In a previous post I told you guys that
my homie LingyWasHere.com and I were asked to help design costumes for a new
band. We ended up playing a much greater
role in the band than we originally anticipated and had to recruit our friends and family
to help us bring our vision to life. My apartment
got converted into a mas camp and even my elusive teen helped make costumes.
This carnival was a labor of love and in the end everyone seemed very pleased
with the final costume turnout. Our
initial goal was to create a small band with cute, yet affordable costumes and
we did just that.
Flags from around the globe were waiving high throughout
our band as our masqueraders proudly rep’d their country while displaying
their love of carnival. Very beautiful sight indeed!!
One of our masqueraders was apparently on special release
from the Federal Penitentiary and had Dekalb Police Dept tailing her. Reminds me of a
scene from the Blues Brothers.

Here I was thinking that I have checked Mas Band Costume Designer off my Bucket List so maybe Memorial Weekend 2017 I can head outta town or go back to just being a masquerader for another band, but some of the crew is crazy enough to think that we should do our own band again. Who knows what 2017 shall hold, I don’t even know what I want to eat for dinner tonight.
Special thanks to everyone who decided to ride this crazy carnival ride with us this year. We love you from the bottom of our hearts *MUAH* I leave you with a recap video!
