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.
