beads

Girls flash to see how many beads they can get, its a normal thing on spring break!! Thousands of different kinds of beads! I think I have some pretty nice ones though, they are normal beads, but at the end is a huge pair of hooters!! (@Y@) cant wait!!! So tracey, you want some of my beads?? You will have to work for them! Enjoy

I heard that women are more excited by the color of the beads, and not the size of the beads.

Being from New Orleans

I really have to say its pretty cheesy that some spring break spots are adopting the whole bead thing. Some places need to come up with their own traditions and not take them from others. Let Mardi Gras be mardi gras and spring break be spring break. If you want to experience what the beads are about then go to Louisiana for mardi gras. The reason people have them during SB is solely to get a girl to flash.

Nothing wrong

Its just a mardi gras thing that most people dont understand and only see on TV so they stereotype that. They think thats what mardi gras is all about, showing ****. Mardi Gras is about everyone at all stages and classes of life having a good time together and just enjoying life. Its a tradition rich event which is getting a bad name by what is perceived to happen. And the bead thing on SB helps spread the misconceptions. Its bad enough that in July they still have drunk tourists giving away beads on bourbon. My whole point is you just dont steal something that is laden with tradition, take it out of its element and make a mockery of it.

ok.......

Ok...........so you are really getting me confused!! You DO or DO NOT like to see girls flashing on spring break?? Just wondering! Cause I could give two Shhits about the madi gras tradition. But then again, I kind of see your point to the whole thing! Regardless, let loose, throw out some beeds, see some naked girls, have some pre marital sex, drink your *** off and have one hell of a time!! See you all down there, I leave in 34 days!! Enjoy

I dont object

Dont mind girls flashing of course I just find that the reason it is done is because it was taken from mardi gras, cheesy.

nope

In some places you can get a dozen beads for 99 cents down there!! Walmart has cheap beads, and in some places they give them away, like on the beach!! So, to answer your question, nope, pretty cheap down there!! Enjoy

Unhappy

I bought a bunch online (bulk) and they were cheap. I still have a ton left (preakness, mardi gras nights up here) as I sadly am not going to make it to PCB this year.
