I have no Carnival Info. So I'll update u on myself

Just as the post says, I have absolutely no gossip, no carnival info to post on, This pre band launching/ post Trini Carnival season is a drab. Just with the occasional, St.Lucian band recreating costumes. There isn't much going on, that I know about to tell you.

So basically I've been spending time just being lazy, until my courses start. I am looking to take some cosmetology and advanced cake decorating courses to satisfy my thirst for learning more trades.lol.

I got my first blackberry, a 8320 for a grand total of TT$1630!(including the TT$300 customs charge and the TT$36 sky box freight charge) Take that b mobile with your ridiculous price of $3500! Isn't it cute? I already pimped it out with custom skins from Vision Skins and Unique Skins!lol All I had to do was just sign up for BIS everything worked great outside the box!!!


I am joining the gym from next month with the huzzy! Because I've thrown on alot of weight since Carnival and I now look like an elephant! lol


Oh I am also unleashing some bigger plans for Bags By Mimi this coming season, I'll be importing some necessities that will be unleashed as soon as band launching season kicks off!!!

Well anywho let me know what you my readers are up to! Toodles!!!lol

Shoes!!!!

So I decided I am not spray painting my boots, because it is too cute for that! I love it and I don't want to 'spoil' it as my brother who hardly if ever comments on my clothes and shoes! So anyway, my niece, (yes d fiery one I does talk about) is having some kind of Carnival jump up in her school where they have costumes and stuff. I don't know what the costume looks like but all I know was it is supposed to be red and gold. Hence, the shoes!
Yes i did it myself!

So here are the steps.

1. tape off sole and areas you don't want to get painted!
   
2. i spray painted the entire shoe
   
3. spray on glue and let it set for 2-5 minutes or dictated time.
   
4. sprinkle glitter on shoe, leave for about 5 minutes then tap shoe to get extra off.
5. add any other decorations!
6. finito!
   

And I am going to braid my hair tomorrow!!! yay!!!

Campus Carnival 2009

So as some of you know Campus Carnival was Friday gone and Iw as actively involved, since my sister in law and her boyfriend were bringing out a band...Children of the Forest! It was 2008 reigning champs! And in my honnest opinion all things aside, it was the best looking band...honestly.

Campus Carnival is a good option to those who do like playing mas but not in the day, who cannot afford to pay $2500 and up for a costume and those who just want to have a little fun before Carnival monday and Tuesday to get them in the mood. The bands, most of them if not all are all inclusive with drinks and food. Mostly cornsoup and doubles or something simple like that. Don't go expecting to get a TRIBE or IP bar; Remember it is students who are organising it after all ...

But what I could tell you it was reallll jamishness! It put me in the right mood for this coming week, so much so that I don't feel I could think straight nah, all I hearing in my head s soca, and all I seeing is me, on people dem car wining down d place. And d hubby wasn't around for too long ( like he was trying to make this resemble carnival monday and tuesday) it was even more jamishness!!!!! All i have is memory of me stick up on d side of somebody car(poor ting) while my friend sabrina...(yes sabrina who does make d bags n dem! ) pelt waist liek it goin out of style and back it up on me...it was bachannal! But I am ttelling you I exectued FHOness to the highlest elvel...the face was always on point, I was captivating plenty camera, Ie ven chop up meh jersey and make it an off the shoulder top! Yes! I executed it quite ell for a first timer, it is safe to say I am ready for d road!!!!

But my sister in law will make a good FHO look at this girl cosutme that she made all by herself nah!! I am proud!!!!
