New Orleans has its very own flavor in that, well, in lots of things New Orleans has its own flavor.

I think it was that summer dress comment you made and:
"People in New Orleans have fuzzy outlines.  They're all soft.  Like a Monet.  Not like people up north where they have more definate outlines."

Maybe it's the heat and moisture, but for some reason the ripeness of everything is more pronounced. Joie de vie.
