The entire building, inside and out, is painted pristine white and apart from the framed costume sketches on the wall is rater minimalist in décor. All of the sections are priced and named, with the exception of the two all female costumes as reported before. Upon enquiring I was told these are priced at $4700.00 for Antim Yatra and $7200.00 for Swaagatam.
The latter costume is made entirely of silk, with a back pack and silk paneled skirt over a “can can” to get the full skirted effect. It is also very ornately decorated with “jewelry”.
Further enquiries into the section that allegedly sold out. Anna Dhan, revealed that it is not completely sold out as yet, but being the cheapest section it is almost sold out!
Two other sections which are not on the website these are:
The strange thing is that an employee at the mas camp assured me that all the sections were on the website with names and prices however I have been checking the website regularly and nothing has changed. If anyone is seeing something different, please let me know!
In the meantime here are the rest of sections with names and prices compliments "iggy" all the way in Norway! thanks a bunch!

Heya Saucydiva! I received an email from the mascamp with all the section pics and prices.
I too have been repeatedly checking the website for the registration since I live abroad, but so far no registration possibilities as yet.
The section "Anna Dhan" is sold out according to my mascamp contact.
By the way, "Basant" is the section I'm drooling over :-)
hey iggy,
I can't remember the names of all the sections, be a sweetie and forward me the email: trinicarnivaldiary@yahoo.com
thanks!
Morning Bloggers, morning Saucy.
Saucy can I tell you that BG was a fantastic fete. Mr Machel Montano HD gave an amazing performance and I can't wait for Monday & Tuesday to reach!!! Get ready to flllyyy I'm so high high high!!!!
The ting start!!!
PS Saucy now self you can't post yuh pic online, mascamps will have a "Be on the look out" poster with you on it for snapping all these pics on the down low. LOL
Like everyone went BG! Socaholic doh rub it een nah ;)
thanks for the email iggy and I must say Basant is one of the sections i liked from day 1, I also like the "new" section raajsi.. just beautiful!
You're welcome saucy :-)
..an ah doh want tuh hear nuttin bout no fete since ah not dere yet, ah go jess get vex an sour!!! :D
Saucy IS the NEW 007 in 2007 (Daniel Craig who?) ; )
Thanks for all your information you provide so meticulously and deligently. You have been more than a Carnival baby for me (I suspect a vast majority of your readers too) this season; you have been a Carnival ANGEL!!!!
Iggy thanks as well (ah go see yuh in de band).
Saucy, Raajsi is soooo beautiful for women. I can't wait to see our ("India...") sexy women in da section. Bikini mas doh have notten on we...lol
Well, yuh know by now, I have decided on Kaal (a bit "darker" statement, but it is part of the drama of our lives), and I will love portraying this mas, body designs and all. It go be Carnival joy for me...
My backup (2nd choice) section is Udaan.
Saucy, Morning Everyone.
Thanks, now i'll know exactly which one my aunty is playing in!
kaal and udan have a similarity however Kaal has more drama and I prefer the blue. Great choice!
I am quite jealous of all the decoration the costumes appear to have from the sketches. I can imagine all the jewelry that will adorn the women and you are right, bikini mas has nothing on India!
If I were not already a Firewoman I would be "Royalty" :D
SAUCY!!!!
Happy New Year Chick!! All of God's best blessings for an amazing 2007!!
Yes, I'm 8 days late, but I was on vacation and away from a pc (deliberately actually, I was determined to focus on enjoying where I was).
So yuh miss me or what??!! :)
Happy New Year bloggers, may God bless you all ABUNDANTLY in 2007!
I feeling out of the loop, but I'll do my best to catch up. Sauce judging by the pics in the papers BG was a bes' party.
Yuh going Bliss?? I heard some whispers that you were not going.
This is off topic I know....sorry.
And by the way Missie.....you looking ON eh!! Keep it up!!!
Saucy, how many times am I going to say thanks to you before carnival tues reach. My aunt in Atlanta called me just last night all stressed cause she hear the band launch and she not seeing prices or even names of sections on the website. I tell her I have a online friend who is Miss Carnival Investigator, lemme email the pic to her and see what she can find out...come on your blog to find your email and voila..all the answers to Auntie questions right there.
SAUCY FOR PRESIDENT!! or carnival queen or something lol
I am totally for the idea of Saucy for President!!!!
Good Morning All.
Saucy, you have just stopped World War III from occuring here in my home. A silent war was brewing based on the previous designs on the site. I had made up my mind about Dil Ka Leela. Now my husband, who usually does not give too much trouble, unless the costume is a total disaster, put his foot down and INSISTED that he was not wearing a dress. LOL. I tried to assuage his fears and assured him that it is just wide looking pants. He was not going for that ATALL! He stated, "I know a dress when I see a dress, and I am not wearing no dress"!! Hence, the battle of the section choice had begun.
Enter Saucy (Thanks to you too Iggy), Because when I log on and see Raajsi, I called up my husband at work and told him to take a peek. Peace talks began, and we began negotiations over the costume crisis. A peace treaty called the Raajsi Convention has been signed, and a war has been thwarted!!
Saucy... You're the best!!!!
P.S. - I will let you get thru your fireman mas and survive carnival, then we will all have to go back to the negotiation table and talk about Saucy for President... of her own mas band that is (hint hint).
TOG
Warrior you were missed! I was wondering where you were! Hope the little vacay was great and you are now fully rested up for Carnival.You heard right, I eh going to Bliss! I so wanted to see Machel perform but girl, I eh paying $400.00 for Destra.. I heard her performances thus far have not been up to par.
natasha doh forget Iggy!! Iggy is the one with the magic email and he so kindly sent it to me to share the pics with you all.
TOG I LOVE that section! LOVE LOVE !! And I am very happy you and the hubby have not come to wars over the "dress".
SAUCY SAUCY SAUCY!
thanks for all the info on boyie it looks like it gonna be a great band the story line is beautiful and i cant wait to see the whole show on the road.
Saucy got my vote for President!
Keep up the good work saucy.
one question am i the only person seeing redicalous prices????
The prices have def. gone up over last year's presentation for sure.
Now I am not making any excuses but I was told that the 7K price on Swaagatam was due to the fact that the fabric being used is silk, and the decorations being used are jewelry.
From the drawings it is difficult to tell what the actual jewelry or decorations will be and maybe a protoype would better serve to end all speculation. However I can only harbour a guess that this in additon to the type of fabrics being used can account for the increase in prices.
Of course you also have to factor in inflation to the prices!
as I feared my comment didn't go through.
The point was that these costumes are pretty amazing and I think there is a definate band of the year contender with Mcfarlane.
It's in, I am registered to play in the "Kaal" section! (local assistance from my cousin, nice).
congrats dougla! You are not the only one using the "local" assitance to register!
