If you don't know, in the french quarter of New Orleans during big events, especially Mardi Gras, it is tradition and common for tourists to engage in public nudity. Basically women are constantly baring their breasts to the crowds in exchange for "Mardi Gras beads". There are other ways to get beads: they are tossed out for free from floats in the many parades, or you can buy them at overpriced shops.

In any case, these photos have caught many instances of nudity. If this offends you or you are less than 18 years of age, don't look at them please. There are many non-nudity photos in the collection too of course, I suppose I should filter them out for a PG page sometime.

In order to reasonably sure (ok, i know it's weak, if you have a better ID, tell me) that children won't see the pics I've set up a userid and password. Both are the same word and that word is the name of the first man-made earth satellite.
