How sweet it is

Tribal Knight's 2012 Candyland presentation gave us lots of big bright jewels as shiny candy coated treats.

People often ask what the back of costumes look like, so here you go...

Sugar Rush


Juicy Blues

Bubblelicious



We still love our huge feathered headpieces in Toronto, so there's not going to be a shortage of them from the bands this year, and wings are big this year, never mind if you're a winged creature or not. Many sections had collars, or a paired down version, without. Basically, feathers are still the go-to mas material for designers. The Juicy Blues section had a few different options, with a couple very pretty jeweled headbands for those who don't wear headpieces on the road anyway. It was nice to see Tutti Frutti's bra options and monokinis. Just like thongs aren't leaving mas any time soon, cage bras are still too new for local designers. They gave us a few different ones, from the very basic wire bra to what I'm going to call a cut out shelf bra.
I liked all the colour combos, most really popped, and will look fantastic on the road. As promised, Tribal Knights has given us a first: Bubblelicious is the 1st frontline only section for Caribana, offering masqueraders 5 choices.

Mr. Big's don't think they forgot you, the male sections have their own Hard Candy launch on
Friday, April 20 @ The MAS CENTRE (83 Dynamic Drive Unit 11, Scarborough - Markham Rd and McNicoll Ave.)

Blues carnival fusion 2012 band launch Apocalypse



 Last night we had the pleasure to witness Blues carnival fusion's 2012 presentation of Apocalypse.

If this is what the end of the world is going to look like, then bring it on.

Here are some photos of their costumes and their website is now up, so you can see the pro shots there http://www.bluescarnivalfusion.com/bcf/

 Caribana is starting early this year and I'm really liking what I see
