To you...

This blog is for all the full time lovers of mas, kaiso, pan and soca. Its for all of you who hear soca in your dreams, who get excited at the first snip of braid and sequins, who get serious Carnival tabanca at the first beat of a soca, and who understand the meaning of "fete to fete" and "all night till morning!, who could pick up a bottle and some spoons and make sweet music in a riddim section, who could laugh at the satire of beautiful kaiso music and bawl out- oh lash, lyrics fuh so, who appreciate a corn soup and polouri an some bake an shark after a boss fete...is for all of we... all of us!

Cool Jewels!


Well ah wasnt dere- ah had was to take it how ah get it but boy so many choices this year. Yes, I know I going and coming sometimes wid de blog but hold on, de ride is rough but we will reach where we going, hold strain!!!!

Jewels de Carnival looking hot like gas! Notting Hill Carnival will need some firemen to spray these sexy costumes down fuss dey bad! Sexy with a capital S! How do I love this costume? Let me count the ways. Is it the vibrant aquamarine, the perfect colour palette, not too bright, not too dull, complementing most skin tones? Reminiscent of the Loulan? Is it the exquisite cage bra of the first design, set with strategic jewels for the brave and the skinny? Is it the bejeweled monokoni option in a slighter darker shade of aqua that makes for a lovely contrast? Plus shorts and tankini options for the fuller figured (or those who play mas an go to church!) and the standard issue panty and bra. All the backdrop for a humongous show stopping whopper of a headpiece. This is no value Sainsbury's basics affair, this is Taste the Difference in all yuh ass!

Three words- I love it! Kudos to the designer.
Jewels the Carnival is a special section within Burrokeets.
