New Orleans Ladies Arm Wrestling Flexes Up For Its Final Brawl

NO LAW
Scene from a past NO LAW brawl.

Picture this: there are teams of dancers, music pounding from the speakers, and on stage are two women about to arm wrestle it out. That is just part of the scene at NO LAW, or, New Orleans Ladies Arm Wrestling, which will be having its final brawl on Saturday at One Eyed Jacks. NolaVie’s Kelley Crawford invites organizers Rosamund Looney and Katie Hunter-Lowrey to WWNO for a preview of the event.
