I have seen the new Frontlines!

Yes!!!! Let me tell you, it will be a hard decision come Saturday when it comes to registering for a section, I think my deciding factor will be price because I am itching to play a frontline!

So, thanks to a tip from amprincess I made my way to TRIBE's mas camp this morning to "macco" the new frontlines (I heard the headpieces were there). When I arrived I was greeted by Solange, who I swear knows every single masquerader who plays with TRIBE so she now knows who I am and there goes my anonyminity, anyways, she was quite helpful and even modeled the headpieces for me so I could take a few pics . So, I will be posting a few photos but none with Solange since I am positive she does not want her face plastered all over the net. If you really want to see the rest of the pics you will have to email me and ask nicely, but I digress. Solange told me they will be doing a photoshoot and the photos of the new costumes, and Jab Molassie frontline, will be posted to the website this week, but from what I saw I was very impressed!

Dragon's base costume will be the same, same bra and same belt but the headpiece is fantastic. It reminds me of the chinese dragon costumes with a large gold dragon head edged with rhinestones, rhinestones for eyes and a huge mane of orange and purple coque feathers, pheasant feathers in a sunburst pattern reaching towards the sky and orange and purple fabric trailing down your back. There is also a backpiece which attaches to the waist/belt made out of purple and orange fabric, for those who are worried about Dragon's skmpiness that should cover your ass.

Jab Jab was the costume both my friends who went with me prefered over dragon, from what I saw both the bra and belt is different from the backline though I did not get to inspect them closely. The headpiece is a much, much larger version to the backline's headpiece and it is shaped differently, more fan shaped and is decorated with big rhinestones. The predominant colour for the costume looks like pink, though there is some orange and yellow in the headpiece as well. What Solange likes and was excited to show me, were the feathered coiled wrist pieces, again with rhinestones decorating it, that wraps around your wrist and comes up your forearm. To complete the costume is a much larger version of the collar on the backline.

Now that I have gotten a sneak peak I am even more confused and excited, I want to see the whole package together, not just pieces like what I saw, so I guess I will be clicking on the website for any new pics all week. Did I mention that I am now even more confused? And to tease me even more, the backpack for Fireman was at the macamp and it is looking good a well!

Ok, so here are FEW pics click on them to make them bigger.
