A reveler of the Estacao Primeira de Mangueira samba school performs during the second night of Carnival parades at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro on February 21, 2012. Rio's two nights of famously extravagant Carnival parades began late on February 18 in a burst of fireworks and to the cheers of festival goers who have been partying on the streets for days. The processions, featuring near-naked dancing queens, spectacularly imaginative floats and thousands of extras, were being held before a stadium crowd of 70,000 and an international broadcast audience.
