Who doesn't love big, hairy men in beads?! I had a huge BLAST celebrating Mardi Gras at a party called "Bear Naughty Gras!" at RockBar in the West Village of New York City. Party promoter and "Mr. Grizzly" George Hains, who is known for his exciting "Bear Events" in town threw this hot gala with DJ Dan Darlington and go-go cubs Jed Ryan (Mr. Rawhide) and John. All the wonderful furry, friendly and frisky guys definitely earned their beads in an evening of delightful sin and debauchery that goes with the holiday! New Orleans celebrants can't hold a candle to the Bears - and Cubs and Otters - of New York City!
