PHOTOS: It Was All Skin And Sin At Southern Decadence In New Orleans

Thousands and thousands (and thousands) of people turned out for Southern Decadence in New Orleans over the holiday weekend. The streets in the French Quarter were awash with shirtless guys, drag queens, speedo-clad go-go boys, a few hot girls, revelers, rabble rousers, and onlookers.

If you haven’t experienced the insanity and jubilance that is Southern Decadence, then you are truly missing out. Luckily, it’ll all happen again next year. In the mean time, we’ve gathered some photos from this year’s celebration.

Scroll down for pictures from the festivities…
