(Save The) Mardi Gras Babes

With New Orleans suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it's important to reflect on all the things we love about that wonderful city—and think about giving something back. I'm sure that, like me, once you peruse these galleries of fine young women flashing their fruits N'awlins style, you'll take a moment to donate a dollar or ten to the American Red Cross and help get the Crescent City back on its feet. Because a world without legions of drunk co-eds getting smacked in the face by cheap-ass beads once a year is—well, it's something no one wants to contemplate. V. Blue
