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 !!

Hottie Hottie said...

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!

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.

Anonymous said...

The jumbie mask looks like it's made of the the same material as the costume..these two are masks are not the same!

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.
