I'm Excited!! Season Starting

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 clivia 0 Comments

The Band Launches starting soon....
Bands calling out for models for photo shoots....
So you know people guarding their info like mama birds guarding their eggs..
I love it!!!

Around this time the social hermits [myself included] start circulating again...
You want people to see you and ask you..."So what you doing for Carnival??"...
So that the next time they see you they approach you again....
That's the mas chick....we should talk to her..

You also wanna go out and get a feel of who people are excited about ...
and SWING that energy your way if you can..
Talk to Promoters ....work out your collaborations...
See what dj's people responding too..
Carnival is Bacchanaal...
And Strategy too....
Time to Listen
Every man for himself...

It's Carnival :) I'm planning to attend as many of the launches myself..
NOOO NOT TO MACO!! hahaha...
Steups ..Well Yes...what else you goh call it????.
I wanna See what people doing...
and see what spectrum our band/our designs fall into...completely unbiased of course...haaaaaaaaaaaa

Its not feasible in Miami to have the extravagance and luxury of Trinidad COSTUMES!!
But I think the COSTUME part is not the strength of Miami Carnival...
For People who Can't go home... and these days that a Large percentage...
Miami offers an escape in many ways - Climate,Energy...at a reasonable price...if you plan it right.

An escape from the day to day lives....if only for a moment . I think that's why new Yorkers CONVERGE on South Beach....so for a few days they live that SOBE Life...

Then for the parade, they can Imagine themselves home..
Drink on the road, Sun on your skin and Biscayne bay over the water..
That's precious for me.... and for many...

And a Joint carnival this year...just means there is more to share with everybody else...

Bigger and Better and Brighter and Badder!!

I CANT WAIT!!

Honor Them while theyre here....Jesus Saves

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 clivia 0 Comments

Everybody's mourning of MJ is personal...
so instead of Hashing that here ..

This is what I'm saying...
We must honor our own...
and Honor them while they are Here... Alive and Kicking...

SOO all the people who laugh at me about Jesus...
...Be Prepared!! BE FOREWARNED!!

If you thought I had a David Rudder fixation.....or I'm a 3Canal groupie..poor you!!

And its not just about Machel...its About all the others too

I just wish we would Value our icons...before they pass...
Before we don't have access to the genius that they are anymore...

Especially with our own music...[calypso/kaiso]..
they're leaving us!!...with all their instincts and knowledge and experience and innate connections..Something that EVOLVED from US...from OUR national experience!!

They're leaving us...and it feels like no one really cares that they are...
So eventually...we'll forget ...and not even know all the brilliance that was there before...
and if your own people don't acknowledge....don't appreciate...then who...WHAT are you.??
The WORLD is mourning MJ...

Yet even in our trinidad society our greats have died...in silence...and near poverty...and sick...
No acknowledgment...from Us..
Just Dust....
