The day before Ash Wednesday; the end of the Carnival season which begins on January 6. It's a public (and paid) holiday in New Orleans, so there's not really much to do after the parades. Of course, there is Bourbon Street, but only if you're a hopeless alcoholic, a complete loser, or a skank who is willing to show her breasts for Chinese plastic beads worth about twelve cents.
The day before is called Lundi Gras.

Man 1: "Dude, I waited until the night before Mardi Gras to go to New Orleans, because I didn't know that there's nothing to do the next day. Even the coffee shops were closed!"
Man 2: "You're an idiot."

In Australia, Mardi Gras is a celebration of the Gay Lesbian, Bisexual and Trangender community where they participate in a parade with floats that are flamboyant and often depict naked people. This parader celebrates the LGBT community and is often attended by straight people, supporting the community. Groups involved are the "Dykes on Bikes", PFLAG etc. This parade has alot of nakedness, mesh and plastic clothing.

Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" Originally created in Mobile, Alabama but now made into amazing shit by New Orleans, Louisiana. Although Mardi Gras Day is the big day of celebration it is the days, or should we say nights, that are really celebrated. Random hookups, exposures of oneself, and complete and total memory loss and lack of judgement occur on these wondeful nights.
Only during Mardi Gras will you see a 12 year old smoking weed and a 10 year old drinking beer. BUt only in New Orleans are people actually use to it.

This is a way to degrade a girl, by cumming all over her face and then throwing glitter so it sticks to her face. This way she looks like the girls in the mardi gras day parade in new orleans.
That sorrostitute got mardi grased last night, she didn't know what to do when I hit her with that blue and gold glitter. There she was just shining like gimmering star.
