COMEDIAN Chelsea Handler is on a moral crusade of sorts and Mardi Gras is the latest scene of her flashy feminism.

CHELSEA Handler is proudly earning her Mardi Gras beads.

The 39-year-old comedian posted a topless photo to Twitter for Fat Tuesday, following her feud with Instagram over the social networking site’s topless photo policy.

With her face covered by a festive Mardi Gras mask, Handler shows off her assets in an open white shirt and a raised black undershirt. She is also wearing several Mardi Gras beaded necklaces, famed for being a reward for flashing someone on the boozy holiday.

The comedian posted this picture to Twitter during her celebrations at the festival.

The photo, posted Monday night, is captioned “Merry Christmas.”

Last Thursday, the Uganda Be Kidding Me comedian posted a topless photo of herself on a balcony, thanking Twitter for allowing her to continue to post pictures of herself topless. The appreciation comes after a lengthy battle with Instagram, which started in late October after the site removed a photo of Handler sitting topless on a horse, alongside a picture of Vladimir Putin riding a horse, saying Handler’s photo violated its Community Guidelines.

Comedian Chelsea Handler, "A Muslim allowed a topless Jew to sit on his camel. And we say we can't live side by side? I say we try and we can and we will. And, You don't even have to be topless. L'chaim" Picture: Twitter

“Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better,” Handler captioned the horse-riding picture.

After Instagram flagged her post, she rebelled with a bunch of topless photos. Two were taken atop a snowy mountain in December.
