 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 the organization celebrated its 10th anniversary during its parade of 2011.

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 11.

While the Maids of Mirth took Route G, starting and ending at Cotton Hall, OOBM and the Krewe of Marry Mates and Order of Hebe followed Route A, starting and ending at the Civic Center.

The OOBM theme was Tropic Like It's Hot. Their emblem float by The Royal Artists was joined by five floats rented from the Conde Cavaliers. Grand Marshal was Tom Hamilton, and Junior Grand Marshals were Kelleen and Keabetsoe Walker. Costumes were by Bienville Costumes.
