Sista Soul Ninth Ward native Sista Soul was prompted to costume by her husband Soul Saint. “I’ve spent the last 10 years taking photos from the sidelines of the New Orleans Saints games. The thousands of fans who watch the games from home, and even many who are in the stadium, have no idea that there are so many fans who have spent hundreds of dollars and hours of their time to make these fantastic costumes. Their stories are as unique as their costumes.” —photographer Ron Calamia Get your copy of Calamia’s new book Fantastic Saints online at fantasticsaints.com and at Garden District Bookstore and The Who Dat Shoppe in Slidell.
