In yesterday's newspaper I read that Legacy's theme for 2008 is Africa, hopefully the presentation would be as spectacular as the theme lends itself to so much potential. As for Island People I heard that they gave their masquerader's a claw which hints at the theme for 2008 but I not too sure how valid this information is I heard the theme is Fire, if anyone knows for sure what Island People has in store for the next year please let me know.
I know I have to wait for the next five months for TRIBE's presentation without even a hint at what the theme will be. Now, some bands give a theme and the costumes, albeit beautiful, do not represent the theme at all; major perpetrators in this is Harts and in my opinion Pulse 8 and Dream Team's costumes for 2007 did not reflect their theme either. Trini Revellers and Mc Farlane are fastidious in portraying the theme, and to their credit Island People and TRIBE have tried to at least capture the essence of their theme in their portrayals. I am not going to debate how well the themes were interpreted, the yellow Jab Molassie was a hotly debated topic on some forums last year! But some costumes did a very good job in representation; Angel Fish, Fan Coral and Sunken Treasure were some of my favourites in 2006, I thought the Fan Coral headpiece looked like real coral and for Island People Song Birds, Trees and Pride reflected what they were supposed to in my opinion.
Now I am left to speculate on what could possibly be TRIBE's theme for 2008; I am hoping it is something magical of course, with really beautiful costumes. Which lead me to think of what my "dream" costume would be and I would have to say for that the theme might as well be "Rio" because I always wanted to play in some over the top extravagant Samba Girl costume! So let me hear what great ideas you guys have for a theme for 2008... I am thinking I will compile them all and email TRIBE just in case they might be a little lost at what direction to take from the Tribal Fantasy to What Lies Beneath to Ole Time something to something extra fabulous for 2008!

Yep!!!! thats why i suggested World of Warcraft. My husband and I play it he more than me and it has a wide array of magic people and beasts- - -hehehe
I like this idea, No Loner Anon. I'd want to be Wonder Woman with Swarovski jewelry and a rhinestone truth rope. I'd b*tch to high heaven if they made me pay extra for meh crystal invisible jet though...LOL.
Or even a futuristic Red Riding Hood with a rhinestone garter, ah crystal basket, and a bazooka. Shaka could be de Wolf...Pillage meh lil' red village, cuz' Grandma's OD'd on Xanax okayyyyy?
Sawed off shot gun hand on the....lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa.
LOL @ prettidolli and Shaka as de wolf
As cute as it sounds i think Tribe would get more cuss than they did this year if they come with a band name superheroes
Yuh know Jamette!! That is not fun at all..LOL.
Yes, they WOULD get RHEL CUSS..LOL. So what about "Journey to De Center of De Earth"? It's still in keeping wid meh village pillage motif. Ah know, ah desperate...Ah trying every lil' ting. :S
"Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow." Help meh Jesus!
TRIBE, is WHAT yuh have coming fuh allahwe?
WOW = BADNESS!!!! woy woy. Like someone is a gamer up in here!!!!!
I was purposely in fan coral that year BECAUSE I loved that head piece so much, it sits proudly on my computer at home. heh
I still say RIO... man I can imagine the costumes!!
RIO YES! Save meh a trip..Two in one... Ah'd be ever so thankful cuz' I still praying to titivay mehself (no pun intended) in ah cage bra!
cage bra? Girl ask Sauce, we have a pic of a cage bra gone wrong...titivaying all over de place (pun intended). I not able to jump with no cage bra nah.
And prettidolli i see you traipsing through the band both days eh...i say 'buhwhodeass is this?' Most girls was chipping real slow with their boots you were like 'eh heh, take dat Mr road'. Everytime you pass you had your own little cat walk. And doh worry bout how i know is you, I read de blog plenty plenty.
RIO would be nice for TRIBE. Cage bra would be heavily featured (and I saw quite a number this year, couldn't identify the bands), but there is more to RIO than that, so it could be a facinating intrepretation, indeed.
Off topic: Early RUMORS for MacFarlane is the Splendors of the Earth (an ecological story), and my "boy" Minshall with Canboulay (this was rumored to be Minshall's band this year, but a lot of the Callaloo Company mas "workers" were committed to MacFarlane's "India"; both bands couldn't be produced on MacFarlane's short notice, and Minshall's even SHORTER notice).
"i say 'buhwhodeass is this?"
But eh eh Miss Jamette! Okay..LOL!
Both u and Sauce NOT ez!
Jumpandjumpandpranceandprancewineandwinechookanddanceanddanceeeeeeeeeeee
Oh dougs so Minsh and Mc Farlane for 2008!! Wow. I know I heard that Minsh was coming back this year then there was nothing..good to know I was not going insane ;)
What a spectacle 2008 is going to be :D
I not feeling the Cage Bra for Rio, though Dolli can get one specially created for her.. but I am think plumes upon plumes .... see through bejeweled bodysuits to replicate a nude bejeweled body look...beads upon beads and skimpy, skimpy,skimpy :D I mean they HAVE to stick to the theme ;)
'Buhwhodeass is this' in awe eh...lol because you look like you just wasn't business with anybody.
Girl, I NEVER do.....I SWEAR I does be in meh own lil' worl' sometimes. :)
