Kudos to Krewe La Rive Gauche for being named the best float in the 2011 edition of the Oak Cliff Mardi Gras parade on Sunday.  Their theme was “All that Glitters is Gauche” and the French-themed costumes and colorful float from the Krewe lived up to the name. Add in some eclectic music, from Lady GaGa to Maurice Chevalier, and you had a winning combination.  Best of all, the Krewe had a fabulous time throwing thousands of beads to the children of Oak Cliff.
