I GOT MY MONDAY WEAR!!!!

Ok well I really was not going to do this Monday wear thing only because I spent so much $$$ on my costume already but Carnival fever lick me this weekend and now I have Monday wear accessorized and all!!!

So basically I am coming out on the road in a beaded thong bikini (from La Vie en Rose) in my favorite colour (if you haven’t guessed its PINK!!!) but I am going to wear a black shear wrap over my backside until I reach the stage – or finish 3 bottles of rum to myself – which ever comes first :) – so what do you all think, is that appropriate Monday wear. My colour theme would be mostly pink with some black (i.e. wrap and shoes) probably going to end up braiding my hair for Carnival Monday.

Actually to tell you the truth I don’t think its really a bikini – probably falls more in the lingerie department but it’s Carnival nuh??

117 More Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I CAN'T WAIT, I CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WAIT TILL MORNING (well February, but whatever) PORT OF SPAIN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME....."

All I can do is grin guys - imagine what we all going to be like once Christmas pass - oh gosh oh gosh

How You All Plan On Getting Mad On Da Road??!!??

So I was taking a vote to see what you all like to drink on the road AND TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU - for a bunch of trinis you all got me real disappointed here with the results....

RESULTS

What is your Favourite Drink(s) while on the road?

18% Black Label with cokes
0% Black Label straight

3% Black Label with Frutia

12% Black Label and Red Bull :)
6% Punchin
6% Rum Punch

0% Carib
15% Stag

29% Water - the people want water

12% I rather smoke the herb

What is going on with the water here!!! Now I know it is required on the road but how can you say it is your favourite!!!!

So saucy as soon as I figure out how to change the voting options on that poll I will add your drink (scotch with coconut water) and remove the water!!!

I really don't know what is going on here.........Ok ok, maybe I didn't have enough choices, I take the blame for this one. So please tell me then, what do you like to drink???

Mash Up Da Place!!!!

Ok so since we are all talking about getting fit and ting it brings to light the fact that our bodies need to stand up to the pressures of Carnival. Your size does not necessarily always relate directly to your fitness level – trust me there are nuff skinny girls that people would call fit that have NEVER stepped foot in a gym and trust me I could go outside for a run with them and they will well be huffing and puffing you know.

Carnival is almost here - time to work it girls!!! No time to stick!!!

Come Carnival you really need that stamina if you plan being on da road for 3 days (Sunday night till J’Ouvert bruck out and then Monday and Tuesday) Shit 4 days when you count Ash Wednesday. For me it well go one from there – let us not forget the fete at Pigeon Point come Thursday!!! Best thing for this I feel is to build endurance – give them a run nah. Start jogging ladies – aim for 3 times a week and you will love the results (come on and try it for a month). For all you in the hot sun you best not find no excuse – I do it here in the damn cold you know :)

Best to have your body strong come Carnival - squats, lunges, push ups, dips (reverse pushups)
really do wonders. Carnival can well mash you up. By the time I done last year I had bruises on my body that till today I can not tell you where they came from – mash up the place??? Indeed!!!

Another great form of Cardio is skipping. Remember to try things in circuits, causing your heart rate to speed up and back down can really give your workout that oomph it needs.

Now I am not no personal trainer but I keep in shape, I work out a good 4 times a week so if you need advice re something, go ahead and ask and lets see what we can come up with.

Lets all help push each other so that we feel hot and are confident with our bodies and then I feel Carnival will take care of itself on the road and 2007 will be the badest/maddest year ever!!!

Time to Start to Tan :)

So Trinidad Carnival is now like 4 months away and I think it is a good idea for me to start tanning. I am not lucky to be living in a country that is blessed with the sun so I must resort to the good ol fake and bake!!!!

Last night after the gym I came home and shower and by the time I dry my hair and thing (reaching 10:00 at night – tanning salon open till 11:00 Bless them!!!) it was too damn cold to go back out on the road to reach the tanning salon. You see over here in Canada we saw our first bit of snow yesterday – now that is some crazy shit – it only October you know!!!!!

So off I go – hoping I stop by the salon on my way home – I will let you know how it all go tomorrow. Got to love me – I have no problem going to work my ass out in the gym on the regular but I lazy to go lay down in a tanning bed – guess because its been a while. I must start and keep it up because in case you have not all figured it out by now I am foreign, real foreign and I will not be caught on Carnival day skinning up my pale ass in the streets of Port of Spain.

Does this look appealing to you island girls LOL....

I can bet it dosen't :)

I am assuming not a lot of foreign people (like me) play in Tribe unless they are really on top of their game (band sell out quick) – can anyone confirm this???

Let’s Vote on Fetes

For those coming to Trinidad for Carnival 2007 let me remind you that before J’Overt, before Carnival Monday and before Carnival Tuesday there are the countless fetes that fill the savannahs across the land. There are so many on one night at times it is had to choose which fete you actually will attend, lets all share our experiences about the fetes we’ve reached.

Here is a recap of ’06 for me, mind you I was well under the influence so please bare with me, reciting these is going to take some work!

Last year as I soon as I land I took a shower and made my way to Brass Festival – boy did I have a time. From what I remember this was the Saturday a full week before Carnival, same night as Alternative Concept. I loved it and hope I reach Trinidad in time to go Brass again. The huge flags are definitely present at Brass and this year I think I want to bring a huge flag of my own.

Battle of the Sexes was a concert that I also enjoyed. On stage were Destra and Machel Montano. The venue wasn’t as crazy as the other parties which was nice because I whine up so close to the front that I was actually using the stage to rest my drink upon.

GLOW – unfortunately it was raining the night of glow so I wasn’t going to find myself in a muddy savannah wearing my best, anyone attend?

INSOMNIA!!! Need I say more? This is a must!! I was tore between Insomnia and Dawn but choose Insomnia over the two and by no means was I disappointed. I party till the sun came up!! When the fire hose came out I ran up in that water for what seemed like a good two hours. This was the Saturday night following Kiddies Carnival – the weekend leading up to J’Ouvert (Kiddies Carnival all should attend as well). If you attended Dawn let me now how that went…

Soca Monarch – Sad to say I didn’t reach – had total intentions to but don’t remember what happen – but I was jamming in some local bar and they did have the competition on television. This one is on my list this year.

ManZan Cool Down – this took me for ever to travel to (well so did Insomnia but I just caught a 5 in the car) but was well worth it. I partied for the day and was able to cool down in the water many times during the fete. Maracus has a cool down o but I feel the water too rough – only time will tell where I find myself this Ash Wednesday BUT I DO KNOW that on the Thursday you will find me at Pigeon Point’s beach party, Tobago.

WASA Fete, Girl Power, Hilton Poolside – Enlighten me

See what this blasted Canadian weather does to people - I have been sick for days and unable to reach the computer but none the less Carnival has been fully on my mind. I've managed to keep up the diet and the exercise routine.

I'm starting to feel a bit better now so let me take a look at my blogg and I should be back to posting soon :)
