Road March Checklist

Road March is right around the corner! Do you have everything you need? *waits for you to answer....* bet you forgot sumn..

I've done some research on FB and found some pages/people selling or offering services for road march. I've spoken with most of them and their prices are reasonable and ordering is easy. If what you want is out of stock or unavailable you can always check Downtown (Y) lol

ROAD MARCH ESSENTIALS


Boots
From what I'm seeing boots range from $3000-$4000. I heard i could get for $2000 but I'm yet to find that source so.....
Many colours and styles are available from these 2 but if you fell in love with something online Fab Findz can get it to you ---> Daniella Cornwall & Fabulous Findz
I did find some more but their prices were a lil bit more expensive or the page was mia so use these two :)

Makeup

Road March makeup is not that much different from stage makeup as far as I'm concerned, only thing you add a few gems. But it may not b that simple for all of us, for clutz like myself i recommend you get it professionally done or beg a fren (Y)
Chic et Magnifique Make-Up Artistry (as the name suggests she is a MUA)
For makeup items check ----> Annbriana's Cosmetics
and if you have a friend who does makeup bt is clueless he/she can get ideas here

Stockings

Stockings were kinda hard to source (without ordering online from T&T or the US) but i found  Carnival Cute Ja They have EVERYTHING (except boots), even though most of her stock comes in for Jamaica Road March, there is stock available for UWI Road March


Sling Bags
Who else but Bag Lady by Ms Jaye! Ladies always need something to carry stuff in, phone, keys, lipgloss, get vex money etc. Her bags are affordable, cute and can be customized to match your costume (Y). Btw be on the look out for great things from this lil lady!

Other Accessories

Just because your section doesn't have head gear that doesn't mean you should leave your head bare. Lala Lola Headbands have great headbands that can add the finishing touch to your carnival ensemble. check them out
Gems would also be a great addition, Nicole Tiffany has some fab pieces with lil tips here and there (Y)

For toe guards and glitter you can also check out Carnival Cute Ja


I really hope i didn't leave anything out X_X.....if i did sue me :p


I forgot sumn :$ ..... If you need your T's designed by a tru artist send Reeni a message she's FABULOUS with scissors :)

That's it! I hoped i helped a lil :)


*UWI Carnival's Road March is March 17 and Bacchanal Jamaica's is April 15*

Soca Weekend #2

This was NOT a good weekend for me :(

Friday night was rather upsetting due to some pass issues >:o ( i wont even expound on tht) but because of that and some other things when Kes was goin on stage I was sitting at Edna -_____-
Anywho by the time i got there (12:30ish) with ma mek up face he was singing Stress Away lol so i felt a lil better :)

Anywho because i was busy trying to locate the lady with my backstage pass i missed a good amount of Kes' performance :( but based on how the crowd was reacting they were really good (Y)

I got to meet Kes! Legally!! :D
*the pic is taking a day and i half to load so i'll post it later

The Party Animal needs a few kicks! Is Bacchanal how u mus play a 2012 soca song, a 2011 dancehall then a hip hop song (idk the name i dnt really listen to hip hop bt its one a those tht is played at clubs alot) i stood there in SHOCK!

I'm there thinking he's a veteran he'll lift ma mood boy was i wrong. I went home with my make up intact n not one drop of sweat :(


Saturday night was too be my recovery but it wasn't quite what I hoped :(

Billy played a good set so did Sanjay. Ash played really good but he was playing for a 3:30ish time slot and NOT a 1 o'clock. He really brought dwn the lil vibes tht i had building :(
But i guess it was just me and ma crew cuz everybody else was having a whale of a time. I think its cuz at 2/2:30 we're used to a certain vibe and it just wasnt there for us. Maybe we're too connected to Billy lol

Idk if the foolishness of Friday did a toll on me but yea this just wasn't my weekend
