MIA-yo!

Miami Carnival plane ticket is officially booked! next on the agenda is to figure out parties. So far I'm hearing Tribe, Shine, DV8 and Vale as the places to be so fingers crossed we really do make it to all these parties. Also most xcited about possibly seeing TRIBE and BLISS costumes in person at IGNITE, you guys must excuse me as its my first 'real' band launching. I hope everything works out and that the boss doesnt fret when i duck work lol

Rumors!

A little Bajan birdie whispered to me that next year may see some changes in CropOver, mainly Tuesday becoming a holiday as well making Kadooment a 2 day shindig :D !!!! Still waiting confirmation from an official source but yo..Bim if this is true alyuh big in d dance!!! can't wait for next year!

My Band has launched!!



When I say 'my' band I mean my band of choice for Miami Carnival, One Island Crew. After the grrreat time i had with them last yr fuh sure i up in that this rounds. They have FINALLY (i've been Really hype about this lol) launched their website complete with prices and options, frontline AND backline for some costumes included. One thing tho, apparently body paint or rather good body paint is more expensive than i thought cuz they kinda bus price this year. My personal fave 'pretty mas' costumes are all over $160. US while my bodypaint outfit of choice is about $80. Now mind you some of those more expensive costumes only include non-alcoholic drinks #pause *blank stare* I will def NOT be in ANY of those sections lol. makes zero sense in my world. One good thing that I was not aware of, some sections allow you to pay an approx $50. downpayment on your costume so if things tight now you have the option of doing that and paying off your costume later on in the month. Any thoughts on my picks? I know the feathered one is a lil out there but for some strange reason its my fave lol





red sarong= $120 US, reg costume= $80US
