I suppose after Big Mike and Ian McKenzie split up Legends, Mr. Big obviously beat Ian to the race in coining his band with the eerily similar and familiar name. Obviously, this helped court loyal Legends masqueraders to Legacy. Fortunately or unfortunately, the beautiful carnival Divas or (F.H.O as you call them) were not convinced or fooled as they all flocked to Genesis, a smaller, intimate band with much personality and grandness despite their smaller size. Much to my chagrin, I found fabulous Divas few and far between in Legacy and discovered them 36 hours into the mas experience by the tail end of Tuesday night walking back to our car. There they were all dolled up, fabulous, shimmering and still Fabu looking being flanked by beautiful strong men in Genesis Troy (see pic) ;
It was by happenstance and undeliberateness that I ended up in Legacy anyway. I suppose I could blame it on being too slow, too lazy and too complacent to get in early and use my inside connections or broadband online speed to get in a section of the other premium and much sought after bands. When choice wasn't really an option any longer, me and my girl Natasha, searched various band sites for what we thought we'd look good in and there the all-Indian showcase offered in Legacy piqued our interest and hence our Carnival 2K7 romp was set. We just had to tell our husbands and friends to register and surely they could with no problem our section was a 1/4 full and by carnival day, we learned was one of the smallest sections.
I must say despite the fact my husband and I overpaid a total of $750 for both our costumes (premium Tribe and IP prices indeed), the costumes did in fact look much as presented in online pictures. Surprisingly, the shoddy substandard materials held up, though I lost a few beads and buttons climbing in and out my car Tuesday morning. Overall, the mas looked quite beautiful on the road, en masse and all together. I suppose it helped that there very very few stormers in the band and everyone stuck to their sections, perhaps having been scared from previous Legends experiences of being scorned into submission about staying with your section. I guess, in hindsight, I miss those stormers as my husband explained the obvious reality that no one wanted to really storm our old stodgy band populated with maturer and more conservative revelers. I imagine my first guess this would have been the case should have come when I went to pick up my costume at the store-front mas camp at the corner of Carlos and Rober Streets in Woodbrook.
Despite that most of us customers had to wait in extremely 2+hour long lines, with nary a complimentary drink in sight, the patrons picking up their costumes on the Friday afternoon I was there were relatively mature, respectful, pleasant and unpretentious folks. No High Maintenance, demanding, posh and stosh diva in sight. They did not fuss too much about the mix of pleasant and unpleasant workers some who were frustrated and short-tempered people who should obviously switch professions to one where they don't have to interact with other human beings. Neither did many customers raise too much a stink over the fact that Big Mike and Juliet de la Bastinde seemed to have only trusted one woman to note BY HAND in a registration book the wristband identifications for all 5,000 + band members! I mean, I don't have an inside knowledge on what might have gone on in previous years, but if trust was such a big issue, they really should have enlisted their mothers, fathers and cousins to work the last few days leading up to Carnival Monday. Even though I was second in line on that particular Friday afternoon I was there, the registration process still took over 2 hours long.
Given the fact that it is 2007, it would make sense for them to invest in a sophisticated database system. When you'd go to pay the balance, theyd pull out a hand-written card with your particulars that followed you through the pick up process. Huh It is utterly RIDICULOUS that they would have the extremely efficient process of online registration, only to have to force some poor minimum wage workers to transcribe by hand what we abroad had digitally filled out and sent over to them in an organized and searchable electronic format. How INEFFICIENT IS THAT?
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't comment on the unfortunate fire that left many of the costume materials destroyed days before carnival. I was heartbroken to hear of the devastation, but my not enough that I wouldn't want to be told that my frontline costume would exist no longer. Not only was I not foretold that I would be due a refund for the bustle and extra large headpiece I ordered, but my registrant assistant took my full money and then charged me $40 TT extra for the wee wee truck even though it was advertised to be included in the all inclusive section. I had to come back days later to get my refund only after my girlfriend told me she got a refund and did NOT pay anything for the wee wee truck. That left a bad taste in my mouth that they'd want the money so bad that they were willing to skim off the top that way.
This brings me to final point, that under the pressure of recent bands to offer all-inclusive section, it seems now the term all inclusive can mean a mediocre but edible meal, a wee wee truck and a drink truck stocked with half-premium drinks, with our without a sufficient allocation of ice and chasers. Notwithstanding all of this, I would have at least had to have gotten my to goody bag without my husband having to return after we had left and nearly threaten our sour-faced costumer handler for it. My word, it's not if there was a free digicell phone in there. Didn't their sponsors offer give them for free the sample products and coupons to promote and market their products? It's not like they assembled them in some descent satchel, back pack or fanny pack as I've had in other bands, they were merely scattered at the bottom of plastic bag!
The jump up was decent, but not nearly as raucous, get on wassy, and down right NASTY as I am used to in other bands brimming with flames, friends, old classmates, Divas, B-boys, celebrities, primadonnas, stormers and all the rest of the madness that make for a Fabulous Monday and Tuesday. For that, I will not be returning to Legacy and will get my tail in order next time around. I do hope my remarks may help them work out the kinks for those fine complacent people who are loyal to Legends er um I mean Legacy.

