Xena-philes and crossing the Nile(s)
Never mind the marching police, among a recond 300 floats in the 20th
anniversary Mardi Gra parade will be 122 "Warrior Princesses" playing
homage to the woman whose cunning stunts have inspired this year's
Marching Girls entry. Xena herself has been invited to lead the warriors-in
-waiting but the woman who leaps tall Greeks at a single bound is yet to
confirm. With the girls partying on in their breastplates it could be a good
night for Gabrielle lookalikes. The float is being organised by parade
committee member Julie Earngey and cheoreographed by Virginia Ferris.
Meanwhile Fred Nile and fellow party-poopers says they will blockade
the policy entry. We look forward to the full turn of the wheel - protecting
the State's finest 20 years after they gave our gallant 78ers the bum's rush.
