Today is one of my favorite holidays... Mardi Gras. Ah, Fat Tuesday, how I love thee. What's not to like? It's a day dedicated to booze, girls who flash and some cultural events or something like that. While New Orleans is clearly the epicenter of the festivities, you don't have to be in Louisiana to get in the spirit. There are parties are the country and if there isn't a suitable celebration near you, create your own. Just make sure to bring the beads... lots and lots of beads. As a little reminder (as if you needed one), check out our gallery of girls wearing beads and happy Mardi Gras!