GOOD MORNIN NEIGHBOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am SO ready for mas this morning! Do you all see the time? It is past 5:00AM and I am wide awake, butterflies in my stomach and I cannot sleep. Right now I am looking at j’ouvert on TV and I am going to try on my Monday outfit one last time, I am thinking of making a small change so we will see how it goes. I think my original idea for Monday wear might be too much, so I am taming it down a bit. I really don’t want to have anyone trying to tell me that I am wearing a “costume” from another band and looking to try and put me out! We all know one person in particular was giving out instructions on Monday Wear at Cascadia costume collection, and though I will not be wearing any part of my costume I still don’t want any issues today! I am all about having a GREAT time, you know Monday is the day to break away and really enjoy yourself. Tomorrow will be a different story altogether!
Oh, I did not tell you guys that my fabulous Diva lashes are out! After taking the time and spending the money to have them done I simply could not keep them in! When I woke up yesterday one eyelid was missing lashes so I had to go back to get them repaired, and then throughout the day I kept feeling as if my lashes were too heavy! When I got home I could not wash my face properly because they were too long and I wear eye glasses at home so they kept hitting the lenses! After washing my face they felt even heavier and that was it, I had enough! So, I googled how to remove them, slathered Vaseline over my lids and gently removed the Diva lashes along with a few of my own.
I am kind of mad that they gave me so much trouble, they did look fabulous, but I feel much better now. If I can find strip lashes today I just might attempt that tomorrow as I know now I am not making it to the makeup artist! I got up this morning at 4:30AM and that was only after our small lime yesterday. Imagine after mas today what time I would have to get up tomorrow to do my makeup, plus that would entail me and the hubby getting dressed at the makeup artist’s place and I am so paranoid that I might forget something at home!I am doing a makeup practice run today, so tomorrow I should be quite prepared.
At the moment I putting some final touches to hubby's Monday wear "costume", it seems he is somewhat upset at not playing j'ouvert this morning so the man is wearing a cross between j'ouvert and Monday mas! Look out for him on the road, you will not miss this one! Let me just say again I AM READY FOR MAS!!!!!!!!!

