New Orleans is finally starting to shake off the effects of Hurricane Katrina. So while you make your plans for the biggest, best Mardi Gras in history next February, take a look back at the festivities from the Eighties and Nineties through the lens of boyTV, a renegade Web-only archive now up at TonyHayden.com, that “weekly ME-ality series” blog we adore (you know, the one with the hot stud at the helm.) Tony’s friend, the delicious host Thomas Hauser, took boyTV to Mardi Gras to capture the gay and hetero abandon that revelers used to crank to legendary heights.

Over the course of the first ten-chapter flick, you’ll watch the requisite Atlanta boys in their underwear, drag queens in evening wear, and everyone else a little worse for wear after days of nonstop partying. The beads only grow in numbers as the outrageous outfits get more complex: Michael the Archangel is our hunky favorite, but you have to be amazed by the bitch who built an entire Creole townhouse on her head, complete with Barbies showing their tits.

There’s lots of grainy, lowbrow footage with aerobicized asses, wieners of epic proportions and of course, the oddly charming David Spade-like host. And at the end, maybe you too will have a tear in your eye for what’s happened since to the City that Care Forgot. Watch it all, then click over to MardiGras.com and make sure you sign up for your patriotic duty to life, liberty and the pursuit of beads.
