Order of Butterfly Maidens
The Order of Butterfly Maidens was formed in 2000 by a small group of ladies who had been members of other parading groups.
The idea was to form a parading organization that would stay fairly small, so all of the members would truly get to know one another. Some groups are so large that some members don't even recognize each other.
The OOBM paraded for the first time in 2003, and in 2021, members celebrated the group's 20th anniversary.
The group currently holds its ball at the Fort Whiting Armory, and the emblem, Madame Butterfly, wears a ball gown and beautiful butterfly wings.
This year, OOBM paraded on the night of February 3, after the Maids of Mirth.
While MOM took Route G, starting and ended at Cotton Hall, OOBM and the Krewe of Marry Mates followed Route A just as soon as MOM rolled by, starting and ending at the Civic Center.
The OOBM theme was Aww Hell, the Queens. Their emblem float by The Royal Artists was joined by six floats rented from the Conde Cavaliers. Costumes were by Bienville Costumes.
