I am not seeing the orange costume with the large headpiece that I like on the website which leads me to believe it might be a special section, anyone with inside information please let me know. From the costumes that are on the site right now I really like Laughing Water. I think it fits the theme the best, the headpiece looks good as well as the rest of the costume has that Native American feel to it.
The other costume I like is Cherokee Trail, the headpiece is quite appealing though the gold and silver combination still has to grow on me.
I am also liking Comanche Warriors , it is third on my list behind the first two only because I do not like the "regular" headpiece, I think the War Bonnet for this costume is well done however,especially compared to other similar headpieces that seem to be lacking the fullnes of the feathers.
The weird thing, to me is the fact that some of the costumes, like Apache Fire and Indian Summer have really nice beads to the front of the belt with regular round beads to the back, why the use of two different beads, it ruins the look of the costume since it appears that they ran out of beads for the back.
Pawnee Star is just a bit too much for me, especially with the type of beads they used which looks like a lot of Las Vegas and nothing like Native American. Shaman Dream and Indian Summer look nothing like they have anything to do with the theme at all, they look like any costume in any band. The model for Gitchee Gu'mee is really selling that costume, she looks great in the colours and even makes the funny headpiece look alluring.
I cannot understand the concept of the headpiece for Praire Town and something went wrong with the "bustle" for Pow Wow, they used white feathers tipped with orange for the bustle when the costume is mainly orange and yellow. Soca Warriors and Soiux Ghost Dancers have failed to inspire a comment.
Rainbow Warriors has incited the same feelings in me that I had towards Island People's Rainbow costume this year, I do not like it at all, but I was momentarily stunned when the first photo that popped up was the MALE costume:
Generally I think the male costumes are pretty decent, though I am thinking most guys would prefer short pants. Laughing Waters male is my favourite and I also like the male Indian Summer costume.
Though I was expecting greater authenticity to the Indian theme, with more than just an Indian headpiece with the same bikini and beads combination, overall the costumes are not bad. At least it offers potential masqueraders still undecided about a band or costume more options and to give kudos to Legacy they seem to have their act together up till now which is more than I can say for some of the other bands out there.

Some humor for the evening...
Gabriel came to the Lord and said, "Ah have to talk to you, yes. It have some Trinis up here in Heaven who causing real problems. Dey swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn missing, BBQ sauce and curry all over dey robe; cow-heel , chicken foot and pigtail bone all over the streets of Gold. Some ah dem walkin around with one wing saying is ah style, dey late taking turn keeping de stairway to Heaven clean, it have ah setta watermelon seed all over the clouds and dem, dey only playing ah setta soca an dub, some ah dem protesting saying dat they entitled to public holidays and carnival, an some ah dem ent wearing dey halos, saying it doh fit with dey hairstyles." The Lord said, " I made them special, as I did you, my
angel. Heaven is home to all my children. If you really want to know about problems, let's call up the Devil".
The devil answered the phone "Hello? Yes, Lord ........wha de...... hole on a minute." The devil returned to the phone and said, “Yeah Lord, wha yuh want?" The Lord replied, "Tell me what kinds of problems you are having down there...†The devil said, “Ooohh... hole orn... hole orn" and put the Lord on hold. After 5 minutes he returned to the phone, and said "Eh heh... what it is yuh ask meh jus now?" The Lord said, "What kinds of problems are you having down there?" The devil said, "Buh eh eh....look, hole orn...." This time the devil was gone for 15 minutes. The devil returned and said, "Look I sorry eh, but I cyah talk to yuh right now nah. Dem Trinis and dem put out de fire again, and now dey installing air conditioning in meh place".
Sauce,
Yuh know what ah noticed? The "Comanche Warriors" orange and turq. section yuh have post up dey differs from the one from the launch photos yuh have. The launch orange and turquoise section has these orange, black, and creme Peaches and Herb beads hanging from it. Yuh know if dais another outside section ar wha? It nice.
Ah vex wid TRIBE b/c dey are no longer offering bustles wid dey pretty Indian mas. Not even ah propah piece fuh yuh footside or fuh yuh neck and wrists. That yellow and orange ole Poison section did have everyting boi...Nowadays de ting looking lil'jookie jookie for yuh money.
Well Alexia, thank yuh. That was a sweet one.
dolli I now take a look at the other blue and turquoise costume and it does not look like Comanche since Comanche was at the launch as well.It is another costume, same colours and it is nice.I also see some others from the launch that have yet to make it to the website, maybe those are all special sections.
As for the original Tribe costume that was really the whole kit and caboodle there and it was MUCH cheaper than the Indian Mas for 2007.Even Mojave had the feathered foot and handpieces like you pointed out and that costume was around 2500.00 I think.
Everyone steady laughing at de targets, but at least fuh next year Mike gi' yuh ah lil' sumphin! Less costume, mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.
well i think that the majority of the costumes are well put together.. an i an all still waitin for the section i will b playin wid (ronnie an caro's section, "chutney") to come on the website...
holla at ur gurl yanna boss
