2015 02 17 - A girl flashes while attempting to get special flashing beads while on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.  Throwing of trinkets started in the early 1870’s while on parade routes. This practice took on a new life when a few spring breakers took to Bourbon Street after parades. Since then it has grown into the spectacle many know, as a centre for partying and debauchery.
