For those who are interested in
Virgina Caribfest which takes place July 14th to July 15th , costumes are now up on the
official website for viewing. One section from the troupe "Fantasy of Culture" is already sold out!
While checking out the costumes I noticed this costume called "Lieutenant" from the troupe "Pure Passion":
Which, to me, looks very much like Island People's "Raiders of the Desert"
And the best part is the price, it costs
ONLY $100.00US which includes food and drinks on Caribfest, a goody bag and party discounts. That price is exactly what I personally thought Raiders of the Desert was worth seeing as it is an "outfit" and not a costume (Jean and Dinah also falls in that category as well if you think I am only bashing Island People!!). So for those who played in Raiders you can rewind and remix your costume for Caribfest, hey for the price it cost you might as well use it twice!
Check out the rest of the costumes

LOLOL...it's not like it...it IS it! Down to the pocket on the armband! The only thing missing is the petticoat...which ain't really much..
Oh gooossshhh boy I need some mas in meh life again! Why August taking so long to reach! =/
Sarce,
I like yuh fancy name for this section...LOL!
How's tings?
but dolli ent yuh know that was directly a quote from you :D
tings keeeeeeeeewl tomorrow is ah holiday here yay!!
Oh yes? Good...Cuz yuh know WE does call it like WE see it!..LMAO.
All kindah names fuh de nice people's sections dem. Yuh know how yuh said your mouth has no cover, LOL. Mine neither!
I kinda dig this mas idea b/c I like camo, but I still find it a bit hard to accept in the grand scheme of Carnival. So I dig it, but ONLY very slightly. I actually DETEST the camo bands and such on the Pkwy for NYC Labor Day. It always seems like something is missing...
Not everything has to be a bead and a feather, but these sections seem a tad rough. I don't know if it's the moggels or what. It's like more ghetto fab and less essence-of-festival oriented. I won't even comment on the girl in the middle's design. It's one thing to prep and model for a festival section. It is another to look like yuh channeling Opal Hotta Ball. IMHO, the third girl looks like a video extra. Yuh know the industry calls them video hoes, not H.O.s. However, the price is very manageable and the rewind, remix, recycle concept could be rather attractive for the 2K7 "Raider" IP'ers out there. Hmmmm. I wish them well, but mah lil' jury is out on this one.
So what plans yuh have fuh de holiday? Mek certain yuh have ah ball! ;)
Dolli please be so kind as to tell me what is Opal Hotta Ball? LOL .
Plans for the weekend include the beach and a Wedding Expo... I have 2 friends getting married this year.
Heehee Sarce,
Opal Hotta Ball is de gyal that does sing up in de "Hot Wuk" song. In the very beginning she says, "This is Opal Hotta Ball and rarararrrrrraaaaaaaa." Aiaiaiaiaiiiiiiiiiiii. Yuh know she's Jamaican, so it does sound like Opal Otta Ball..LOL. Ah love it. Dais who she be.
How did I just KNOW the beach was in ur plans? You and de Prince Namor going to tek ah dip in de salt yes! Allyuh have it too nice dong dey..Ah jealous! :P
There was just a big Caribbean bridal expo here. Ah not marrieding, but doh ask me how ah does know these tings yes! Allyuh have ah time and tek 'vantage of de lil' niceties and all de freebies. Mmmmhmm!
I am hoping to win a second honeymoon !! :D
Yuh know I had a dream Band Launching *TRIBE* was in July!??! And I done hear Turquoise or Red will be a nice colour for my 2k8 costume :D
Yes, WIN IT and post up de pics. LOL. Yuh could dress up de "sPrince" in he red devil horns and have yuh own
private beach inferno, I tell yuh what!
Oh gosssh, I hope yuh dream is true. I could just see yuh by de stage wid yuh camera and uploading ting fuh we again. ;P Is why those pple doh launch ALREADY? AH WAITING! For ALL the bands, OLE & NEW. I could well & mamaguy, so they'd better not start me tuh singing....
Those colors are sounding so nice that I cannot wait tuh feast meh lil' two eyeball dem. I wonder WHAT I'lll be in 2k8 if I'm going in the first place, LOL!
I see yuh playing Moesha Queen of Scots. :D
Oops! I gine and catch ah wuk now!
dolli! STOP IT! just stop cracking me up. my ribs hurt...i have to go lay down now. just stop, you sadist! ("Opal Otta Ball... rarararrrrrraaaaaaaa." Aiaiaiaiaiiiiiiiiiiii.rofl!)
I like the VA version better though. The jacket that came with the Island People version was too much cloth for me! LOL
HI Saucy
I see you will be checking out the Bridal Beauty & Beyond Expo over the weekend...be sure to stop by the Barbados booth; Intimate Hotels of Barbados (shameless plug..lol)will be there.
Unfortunately I couldn't make the trip but my Rep will be there.
