UWI Carnival Ring Road 2012

:D :$

BUCKETTTTT!!!!!!!!

Island Mas Jamaica did it for me again!! :D

This year i felt getting 'carnivalized' meaning boots, gems, the works...so i did :D

My make up and sling was by Jaye-Ann O'Connor (BagLady by MsJaye in my previous post), stocking and "sequined goodness" ( as somebody called it lol) by Carnival Cute Ja and boots from Fabulous Findz

I decided to jump with Island Mas again because there was no other option really.. Ever heard of 'stick to d evil weh u kno'? Well i believe in that statement 100%. My package this year was $1200 and with that I got a t-shirt, bucket, free pass to Soca Village that night and unlimited drinks, vibes and Carnival goodness on the road, what more could a girl ask for?.... Food, water and sweets in my package and on the road! Felt like I was in Trinidad for while lol :$

I was late this year so i missed the pre-party :( by the time I got to the truck they were by Irvine and believe me walking from Preston i wanted to RUN i could feel the vibes and i was readyyyyy!

Ring Road was AMAAAAAAAAAZING! Dj Billy and Richie Ras took my heart! Island Mas played a total of 20 mins of Dancehall! 20 mins!! I think that's just beautiful :)


"Dutty Fridayz"
With that said....my Carnival experience ended with the march. Once we got to Union, Dutty Fridayz started -___- if i heard 'Bruk It Dwn' or 'Gyal a Bubble' ONE more time! The dj's even started playing gun tune....i sat in amazement I honestly couldn't believe the transformation.

Now i can understand a one n few Dancehall songs but I could count on ma 19 fingers the soca songs played at Union. Playing what the people wanted cannot be an excuse its C-A-R-N-I-V-A-L! Soca should be the order of the day!

Behaviour
For those complaining about the behaviour...what did you expect? Students walking, holding hands and rocking to the beat? kmt..
Jamaica has a Dancehall culture which comes with a 'Dash Out' mentality, so given the opportunity to be half naked in the sun hot with unlimited liquor n soca music pumping people WILL dash out and not in a 1999 sense a 2012 one that incorporates trees, gullies, stop signs and the like..


I will say that I feel Island Mas is the future of Soca in Jamaica, they get the best Dj's, have the best concepts (hello Bucket!!), keep the best parties and they are the fore runners in getting Jamaica up to par with other Caribbean countries when it comes to Carnival. Anywho I'm grateful for the soca I did hear on the road, it made up for the what I had to put up with at Union..  I'm ready for next year!

FAV costumes for the day (Y)
