenola-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ilovenola\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ilovenola-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ilovenola.jpg 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/designer?sharedDesignId=17071\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ThrowMeSomethin-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ThrowMeSomethin\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ThrowMeSomethin-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ThrowMeSomethin.jpg 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Mardi Gras!
