The females once again stole the show.

It is time that men demand proper costumes. Sad considering that 50+ years ago, men dominated Trinidad carnival and took their time to construct elaborate costumes to depict anything they could think of.

In true Trini style everything became a lime including mas. Feathers are now considered gay, elaborate costumes are too ‘hot’ and cumbersome and so a male costume has degenerated into a pants. What we saw for YUMA’s launch is indicative of this.

Men work just as hard to earn money and just as hard in the gym to look decent on the road…we deserve properly designed and constructed costumes. Better than that YUMA.
