RECENT TURN OF EVENTS

Due to unforeseen circumstances and events, DCARNIVALBABY and affiliates will NOT be attending the band launch of Island Gems tonight.  We'd like to wish Island Gems Mas all the best in their future endeavors. 

DCARNIVALBABY

NEWS FROM ISLAND GEMS!

So I'm hearing that walking with money to register in this band is strongly advised. There are two sections already sold out and another on it's way. With 2015 being Island Gems' debut year, they are not waiting on their band launch to begin selling costumes.  Between close friends, family and models what they believe to be the 'HOT' sections are already SOLD OUT!  Masqueraders, don't be alarmed, Peter has assured me that room will be made for those few who are seriously interested. I TOLD YOU he was a REAL gem!!  I wasn't made clear on if jouvert registrations will be open as well but from my previous knowledge of Island Gems, it will be.  Since my leaving, things have changed up A LOT so just be prepared in case this is the direction you will be going come carnival day/jouvert morning.

ONCE AGAIN,

YOU'VE BEEN ADVISED

NEXT BAND LAUNCH, ISLAND GEMS MAS

THE FACTS:

• I am no longer, in any way affiliated with the Island Gems brand.
• My decision to leave was long overdue, all things do have an end.
• Island Gems is no longer under the control of Lesel 'Gems' and is now under her husband Peter. I guess we can call him Peter 'Gems' as he really is a gem, he is quite the find!
• The brand Island Gems will no longer be under the Wassi Ones umbrella as they have branched off to start their own band for Miami Carnival 2015.
• The brand Island Gems is no longer affiliated with Something Jouvert as they will also have their own jouvert band named Disorderly Conduct.
• The entire band will be designed and produced by Mas Brothers and the band will launch these designs on May 30th.

YOU'VE BEEN ADVISED.

SOMETHING JOUVERT REGISTRATION HAS BEGUN

REGISTRATION IS UP!

If you missed Canboulay in Brooklyn, have no fear. 

SOMETHING JOUVERT HAS GOT YOU COVERED 

Something Jouvert is back by popular demand.  Last year the band was like all the others, we were ALL just trying a thing because Miami-Broward Carnival Committee has never in all the years of existence; added a FULL jouvert to the Miami/Broward carnival line up of events.  No one knew exactly what to expect or what they were actually getting themselves into.  'Cause lets face it, we as Caribbean people know how this thing goes.  We are told one thing and get another.  We behaved ourselves and got our jouvert for a second year and Something Jouvert is coming out BIGGER and BETTER than last year! Some of our masqueraders were discussing this at the Fathers Day launch on Sunday and didn't see how this was possible but yes, there is PLENTY more in store for the masqueraders than what we had last year.  IS LEVEL PUMP! 

Something Jouvert WILL be supplying: 

• PREMIUM DRINKS/TOP SHELF
• Surprise artists (we can't spill the beans but they're already LOCKED and LOADED.  You're gonna LOVE them, TRUST)
• Live DJ's on the music truck to include iChunes and Eternal Vibes
• Wristband from the committee
• Wristband from Something Jouvert (we won't be giving your drinks away to anyone but YOU)
• Home made Breakfast
• Live Rhythm Section out of Orlando
• T-Shirt
• Whistle *men
• Horn *women
• Glasses
• Paint
• Colored powder
• Mud
• Oil
• Water

YOU FEEL YOU COULD HANDLE ALL FOUR EVENTS OF

WASSI'S WEEKEND?

XTASY MAS WEBSITE IS UP!!!!!

Good day peeps, things have been a little rough with the new one and all but things are getting back to normal slowly but surely.  Well, Xtasy Mas has joined forces with Fun Generation Mas.  Fun Generation Mas is presenting their Phases Of The Moon and Xtasy Mas will be holding down the section of Harvest Moon.  I was unable to go to the band launch last weekend (for the obvious reasons) but you can checkout the new website HERE and you can check out the costume Harvest Moon HERE

Im sitting here laughing to myself because like this year these section leaders are taking in front because just like Adalia Mas and Island Gems Mas has done with Wassi Ones, so has Xtasy Mas with Fun Generation.  The bands themselves have not gotten their websites together as yet but these section leaders have their sections, costumes, websites and registrations up and more than ready to go. Some have even sold out!!!!!! Carnival, you just gotta love it!

Wassi One's this year will be bringing to you REFLECTIONS. this section is called Reflections.......of Life and it is being brought to you by Island Gems Mas. I am always honest on all of my blog entries, so I wont stop being honest now.  With all the band launches taking place and with the OFFICIAL Miami-Broward One Carnival Launch that passed on Saturday, many people are contacting me and asking which band I am playing with this year.  

THIS is the one, this band and this section.  I love the vibes of Wassi One's.  Giselle 'Wassi' Branche brings her explosive energy TO the band and they take everybody! There is no label on what size, sex, color or race you hada be to get into the band and I love that.  They are just a group of people that want to get on BAD on the road and the name of the band says it all, WASSI ONES!!!!  What I wont do however is advertise whether I'm frontline or backline, like anyone has to guess hard. LOL

SOCA 360/ NAKED DOES IT AGAIN!!!

COME WITH CAMERAS AS THIS FETE

WILL BE HOSTING THE 
OFFICIAL SECTION LAUNCH 
FOR 
ISLAND GEMS MAS

SECTIONS TOO HOT TO WAIT FOR BAND LAUNCH!!!!!!

VIEWINGS OF ISLAND GEMS AND ADALIA MAS!!!!!

One of the sections within the WASSI ONE'S mas band had a viewing on Saturday night and it was awesome.  Let me begin by saying KUDOS to ISLAND GEMS/ISLAND GEMS MAS for pulling off a Curry Que at one of my wine down spots, D Soca Ranch, in the rain!  The rain prevented NOTHING! The place was full of people, food and music. Music was brought to all by DJ's Ichunes and DeeInspector (GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!). Double 12 made an appearance and out of New York DJ Diamond Kutz came to MC.

REFLECTIONS OF LIFE by ISLAND GEMS MAS

 From what I hear, ISLAND GEMS MAS will be having their official photo shoot this Saturday and the OFFICIAL SECTION LAUNCH will be held at SOCA 360/ NAKED on July 9th @ The Calder Racetrack. At this time completed costumes will be shown along with the mens costume.  Pictures will be posted on the ISLAND GEMS WEBSITE shortly after the launch. This makes TWO of Wassi's sections that are not waiting on the band launch to show off their sections.  We also have X'ixic Winic by Adalia Mas! This section will be on display at Ginger Bay THIS THURSDAY in Hollywood, so get your cameras together and charge them up!  This section has already had their photo shoot and are all ready to go!  Adalia's section pictures can be viewed HERE.
