I've just read one of the questions someone asked on this website abt beads given out during mardi gras or smth like that . I wear beads around my neck all the time , and i want to make sure no one mistakes me for someone who flashes .I want to know : what do these beads look like ?
Each strand is VERY long, often needing to be looped two or three times around the neck. They come in a variety of colours, though they usually have a metallic shine to them. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

Often, they have really naughty decorations on them as well. And secondly, no one brags about earning beads by wearing them all the time. The beads usually become a conversation piece after the fun is over.
