Speak Easy
If you want to play in Josehine Baker section, but don't want to wear the body paint or the wire bra, you can bring in a bra to be decorated.

Jackson told me as part of the band's initiative to give back to the community, teens at a local youth detention centre are helping make some costumes. A portion of funds from each costume will also go to 8 different charities. Playing mas can be expensive, and for those who can't afford a costume, the band is making costumes available on a what you can donate basis.

The charity idea is a good thing and all but my experience with Trudynasty last year was so horrifying so definitely not playing with them again :(
Imagine showing up to a mas camp the day before Caribana and your costume is NOT ready (OR HASN'T EVEN BEEN STARTED!!!) Then you are forced to wait for close to 8 hours (in the hot/cramped/crowded mas camp) (because you took the public transit from Ajax to the west end) and couldn't go and come back :(
THEN when you finally receive your costume (12:30am), you and your other 2 friends who are in the same section as you have costumes that are completely different... Even worse you pay for the front line and you don't get it.
I hope TruDynasty has gotten their act together this year. They ruined Caribana for many ladies last year and being at the back of the parade didn't really help much either - Many ladies who i met in the line up were from out of town and never played mas before ... I'm sure they got scared off..
