From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Chilly temperatures and cloudy skies had little impact on Mardi Gras madness as hundreds of thousands of revelers threw themselves into raucous nonstop parties and parades. A 26-year-old Chicago tourist, who declined to give her name, wore a skimpy Las Vegas showgirl costume on top of a sweat suit and thermal underwear as she stood in the French Quarter. Mardi Gras runs from Jan. 6, Twelfth Night, to today, Fat Tuesday.
