Marie Laveau, who lies in one of the most famous, most visited graves in New Orleans.... looks better dressed in that oil painting than any of the attendees of this state dinner, and her outfit is infinitely more appropriate than that of her alleged gggggggg-granddaughter Desiree, LOL

Here’s an oil painting of Marie Laveau. The travel channel has some documentary about graves of the rich and/or famous, and they spend quite a bit of time at her grave in New Orleans where 1000000s of people come to “pay respects,” and leave prayer requests and/or “payments” for same.
