Why? Say it Ain't so!

Why am I hearing about BABY PINK and POWDER BLUE being among materials shopped for along with "twigs with berries on it" ? Say it ain't so!! Visions of Kwan Ying come to mind or Cherry Blossoms! Yuck,no, no,no!!!!



Why is it that workers and suppliers are writing me BEGGING for a certain BIG band to pay them their money after Carnival? One month later and allegedly the band is putting pressure by withholding money since they said that the manufacturers did not finish the backpacks and headpieces on time... the other side of the story is that the band ONLY dropped of materials 10 days before Carnival! Reports are people were in HELL for those 10 days, not Heaven, sleeping in the production house to finish the work with whatever materials were dropped off!! Say it ain't so!! Pay the people their money please, I really do not want to advise these people to forward their letters to the relevant authorities and not to me as I cannot force them to get paid for their work.

Why is Carnivalscene sticking on publishing the rest of TRIBE galleries? Where are the rest of sections? When are they going to be on the website? Are they never going to be published? Say it ain't so!!!

If we talking bout the same 'heavenly' band. Girl its true. I dealt with Juan Pablo for my NYC band and he had a whole lot to say about that very said same band. Like they ordered and had all their prototypes since March 2008 but never paid for their stuff until JANUARY 2009! And that is just the God's honest truth. I was present for some of the phonecalls. So when the money DID come, the work had to be rushed. Tsk tsk.
