Naughti Gras 2008 Is Not Just About Boobs And Beads [You Were There]
Posted in art, video, events, violet blue, performance, AB, Mardi Gras, You were there, St. Louis on September 25th, 2008
It’s no secret that we’re big Mardi Gras fans here at Fleshbot Central, and when we heard that just before St. Louis’ own Mardi Gras celebration earlier this year there was a hyooge erotic art show and event called Naughti Gras to kick off the festivities, we were bummed that we didn’t get to see it. That is, until we found out that the good folks at Lo-Fi Saint Louis (finally!) went ahead and posted their footage from the festivities last week, which included full coverage of all the art and performances as well as interviews with artists and promoters alike. Then we were only slightly less bummed that we didn’t get to see it for ourselves. So when is Mardi Gras 2009 again … ?

While the sales copy promises us that “Getting her top off has never been easier!” we think that stopping a pretty girl on the street and asking to see whether her nipples are “Needle Nips” or “Cigarette Butts” is probably only a good idea if you (a) like to get kicked in the nuts a lot, or (b) enjoy that special feeling of being arrested for harassment. Still it’s hard not to giggle at The Nipple Gauge, a titty-tip sizer that can be yours for a mere $6.95 and has not ever been Seen On TV&trade. The site’s got some amusing amateur GGW-style pics and videos of boob-measuring at—you guessed it—Mardi Gras, once again proving that drunken coeds and boob flashing are like fine wine and good company: two great tastes that go great together, and ones that are always rewarding on their own merits.
Leave it to the delightfully debauched denizens of New Orleans to add a twist to the time-honored tradition of the “show us your tits!” bead exchange: just for Mardi Gras 2008 
What compels a seemingly sane and rational young woman with no history of exhibitionist tendencies to suddenly and repeatedly whip her tits out at the first sign of a camera? Scientists have been studying this question for decades and yet no one seems to be able to pinpoint a definitive cause. Is it the shiny beads? The alcohol? The power it holds over dumbstruck male onlookers? It may forever remain one those unsolved mysteries of the universe, like what’s inside a black hole or why the phone always seems to ring when you’re in the bathroom. Even this exhaustive collection of boob flashing videos does not reveal the answer, but at least it documents the phenomenon so future generations may continue to ponder.
