Mardi Gras: Lady Godivas parade ‘in the nude’

Here’s a nice mental image for ya: An all-female New Orleans riding group that dons nude body-stockings and chucks bedazzled horse shoes into the crowd.

(By “chucking,” we hope they mean “gently distributing by hand.”)

The Godivas participated in this year’s Krewe of Muses and Krewe of Orpheus parades. Horse Nation was unable to reach any representatives of the group today, presumably because they were partying it up on Bourbon Street (hey, if we lived there, we would be too). But if you want to get a look at their, uh, “costumes” yourself, visit their Facebook page (Lady Godivas Riding Group) or check out the blurb on them here.
