PHOTOS: The streets of New Orleans were completely overrun with half naked men in red

It wasn’t just the weather that was wet, hot, and steamy last weekend in New Orleans. Thousands of musclebound men and beautiful women–gay, straight, bi, and everything in between–slipped into their slinkiest, skimpiest, sexiest red dresses for the annual Red Dress Run through the French Quarter. The run benefits over 100 local charities and ends with one giant dance party on Bourbon Street.

Scroll down for photos from 2018’s red hot Red Dress Run…

In a city that loves to costume you’ll frequently see people donning their best in a big way. This weekend brings multiple opportunities for dressing up in theme, with #RedDressRun and #DirtyLinenNight. Are you going? | ?: @mrjohnlavin
