I live in Louisiana. Mardi Gras is a catholic holiday, the day before Ash Wednesday and originally all the catholics couldn't eat red meat during Lent(the time b/w A.W. and Easter). They eat and party before Lent,which is Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday if you know french. I'm not positive about the red meat part as I'm not catholic. Now all the beads and parades are just part of the party. The flashing was not in the original tradition. The reason it is popular in New Orleans is a very catholic city.

I used ot live in Louisiana so I remember all the Mardi Gras spectaculars.Mardi Gras really means "Fat Tuesday" It's the day before Ash Wednesday.It's just a holiday to be happy and merry.It even has official colors...purple for justice...green for faith...and gold for power. To really celebrate it and get all hardcore.Go to New Orleans get completely hammered.Hang near Bourbon Street attend kick ass parades.And flash people on floats for a shitload of beads.But that's only if you want to go all out. :-P

In the United States, Mardi Gras is very popular in New Orleans, Louisiana. You celebrate it by dressing up and wearing masks and costumes. Girls usually flash themselves to guys in order to get beads. That;s basically what Mardi Gras is. Hope I helped :)
