Solid Launches Mythical Segments

Solid Launches Mythical SegmentsAntigua St John's - Solid International Band cemented its place in this year's Carnival celebrations with the launch of its highly anticipated mas troop undee the theme, A Mythical Adventure.

The name comes as the second similar concept design was launched by the cub mas troop Beautiful People.

Band leader and designer Chandy Lewis said he was pleased with the reception to this year's designs and was looking forward to the summer revelry.



A Mythical Adventure features 10 segments, including the white-and-gold coloured Cleopatra, the teal and yellow coloured Nymphai, and the black-and-silver-coloured Persian Warrior, which received a remarkable reception with its apparent consideration for full-figured female revelers.

Minister of Culture Elston Namba Adams was on hand to commemorate the band's launch, and expressed satisfaction with the presentation's creativity.

He also lauded the fact that a notable complement of mas troops had come on board for this year's staging of the Caribbean's greatest summer festival despite the financial constraints and a tough economy.

Carnival 2012 runs from July 2 to August 7.

"Skin is the new Dollar Sign" Are you for real? Keep going down that road and soon vagina will be the new dollar sign. Because at the rate that these costume designers are going, prostitution and pornography will soon be legal street activities in Antigua.

Have mercy!

It appears that the costume designer has an agenda or is still mentally enslaved. That looks like chains on the girl's nipple. Chains on black people . .. .hmmmmm . . ... sounds familiar. This is slavery all over gain, but another kind. No reason to celebrate "emancipation" while still "enslaved"
Our ancestors must be rolling over in their graves. :sigh:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same old talk. Everybody calling for modesty, nobody really meaning it. Don't you think that is why we say the same things every year, yet the mas camps with the skimpiest sections fill out early? Stop your lecturing. Even the church has capitulated.

" Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: BUT know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are VANITY. " :-*

Yeah I agree with us showing too much skin .. But Carnival is also about making money. The people want to show more skin , and thats how we make money nowadays. Plus why do you think Trinidadians makes so much money in Carnival ? Because they carter to want the customers want. ... The mas players have so many options; if they want to show less skin the mas makers will in sure they provide it.


This is raw talent and it seems like even with Talent you still can't please Antiguans , its always so negative , support our own. ... Skin is the new Dollar Sign

SODOM AND GOMORRAH ALL OVER AGAIN

#4 Devon » 2012-05-15 10:44

Its really ashame when a people loses all its moral standards and surrenders into the hands of the greatest enemy of mankind. The Bible did foretold it though.. "Matt. 24:37-38: “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,”
We need to pray and seek God's mercy because as we continue along this path, we are doomed! The signs that bring the downfall of any nations are all upon us now.
