Fat Tuesday, the traditional end of the Carnival season, allows even those who are shy be someone different for a day. And nowhere is that more evident than in the French Quarter, where both families and friends dress in everything and nothing.

Thanks to the Saints' 31-17 Super Bowl win over Indianapolis on Feb. 7, one of the big themes Tuesday was the Saints. And that included flying pigs and a frozen hell, an homage to Jim Henderson's radio call when Garrett Hartley made his game-winning kick to send the team to the Super Bow.
