This evening I made my way to Maraval to check out the launch of
Rugeri Promotions, an all-inclusive section with the 2006 winning band of the year, Trini Revellers. Rugeri's section is called "Paris is Burning" which fits in with the theme of the band, French Revolution. In 2006 Rugeri was behind the production of the popular section "Anthony and Cleopatra".
The atmosphere of the launch felt like we had arrived at a family gathering, we were told to have a drink and then await the presentation of the costumes. Compared to Tribe and Island People this was the total opposite in that it was very low key and a nice change of pace from the big productions. The launch was kept at the home of one of the members of Rugeri,no tickets were needed and no money was charged, drinks were on the house and we were constantly supplied with lots of goodies to eat.
No former Ms. Universe modeled the costumes, this was truly a family affair with the daughter and son of committee members strutting their stuff, the young man in the photos is only 16! All in all it was a nice way to spend the evening and my hubby and I even saw several people we knew there. Thanks to Michele for the tip about the launch, I had fun!

Just goes to show, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to play mas' (in the band of the year, no less), complete with lovely costumes, and 'all inclusive' benefits.
At least their prices are affordable.
thanks for the pics saucy....i love the female version.
i'm a sucker for red costumes....and i love the hat.
I'm also a sucker for red costumes. This one is really cute and if I was playing in Revellers, this would be a big consideration. (being that the rest of the band hasen't launched yet)