Carnival Preparations
With 18 days and counting before the "greatest show on earth" is unleashed for 2007, work is taking place around the Savannah at a hectic pace. Gone are the North and Grand Stands this year, this is now what remains:
The photo above also shows the layout for Panorama Semifinals on Sunday, with the low white fenced area being the infamous "North Ground".
Vendors booths are now decorated with a new logo and though diminished in numbers there are still several located along the parade route:
The Police Post is up, facing Memorial Park:
Here is where the bands will parade before the judges who will be accommodated under this tent right in front of the tennis courts at Princess Building Grounds:
Obliquely opposite is the VIP stand:
Regular patrons looking for a seat will be seated on these stands that line either side of the Parade route up until Victoria Avenue, they are not completed as yet, hence the missing seats:
I must say the proximity to the masqueraders and spectators will be MUCH closer than when they were seated in the Grand Stand and North Stands; these stands put them in a viewing range to inspect every costume as it passes by. Prime viewing seats for sure!

2 Ha'quai
Small band 2 Ha'quai finally updated their website. The band launched last year and photos from that launch can be seen on trinicrew.com. The band comprises 5 sections and is all-inclusive. From the photos of the launch I see one section has been upgraded, and frankly speaking some of the other sections needed a little tweaking as well. I firmly believe even though your band may be small the quality of costumes should not be compromised. That being said I do like Fancy Fancy Sailor and Overnight Tahiti.
The sections and prices are as follow:
Fancy Fancy Sailor:
Price $ 1300.00 (F)
$1500.00 (m)
The Queen's Sailors:
Price $1700.00 (F)
$1200.00 (M)
Voyage from San Luca
Price $1800.00 option A (F)
$1750.00 option B (F)
$1200.00 (M)
Overnight Tahiti
Price $1900.00
Pirates and Wenches
Price $1800.00 (F)
$1200.00 (M)
The mas camp is located on 1 Nepaul Street, St. James
Contact: 766-8261
790-9859
NY - 718-398-3498
Washington - 202-320-3695

Two more gone at Harts!
Something strange is going on over at Harts, two more sections have sold out, they are Xen and Oceana.
Of the remaining sections only Herland Orange with small headpiece, Aaru Female turquoise/royal blue and Nirvana are still open. I suspect if Nirvana’s colours were brighter rather than pastel hues that section would have been sold out by now.
Maybe it was the news item on the radio this morning stating that Harts only had five sections remaining, or it could be the fact that Imij and Company will be performing live on the road or that newspaper item today which quoted Harts as having the cheapest prices of the big bands out there. Whatever it is, people are grabbing up the remaining costumes like hot bake! I feel a sense of nostalgia as Harts was my band before discovering the joys of all-inclusive in Poison and I do wish them well. Who knows, maybe if prices keep skyrocketing in the coming years it will be back to Harts for me!
My bet (again) is on Harts for being the first band sold out for Carnival 2007!

Harts on Fire!
I should start calling Squeezle "Eye on Harts",her keen eye and swift fingers have pointed out yet another section gone in Harts, Zeal (the one that replaced yellow El Dorado) is sold out!In addition Aaru large headpiece,Benin female,Herland wine,Oceana Blue and Blue/Green are all sold out. I have been sleeping on Harts while sections were queitly being sold out! The remaining sections which are still completely open are Arcadia, which is the cheapest section, Nirvana and Xen all of which are cute costumes at a reasonable price.
What is with this renewed vigour in Harts? It's the fourth day of the new year and they are selling out sections daily! Well I have to say Harts used to the band completely sold out come December back in the day and the few remaining sections are all pretty decent,I would gladly play in any of them, so for anyone who had an eye on Harts , look sharp they are selling out faster than you think.
Bands are selling out people, can you feel the Carnival excitment?!

New Look Pulse 8
It has been awhile since I have ventured over to Pulse 8's website, I must admit waiting for the page to load with all the flash html and fancy bar scene took away the appeal of frequent vists. Therefore I was quite surprised to see that the website has been amended to cater for those of us with dial up; all the sections are now visable on the right of the page, without having to wait for the page to load. In addition, there are new navigational shortcuts to the top of the website where you can access the gallery or information on what their package entails.
It is also interesting to note that two frontline costumes have sold out; both Sex on the Beach and Anti Freeze FRONTLINE costumes are sold out. Good going Pulse 8!
