D Krewe 2010 Review
Disclaimer: It has been rumoured that I work with Dkrewe,and that is simply why I usually why I don’t have anything bad to say about them. Dkrewe is a band that over the years I have found a costume that screams my name. I continue to support Dkrewe for the mere fact that I have FUN on...
Individual Or Bust
I remember joking after band launch last year that Individual was the new Frontline for Carnival 2010 as it seems everyone wanted to go one step above the section segregation and actually lead the section this year. With the most Individuals I have ever seen on the road this year in TRIBE, the standard...

The “Mysterious” Email…
So, I just got this in my inbox:
Good Day
I wish to remain a mystery to you for the time so i’m sending this with out much information but what I can say is that there is a great possibility that these seven headpieces minus or plus a few extras may be seen as backline headpiece options in 2011....

Caribbean Carnival Taking Place World Wide
West Indian and Caribbean Carnivals have been popular amongst the respective islands for a long time. Today we have seen a surge in the participation of a more global audience.

After hearing some good reviews about SPICE band 2009, twelve of my friends and I decided to give them a try for Carnival 2010. Now I know many others have already given their reviews of the road, I can’t give my road review because by 1:00 pm Carnival Tuesday, I was so fed up of SPICE’s...

Saucy’s Carnival 2010 Costume Picks
I was holding back on giving my choices for top 5 costumes in the popular bands because I had not seen that many in person. After pouring through hundreds of photos from my friends (some of which I have “borrowed” for this post) I have made my choices. It is interesting to note that the SAME...
