PHOTOS: Thousands of musclebound men put on skimpy red dresses and ran through New Orleans

It wasn’t just the weather that was steamy last weekend in New Orleans. Thousands of musclebound men and beautiful women–gay, straight, bi, and everything in between–slipped into their slinkiest, 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 the 2017 Red Dress Run…

We were turning on red all day #RedDressRun

#mondaymemories Back at it again in NOLA for the @american_heart Red Dress Run!! I myself had open heart surgery when I was 5 y/o and have congenial heart disease. Plus, for black women, heart disease is the one cause of death. Everyone should experience #reddressrun at least once! EPIC FUN!! (And yes, it is the same dress as last year)

#red | "is a very emotionally and instense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has a very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stop lights, and fire equipments are usually painted red…" #nola #reddressrun #details @capturedbyoochie
