Mardi Gras bead flash

A custom which originated in New Orleans, but has traveled easily elsewhere, where a young woman displays her boobs (breasts) for Mardi Gras glass bead necklaces.

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras: I will give a Mardi Gras bead flash with my exquisite minatures to the Burbocam as is my custom; after all, I am proud to be a New Orleanian and keep to our historical rights. Blank Katrina!
