Saldenah Carnival band launch 2014 - River of Mirrors


Saldenah Carnival launched their much anticipated River of Mirrors presentation at the Kool Haus.
Models from 15 sections came on at 12:45 for a very appreciated @ 1.5 hrs.

 
Aztecah

 
 
 
 

Solstice

 
 
  

Arawak Princess

 
 
 
 

 I was especially drawn to Arawak Princess - that red & blue looks sensational together. The fringed monokini is perfect, the bras & waistbands are bejeweled beautifully, the headpieces are wonderful, and those wings are impressively made.  The red peacock feathered backpack is a scaled down, more manageable version of Princess of the Gates from last year. 
 

Vortex Reflections

 
 

 

Mythic Warrior

 
 


 Amazonia

 
 
 

Soca River

 
 
 

Kudos to this design, for these cute wings to being decorated in the back too.

 

Ancient Goddess

 
 
 
 
  
Ancient Goddess certainly had the wow factor with those head, leg and shoulder pieces.
Very glad to see no massive headpieces slip off this time, and models weren't forced to keep a hand on them to hold them in place. 
And that jeweled monokini, um, sexy much?!?! The soft rose coloured feathers in the feathered one also create a very pretty overall costume.   
Who is the designer for this again?

 

Skyfall

 
I was very impressed with this feathered train in Skyfall, and the back-in-the-day shoulder pads together with a sexy cut out monokini gave it a modern twist.

 

 Medieval: Royals & Rogues

 
 

Beyond Illusions


Cristales

 
 
 
  
Kaleidoscope
 
 
 

Glimmer

 

 
 

Royals

 
 
 The Saldenah crew came out STRONG with each & every section. There's something for everyone: cage bras, different styles of monokinis, high waisted and spider panties, beaded headbands, feathers, jewels and more feathers! 
They've given us soft & feminine colour combos like Kaleidoscope and Beyond Illusions; bold & bright in Glimmer, Arwak Princess and Solstice; a rainbow of colours in Cristales and Mythic Warrior. 
It's not going to be an easy decision at all for masqueraders, with so many creative choices.
