Though the space is small and they are still setting up camp, two costumes are up on display. In person the costumes look well decorated and just as appealing as the photographs. I have to add that the yellow costume will not be an option for Carnival 2007, for reasons not given they have decided not to produce that costume anymore.
Available are the two red costumes as well as the blue.
The prices for the following costumes are $1995.00 backline, $2995.00 Frontline
The blue costs $2200.00 backline and $2700.00 frontline:
Of the three options I like this version of the red. Now the other costume is lovely, with a nice headpiece and huge back pack for the frontline, but somehow this one fits the theme “Royalty” better. Also, I like the design of the bra, all the accessories and that the belt piece is more than just a waist band with beads.
Attached to the bra is a sheer, beaded fabric that drapes on the shoulder and covers the bra. If you look carefully in the photo you can see it. Additionally you can be as covered or as skimpy as you like. The cape is optional, as well as you have an option for long or short fabric panels attached to the belt OR none at all like in the photo. The headpieces differ slightly, with a larger one for the frontline which also comes with a shoulder back pack that looks like the one used for both Tribe’s Tassel Weeds and Rico Soldato’s section in Poison.
Down payment is $500.00 (when last did you hear that figure!) for backline and $1000.00 for frontline costumes. The website should be up by next week where you will be able to view all the costumes. The url is www.dkrewecarnival.com
In my humble opinion I think this section will do very well, while I was at the mas camp several other potential masqueraders came to view the costumes and their responses were positive. It is quite refreshing to see alternatives to the more popular bands with reasonably priced, attractive costumes and offering all-inclusive for those who still want that option. See, there are MORE choices than just the two big bands TRIBE and Island People.

Sauce, you remember the website address for my post? Morning btw
I think it was "sisters behaving badly" or something like that..I am trying to find it too.
Did they give an idea how much the mens costumes would be?
I believe the male costumes are either $1750.00 or $1795.00 TT
Hi Saucy, can you please update my link on your page to
http://trinidadcarnival2007.blogspot.com/
Thanks so much :)
I hear all trini revelers offer for there all inculsive alco is rum and beer... Nope i hadda get baileys and johnny on the road. I think they probably realise jus how much that yellow custume looks like rico soldato and decided to cancel it.
saucy, do you have the phone number for IP's mascamp?
This might be an option for since Im not too sure about IP and My costume is Tribe is gone. My only concern is the rep that revellers has. Im 21 and I like to play mehself on the road I dont want to be in no damn presentation or one setta section order. Plus everyone tells me their crowd is on the older side(?).
It's too bad they could not do the yellow one as well. That one was really lovely - and I say that as someone who doesn't particularly like yellow.
IP's mas camp 625-1fun
Kevian this section says all-inclusive includes premium drinks, I remember asking them how the budget will affect them since Jonhhy and Vodka are now increased.
fgi I am with you... I'm young and I don't want to be playing mas with the old heads, also, they are saying that they just don't want it to be bikini's.. and what is the pointof carnival otherwise. I thought the whole point of dressing up, is to really dress down.. am I wrong.
anon - i see what you mean - IP and TRIBE have the "new kids on the block" reputation down to the tee....but eh...dont knock it till u tried it...Trini revellers is a gr8 band with a good reputation...their costumes are consistently good; the vibes and excitement is just as any odder band...saucy ent dey always competing fuh "band of the year" - and actually stand a chance of winning...eh? And whilst some of us dont really care for that type of thing...is a good feeling nah?
I must confess I ent played wid dem - my "older" relatives have...lol..but hey dey may be old but dey sure know how to party..lol...

hi i am playing with trini revellers in d krewe ruby section, i am 24 years,i consider myself young and whether its for old or young i am comming out to have a good time,the reason why ppl say its for old ppl its because they cater for young and old, fat or skinny, not like island ppl or tribe who only want young, slim girls in there band, what is trini carnival comming to Don't you think the older heads wants to have fun too, they want to enjoy themselves like anybody else age is just a number
