Dig up those beads, boyz and girls, it’s Mardi Gras season! And you know what that means: a slew of drunken hotties, for one night only, will bare it all for seemingly worthless trinkets. (Start stocking up on beads now!)

Celebrate Fat Tuesday at the sixth annual Hillcrest Mardi Gras party taking place on University Avenue, near Urban Mo’s. Pepper MaShay will headline. For details, flip to page 14.

Remember to party safe, everyone!
