Masqueraders registered with Spice online using paypal have been getting an email saying:
You received a full or partial refund of *$180.00 USD from Spice Carnival Band.To see all the transaction details, please log into your PayPal account. It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in your account.'
*deposit amount varies with each email.
This " glitch in the system" has been happening since Friday night yet no one from Spice has come forward to explain to their masqueraders what the issue is; nothing on their website or on their facebook page and no email either!
The thing is, I hope this is not a phishing scam and masqueraders who paid via paypal should NOT click the link in the email but log into their paypal account by typing www.paypal.com in their browser. Maybe Spice will address the issue soon....
Island People started registration yesterday for Past Masqueraders, and from all accounts everything went smoothly and quickly as there was not a mob of masqueraders lining up and rounding the bend on Stone Street!
Maybe it was the fact that it was a Saturday that people took their time!
Both Ronnie & Caro and D Krewe launched their Carnival 2010 presentations last night, professional photos of Ronnie & Caro's TRIBUTES were posted by me last night since I did not attend their launch. Initial reviews of D Krewe from those that were there seem to be very positive, here is a teaser, more sections still to be released:
RAINFOREST
ZULU
VENOM
KINDRED SPIRIT
PASSION
TSUNAMI
Looking good so far D Krewe, though I HAVE to say Tsunami is giving me a strong Zari vibe!

That Kindred Spirit is really nice. I LOVE the headpiece and waistpiece with the fabric. Looks very Minshall-y! And I'd like to see a better lit shot of Zulu. The headpiece looks pretty fab as well.
The other costumes look ok; nothing groundbreaking. I really hope they do not re-design Kindred Spirit, like they did Waterfall this year!
let's hope so bunneh... that's my section...

Well, so far so good for IP!
IP registration was a breeeeeze. Hopefully everything runs so smooth carnival Monday an Tuesday.
Sorry to hear bout the Spice 'issues'
Can anyone explain the theme for D'Krewe's presentation? I am finding it hard to correlate the section names with each other, let alone with the name of the presentation " Salvaje".
Or am I expecting too much. I mean I accept that costumes seldom have any connection, but often times a central theme can be found with respect to band name and section names. :S
Any word on sold out sections in IP yet?
D Krewe is really challenging their brains to make the bikini mas more theatrical. Kindred Spirit is a smash, and Zulu got a great vibe as well. Maybe, simply because the model knows how to rock the pieces; she is quite nice.
Goddess, salvaje is wild (let your imagination run .... :) )
wild, savage , untamed
