2008 was the year of the boots, with many masqueraders returning to the footwear of choice that our parents wore years and years ago. The boots looked FABULOUS and really complemented the costume, from elaborately decorated to simple matching boots, I was pretty happy to see masqueraders putting forth the effort to accessorize their costume appropriately.
2009 we will be banishing the wife beater for Monday wear! That is for those who will not be wearing their costume or costume bra top at least. The goal is to retire the wife beater in all forms including airbrushed, sequined or in matching colour no matter how cute it is or how easy an option for Monday.
The time has come to glam up your Monday wear with creative and innovative ideas. It can be as simple as decorating a bra with gems, crystals or sequin braid paired with boy shorts , as easy as wearing a monokini or as elaborate as creating your own "costume" for Monday.
Personally I am tired of having all the glamour for only one day, I want to be fabulous on both days without having to wear my gorgeous costume on Monday as well. Boy shorts and wife beaters are simply not going to cut it especially since I also have my Monday boots begging for a costume in some form.No more wife beaters and shorts for Monday wear! We masqueraders can be much more creative and innovative than that!
Here are some ideas:
Crystal Bra:
Monokini
Feathered Body Art for the daring: 
Sequin Tops
Other options can include scarves (jeweled and coin), coin belts and bras or even feather wings! The idea is to go forth and be creative.. Monday wear does not have to be your "boring" boy shorts and a wife beater for 2009.

Where the sauce leads the sheeple will follow!
CHAIN UP ALERT!!!!!!!!
hhhmmmm..........I feel I shoulda patent that word "sheeple" before using it on here for the "tribe oversaturation coverage" topics earlier this year.
M, i've seen the word sheeple used many many times before you used it. lol. it's a cool word though.
LOL...so have I....just not on this forum.LOL
well we know you getting your camera ready miss diva! I've visited your blog which is really cool btw, I even appeared in it lol, either way your blog is on point....
ah yes... i was initially going to do the wifebeater with all kinds of bedazzling jewels and airbrushing but now... i'm not so sure. i may have to step it up a couple notches!!!
Madam Saucy.. Mr. Jap brought up a good point while we were grocery shopping yesterday.. Did you not wear a wife beater this year on Monday??
Madam saucy..Jap ask me if you wasn't wearing a wife beater this year on Monday.. ?
Megan,
She said she's changing it up for next year. I've always found Monday wear to be a horrid idea. And to wear a wifebeater on one of our precious festival days is almost sacriligious! I would never even entertain the thought. However, I have to admit that my carnival frontline costume is WAAAY too fabulous to wear any part of it on Carnival Monday 2009. I just can't do it. So I have organized a bling outfit for Monday with the same colours as my section. Different boots, different jewellry, different everything, but same colours. That way I keep the uniformity of my section, but still save my fabulous frontline costume for Tuesday!
PS: I can imagine how designers cringe when they see people wearing wifebeaters in place of the costume bras. If Monday wear is a must, especially for frontliners, at least make it creative, sexy and uniform!
chris you have me dieing here lol
