July! July!

This month we’ll have extra matriarchal mayhem to fulfill all your raucous needs with mini and full sized brawls.

Join us for a special appearance Sunday, July 10th at the Howling Wolf for Beasts & Brass: A Benefit for Chef Nathanial Zimet.


Nathanial is the chef and co-owner of Boucherie and The Cue Crawl, known as the Purple Truck. Nathanial was the victim of an armed robbery attack in front of his home and although expected to make a full recovery, he still faces a hard road ahead. The Beasts & Brass Benefit seeks to bring the community together in an effort to defray medical bills.

NO LAW will be doing what we do alongside burlesque, music and much more from 8-9pm on Diamond St. outside the Howling Wolf. Learn more and buy tickets here.

It’s never too much ladies arm wrestling. No withdrawal fears here, mere days later is the Steamy Summer Brawl. This tournament benefits BreakOUT, an amazing new organization that fights the criminalization of LGBTQ youth and instead builds their power. They seek to affect concrete policy change and through this brawl YOU can help.

Plus, we’ve joined forces with the Big Easy Rollergirls for over the top brutal babe action on our turf. How will these derby dames fare off skates competing wrist to wrist? AC SlayedHer, Jam Bayou, Brutualicious and other skating terrors will be using their upper body strength at The Rusty Nail, Saturday July 16th, 8 pm. Don’t miss a celebrity judge appearance by Katey Red, drink specials (I really can’t say enough good things about that frozen disco lemonade) and a DJ Justin afterpartydanceparty spectacular!

Livin in the 21st Century

Big thanks to DJ Justin, our photographer Katrina Arnold and The Rusty Nail! Also to Trixie Minx and Oops the Clown for their opening performance, PLUS all the wrestlers who put on an amazing show! We raised $1000 for Women with a Vision and folks got to hear about the amazing work they do to challenge the totally wack “Crimes Against Nature” law. If you want to learn more/get involved/know what’s up, check out the WWAV website.

The smack talk and theme songs were at their most epic this time around. Doris Doomsday returned to try and teach new contender Ice Cold some manners, but Ice bested her and went on to the final round. It was Sister Mary Slammer though with all the power of the lord behind her who became our new champion. She even beat a fellow woman of the cloth to to smite the competition in the end. Amen. We like to give our crowd what they want so a special brawl between Cherry Popeye and celebrity judge, Yoko Ono was bankrolled pitting celebrity v. cartoon character. Yoko bested the peppy sailor but not before they gave us a dance off fit for the rapture. Watch it all here!

Save the date for your next chance to be this close to glory, Steamy Summer Brawl will be July 16th back at the Nail. We’ll have hot new merch for sale, including  NO LAW bandannas to wipe the sweat from your tan brow or use as a coozy on your frozen disco lemonade.

Brawl Ball

DJ Justin afterparty on the very ground we brawled upon!

Delicious Food and Drink Specials:

$1.5 PBR

*Don’t forget, DO NOT park your vehicle across the street from the Rusty Nail. Your evening will be ruined by trying to bail your car out of car jail. Enter and exit the parking lot via Calliope. If there was ever a night to bicycle someplace, this would be it.

How many days till next Mardi Gras?

Well done Swamp Thing, winner of the last brawl! The nutria bikini gave her the fashion sense and freedom of movement she needed to finish off The Remover in a heated final match. Truly, everyone looked SO GOOD. From Weenis’s classic beauty to Gurl-Illa Warfare’s ill-fated cage, the competition and costumes were top notch. Crowd favorite Slamrock O’Hagan’s entourage looked so tough I was a little frightened. It may have been all those clover neck tattoos.

Thanks to Maison, all the wrestlers and entourage who put on a great show and YOU! Our adoring fans who helped fund baby showers for the Birthing Project. If you missed the show or just love donating, you can send checks to:

The Birthing Project

Look for us at the next Friday Night Fights on April 1st and the Big Easy Rollergirls home opener April 16th. Spring brawl coming soon. Apply within to wrestle, donate prizes, celebrity judge or to use any other secret talent you may possess.

Carnival Season Brawl Time

We’re putting ourselves in the middle of the action. Post Krewe de Vieux so you’re in the spirit, Pre Lundi Gras so you’re not all worn out, NO LAW brings you our first brawl of 2011! We’ll be back at Maison on Frenchman St FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25TH, 8 pm. DJ Justin will be merrily breaking it down and the bar will provide drink specials. This event’s funds will go to the New Orleans Birthing Project which exists to reduce the high infant mortality rate among minorities. Specifically:

“The proceeds from this brawl will be used to fund baby showers for the mothers in our program. Our baby showers are not just a party. They are an event in which ten mothers, their babies, their SisterFriends and the community join together to celebrate and to begin the process of setting goals. Each mother is encouraged to share the dreams and goals that she has for her baby and to recognize that her baby’s ability to achieve those goals begins with her determination to achieve goals of her own. She is given guidance, inspiration and love in an effort to assure her that she and her baby are important to the community and that they have our support.”

So come on out, bring your mothers, grandmothers, coworkers, lovers, brothers, sisters and frenemies. We have another eight fresh meat wrestlers to flex for you. Can Bootylicious hold up against PocahontASS? Does Gurl- Illa Warfare have a secret weapon in her bag of zoological tricks?! All this and more will be decided the only way it matters – one cheek on the chair, elbow in the square. Wrists up!

Past, Present, Future

Happy 2011, loyal followers! We at NO LAW survived without any major fireworks injuries and are busy planning for the new year. Thanks to everyone who made it out to our last brawl of two thousand and ten. Cassie Fantastico reigned as the ultimate brutal babe at Maison, helping us raise $900 for Louisiana Artworks/Idea Village Entrepreneurial Innovation Center.  This money funds a screen printing workshop that would not have been possible without this brawl, so pat yourself on the philanthropic back you betters and bribers.

That event also marked the last for our honored and cherished member, Kate McNeely, who created this very blog and has gone on to big things. We miss her and her savvy very much!

Currently, NO LAW is on the road, back to the beginning, where it all began. Erin, Nina and I (KDHL) have road tripped it to Charlottesville, VA for the summit of all the ladies’ arm wrestling groups in the country. The very first organization of  this kind, C.L.A.W, started here and we have a lot to learn from these folks. We’re really excited to link up with other awesome women and associates who are the movers and shakers and spectacle makers in their own states. More to come on what develops in these meetings. Here’s some of the sister cities’ websites and all they have to offer:

CLAW- Charlottesville, VA

DCLAW- Washington, DC

CCLAW- Chicago, IL

Taos BRAWL- Taos, NM

Hudson Valley BRAWLl- NY

LUEWWD- Durham, NC

Stay tuned for info on our next brawl, coming soon, PRE Mardi Gras!
