Ronnie and Caro Mas Band Trinidad Carnival 2010 Review (2)
This year we decided to try a new band after playing with Legacy in 2009 and not too happy with the overall experience. Our group chose Ronnie and Caro. We chose Saucy in the market back to the front line bh [us real Backline BABES!]. Online registration is a breeze. We reported on the website...
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...
Pay Attention I Am Only Saying This Once!
Every year there are new band rumours circulating soon as Carnival is over. Every year there ARE new bands making a foray into the Carnival Scene. The year 2011 is no different apart from the fact that some old faces might be coming back, determined to give this million dollar business another run for...
Ronnie and Caro 2010 Review
After playing with D’krewe for the last 2 years, we “took the chance” and what a wonderful chance we did.
In R and C, we had all the best “Big Band” treatment…unlimited top shelf drinks…food galore…we were served all day Tuesday with Beef Pies, Pig In...
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....
Spice 2010 Review (10)
COLLECTION DAYMy friends and I decided to visit Hilton to see the costumes in person since Spice mas camp is closed. Lo and behold no costumes to see, only picking up and last minute masqueraders registering. Here is when the drama started. Since I have ordered my costume via the phone, Spice said I...
Spice 2010 Review (9)
Lawd Faddah, where to begin!!

International Carnival Dates 2011
It’s the first of March 2010 and it is hard to imagine that Trinidad Carnival was only 12 days ago! If you are still in your post Carnival depressive state and are not getting any relief from Palancil:
What you may need is another Carnival, or a few, to tide you over until 2011. So here is your...
Spice 2010 Review (8)
SPICE Review
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...
You Don’t Say!
Which dynamic design duo is allegedly taking a sabbatical from Trinidad Carnival for the next year?
If this turns out to be true I am VERY curious to see how certain bands will fare for the Trinidad Carnival 2011 band launch season, because their touch was seen in MANY bands, including TRIBE (headpieces,...
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...
Brian Mc Farlane’s Resurrection The Mas Review
Hey people, seeing as every other band has gotten a review, I decided to write one for Macfarlane as well…
After playing for the first time with him in 2009 in Africa, I set my sights on Resurrection and registered in Black Indian. I registered in person and this was a breeze at the mas camp. Macfarlane...

Costume Collection.Last year because of our late arrival we collect our costumes carnival Friday. Can you say total and utter chaos!
Good lord, it took us 3 hours to collect our costumes and this is only because we worked as a...
The No Bra Trend…….Hmmmmm
With so many bands offering select sections with the Rio Styled Wire Bra in lieu of a regular bra top for masqueraders, it was no surprise that many masqueraders whose sections did not offer this option went and got their own bras customized as the demand for this sexy style has reached phenomenal...
Island People 2010 Review (4)
Hi Saucy
I chose to play with Island People for the second time this year for two reasons: I loved their costumes because they were a departure from the standard feathers and beads designs that almost everybody’s doing, and secondly they were willing to kiss people’s ass after last year....
Jouvert 2010 Review Band; Mas Jumbies
This year as I did since they started, played J’ouvert with Brian Won Wong’s Mas Jumbies. I was delighted to see that my review which I thought was going to be the first one, was actually trumped by a newbie to the Mas Jumbies family – welcome newbie. My review will be brief because...
