So, you know I loveee carnival and my mas! I absolutely can't get enough of the sheer rush and excitement! So, when the opportunity came up to model at the Ramajay Mas band launch I jumped on it! Ramajay Mas is a fairly new band in the NYC area, but they are the new "hot" bad yuh know! There are only in their sophomore year and they are the talk of the town....Sesame Flyers hadda take a backseat yes! They have sensational blinged out, SKIMPY costumes coupled with an on the road moving party reminiscent of the Trinidad mas vibe.
I modeled for the Carnival Divaz section "Aphrodite." It was quite an experience! I've modeled before (when I was thinner LoL!), but I've never done a band launch and I must tell yuh I was actually very nervous about whining on stage. It's different when you're whining down low at at party, as opposed to on a stage in front of a crowd of people critiquing your every move! It was almost impossible for me to get on bad or "wassy" on stage! Yuh fren had to take a hot before I went on stage LoL!
Anyway, in the end it was a great experience! Loved it! The band management is comprised of a group of young and organized individuals with a vision. Have to support that! Plus, they have fabulous costumes that are on par with costumes produced in Trinidad (well..some of the section...not all eh!). Although, I modeled the Aphrodite section costume I registered in Lakshmi, because I fell in love with the radiant pink and gold tones and uber sexy wire bra! I love ah naked costume! I can't wait to parade, prance and palance on the road come Labor Day!
Here are a few pics and video:
