American Plume and Fancy Feather Co. and thought to myself, hey don't these look familiar.........

NEO ONE.
Hottie I did have a good evening, and Neo this year not so bad, I mean last year I pratically found the entire costume online! At least this year they are more "inspired".
Wink wink! Yeah. That's it
Saucy girl doh worry dat aint nuttin. i once saw a whole magazine from New Orleans where they manufacture costumes and low and behold i saw the exact costumes in some very popluar bands that year..and when ah say exact and mean EXACT!!! My ole man tell me some of these bands go to these factories and just order de damn costumes...what happen to creativity? and dey want to charge peeps ah pound and crown for it...Have a good day
What was the site again saucy that you said Harts POSSIBLY get their costumes from?
HEY look Neo find his way to de "plain talk-bad manners" neck of the carnival woods. :-D
Yeah Saucy I'm surprised I haven't found a whole costume. Unless you go into Radical Designs and find Raiders of the Lost Desert LOL LOL
Hottie we all know about Necklmans LOL but some of their costumes don't look so Neckleman-ish for some reason.
I think alot of bands, well those who in the know, afraid of using Necklemanns seeing as we labaste them about using their costumes over on IMIX. To anon the site is http://www.neckelmanns.com/
I think Neo was always peeping he just playing brave and make a comment today, welcome Neo :D !!
Well I eh know who de arse is Neo but I go say welcome too. Welcome Too!
Ok! Saucy I know bout necklemans but now where yuh find these identical pieces that we are spending all this money on. Could you put them on blast and give me the website cause really where is the inspiration of designing costumes gone. Apparently oversears!
Saucy never mind I saw the link!
Smile
If you do a general search for key words like 'costume', 'masks' and 'carnival' ou will eventually find all of them yes girl!
Did you people look closely at the Jumbie Headpiece/mask vs this one Saucy found? The feathers and style are very different.
The jumbie mask looks like it's made of the the same material as the costume..these two are masks are not the same!
anon that's why I said "inspiration" ;)
oooooolaaaard ooooh!!
ay take care yuh get ban girl, lol
yuh might have to ban yuh self for dem things dey!
Hey, it's Mr.Fresh himself! Hi NEO! *MWAH!*
But I don't think Saucy does ban...She just tells it like it is..Juss so!
I am finding the feathers in the pic are quite different from Aming's "Jumbie" ting. Her ting is much, much nicer, de feathers dem have a sheen and ent looking cheapy cheapy so. Go Crystal!!!
Hey Saucy, what is the correct date for "eyes wide shut". Is it Oct 28th or Nov 4th. Some friends and I usually come to Trinidad just for that party.
It's October 28th!
