SHE heard people say...
"Love the Ones that Love You"..
and SHE always thought it was cruel rhetoric..
spewed by bitter, calculating people who choose to crush the spark that is the very cornerstone of human existence..
SHE thought
You cant choose who you love...
Or why you love them...
SHE said
It is an explained matching of natural tendencies
of colliding sensibilities...
of pheromones bouncing across a plane of psychic connections...
charged..
ionic..
And yet...
SHE broke when the one SHE believed was created for her..
mangled the complex intricate spider web of what SHE thought was their love...
tendrils of memories and experiences whipped together and made strong by..
connections..
by conversations about existentialism...
and music ..
and poetry
and IT that is GOD
and life..
life
the thing of constant, alternating, parallel paths,
that eventually lead to an outcome that is changeable but..maybe not..
discernible...but sometimes not...
and the search for that path of THEM...would be made easier because SHE had HE by her side...
SHE
was wrong...
And SHE did what was expected of her...
Rewrite the Melody of her existence...
to a Solo...
a staccato...stilted dirge..
and any new Harmony of HIM that would raise its voice to join hers...
would be met by echo..
a roar of Silence..
a vacuum of SHE...

One Island,
Hey yall
So the truth. Two launches have passed since my last posting. And the reason why i haven't updated you, is unfortunately in true Bacchanalist style, the launches for Wassi Ones and One Island Body Paint - Return of the Avatar were on the same night in venues too far away to make both of them.
SOO Iset up a contingency plan. My friend Will owner of the D-Junction would take pics at Wassi and I would do One Island at Naked.
So I get there at one. Models were scheduled to be on stage at 2..and I walk into the venue. The crowd at Naked was especially thick that night as two of the rooms that would normally allow for a smooth flow of people were shut down . One for a private party and the other for the dressing and staging of the models.
This was a bad sign. As I walked past the room where the models were getting painted...you could see through the partially covered french doors of the room that a photo shoot was underway. I guess i understand the need for privacy in terms of body paint since some of the models were only partially clothed.
I had hoped that both Chatty Patty and I ..would have been able to be let in at some point to take pictures, but since we couldn't find any of our contacts that was a FAIL.
I think it would have been a great ploy to have the painted models displayed through those same French doors as people walked in. - a safe way to display partially clothed models...but I guess time didn't allow for that kinda creative set up.
Finally after sulking in my Guinness and complaining to Patty...lol....we realized that the only photographers let into the room were ones affiliated with the promotion/party...so my plan was to get as close to the stage as possible as early as possible to get the pics that i needed.
Another Fail.
That room was so crowded, so congested, the stage protruded into the crowd but there was no vantage point to get any pictures that would accurately display the costumes...I was soooo dissapointed. Steups.
Anyways...here are some pics that I was able to find from various sources of the One Island Band avatar - Return to the road.

Hmmm...doesnt this look familiar????
When I finally got to speak to Will about the Wassi Ones launch, and to other sources...it seems that the exact opposite was the case at that venue. The crowd was smaller, less hype but the opportunity for great pictures presented itself.

It comes
it comes...
light and slow...
teasing like a cheeky gnat or mosquito trying to dance on your ear...
Then it roars..
like an airplane..
but far over head...
impressing you with its weight and power..
but fooling you with its apparent distance from you...
and then it drops..
like an acme anvil from the looney toons series..
unexpected ,
deliberate,
unavoidable..
FEAR.

Injection Promotions,
Miami Carnival 2010 - Injection Promotions Section Launch - D'Sep Shun of Magic
For more pics go to CarnivalVibration.com
I went to this band launch on Saturday Night at Sosta. I was also asked to do the makeup for the two girls that would be displaying the costume. UNFORTUNTELY we didnt have time to take up close pics because like typical Trinidadians...we were running late.When we eventually got to the venue with the models...the party was already in full swing. When i say full swing, It was so crowded that the small stage that was set up for the models to display was already swarmed with hard feters.
Anyways, soon enough it was time for the models to go on. The Section producer Pinky was so nervous about speaking about the section that eventually she copped the services of "Disco Dave", Promoter and Former radio dj [blink blink] to one, hype up the crowd in readiness for the costumes, Two - move the feters off the itsy bitsy stage and 3 - announce the information about the section to the crowd. Great job Dave!
The models were then led to the stage, again through a thick crowd that seemed more interested in wining on the models than watching the costumes. The Back line model went on and seemed completely enraptured with the music. Then the male model came out...and to the sounds of PIPE soon started jamming down the place with the female model.
Next up was the front-line model, who was so nervous backstage that she needed some liquid courage before she went on stage. It worked well for her...although with the huge back-piece and headpiece being crushed by the crowd she almost never made it to the stage. Apparently the liquid courage worked as soon she and the other two were jamming down the place.
Pros. The colors of the costume are beautiful, although I believe that they don't display as vibrant as they are in the photographs. although this was not considered a band launch per se, the models reflected the mood of the party by focusing more on having a good time than the display of the costume.
Cons. The stage was wayyyyy too small to display the costumes well and because of the rain that night there was no opportunity to photograph the pics in the best lighting that would reflect them well. The crowd though was also so tight that photographers didn't have the opportunity to take adequate pictures of the models in costume.
Wassi Ones will be launching the entire band this week at another venue, where I hope the lighting and space will allow for better display of the costumes.
All in all for a first attempt Injection Promotions did an EXCELLENT job and I expect great things from them in future.
