There are weeks of celebration leading up to the ultimate party, Fat Tuesday - the sexy, drunken street festival where pretty much anything goes. Mardi Gras in Nola isn’t just a one day event. Seriously, people are fervent in their collection of the beaded stuff. We particularly love the pictures of people reaching for beads like zombies reaching for live humans. That is, if you can hear anything over the mass of revelers begging for beads like goddamn maniacs. The decadent food, the music, the parades - it all screams celebration. While there were Mardis Gras celebrations all over the world, when you think Mardi Gras, you have to think New Orleans. If you missed it, you ought to be jealous. Mardi Gras - the traditional party of excess and sin the night before we all fast and are good boys and girls for Lent (you all went to church for Ash Wednesday this morning, right? RIGHT?) - was last night and the pictures show ridiculous costumes, a crazy amount of beads, and plenty of partying.
