Visited Jamaal Maglorie & Toronto Revellers' mas camp to see their Viva Las Vegas Caribana costumes. The room displaying the costumes is small and narrow and entirely black. I find displaying the costumes on black mannequins really makes them pop. Jamaal was there to say hi and asked us if we needed any help.
This is Toronto Revellers second year and they went from #15 in 2006 to the number 3 spot on the road, very impressive.
My favourite costume. The vibrant blue really stands out... soft feathers, shimmery ocean coins... I could love wearing this.
The very trendy multi strand seedbead necklace can be worn after Caribana, very nice. The jewels on the bra are a simple, yet pretty touch. Very fine beading hanging down off the waist band.
For the fellas
and the kiddies
Several bands continue to improve on quality and pay closer attention to detail each year, resulting in stunning costumes. When you know you would love to wear a few costumes from a few bands, the designs are improving, making your decision more difficult!
From seeing the detail in these simply sexy costumes, I'd say Toronto Revellers is a contender for Band of the Year.

Great pictures. Which Mas camp has the best showroom/costume display in your opinion? Toronto Caribbean Connection (TCC) at 43 Golden Gate,looks the best.The costumes are amazing.Great choices if you take pride in quality & detail.

ReplyDeleteThat's a hard q to answer... I haven't been to all the camps, I'd like to check out a few more to better answer that... I will try to go to TCC.
Going to have to jump up with this band for a little bit for sure :)
