battin' rouge
What da ladies of Louisiana's state capital are doin' to get gussied up whenever there's a gala festival scheduled.
Prior to every big bash, jewelers in La-la State's "Red Stick City" are also "battin' rouge" --- i.e., speedily dabbin da finely-abrasive polish on their prized merchandise --- in preparation to party-goers' flocking into their shops to buy super-shiny baubles to wear when getting all decked out for said wildly-whoopin'-it-up event.
