sooo...yesterday was the photo shoot....

We get there at 12 ( doh lie Clivia...you were late 12:30) nothing starts till say 2. so Clivia the Artist is immediately sensitive and testy and wants to pee..and go back in the car and hide...and start over the blasted costumes...you KNOW that braid wasnt right...and why di arse you think you is Mac Farlane and bending wire...STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

.....while Tallest the section leader jus brazen and busy...and looking for design elements to vaguely plagiarize.......so we walk into the rooms where the costumes are. and....

We alright...... nothing to worry about it..we made the cut .... In terms of design and color...nothing is lacking ....and our color Combination i think is one of the most striking out of all of them...

needless to say i walked back out the house......and ran around the block......and did a dutty wine....*singing* " We pretty...take a wine take a wine now"...phew ...

Remember i was really concerned about "CUTE BOY'S section...its very nice...but i still think we okay......

I was having visions of Pride and Sea Wrasse in my head. (non mas players..google it!!) ...thank you jesus..

anyways so now we get to the shoot itself...

I brought makeup and stuff for Tisha our model....Tish names don't need protecting she needs EXPOSURE!!

So i start doing her face....(Alana the Make up artist does all ofClivia the artists Makeup for Tallest the Section Leader...KEEP UP PEOPLE!!!! MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES!!!)

Of course i use the colors of the costume and we already know how striking Tish is...( i dont protect Tish's identitiy becasue she need EXPOSURE!!!

So i do the MAC Glamour face ..lol..and everybody else starts asking....
"CAN you do mine???" ...None of these girls walked with makeup..NONE..so i ended up doing everybody's face... anyways...at this point i tell MAS BAND MAN that i don't have a male costume cause we didn't get the pants in...

How about the Genx man runs around his house rummaging and brings me a Navy blue short short pants an tells me to use that.
I said HELL no...we're gonna go without it..

Anyways on to the shoot....they had the girls dressed up..some of them were really stiff and static...and just posing...and this time they did video too.....

Now mind you we have soca playing and beer running and everything...so they could loosen up...( steups I dont know bout dem but I was well nice...)and they were still stiff and static....

its a pity they dont have chocolate midget models....i woulda been FIERCE!!!

so about 6 costumes in...they said Tish your turn...

Now...Tish is a pro as we know...and she goes in...

She's the tallest chick in the room......the photographer had to stand on a chair...lol..no male counterpart...just her...and the standard....anyways...so she starts posing...like...professional poses...not like the other girls smiling cheese at the camera.. and then...

the foolish foolish foolish camera man...said

DANCE....
oh dear....
The WHOLE ROOM was in shock....that girl SHOULD BE AN HONORARY TRINI... the guys started screaming....the girls were asking who the hell is she...and the photographer nearly fell over...plus GenXMAN picked up his own camera and video taped the girl..lol

SHE WAS AMAZING...you would all have been very proud...

so then they took pictures outside in the sun with all the costumes....and once again the costume looked realllly amazing....

so now this is about 4 o'clock...and GenXMAN asks us to go to the Miami Carnival Launch..
by now ALL the personalities tired...

EXCEPT FOR MAVIS THE MACO...(non trinis ...google it...damn...thats a feature they need to add yes..) So we drove over there...and went inside to set up...in the MASBAND Tshirts...

MIAMI CARNIVAL LADY nearly had a conniption...what are you guys doing here?
Are you registered in Miami?

So of course I'm thinking ...this is not what I came here for...I call GenXMAN.He says...we'll take care of it ...BAM...we registered to play
So we set up the table...mind you the place is HOT as hell...oh..and misfits are there....and Cutler ridge sports club........on an aside...these girls are now VIBRATIONZZ!!] and they're drawings are really nice..I'm so proud of them.), and China, and Radikal, and Acapai, and Islandfntsys, and Wassi ones, ..and people seemed generally happy to see MASBAND ( who di arse i think i foolin with dis??) was there...

I was jus uncomfortable...cause of the unregistered thing...and then..and we went home..long ass day...when I get the pics back...ill share it with everybody... ..
