Sesame Flyers 2012: Fire and Ice

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of attending Sesame Flyers' presentation of their 2012 carnival theme, Fire and Ice. Now I will say that I have not played mas on Eastern Parkway since I was a teenager  but Sesame definitely has me reconsidering this year. The costumes were not only gorgeous but I felt like there were many options for masqueraders and there was some variety in the traditional bikini and beads (or lately wire bra and beads) trend. The models and make up were on point! The DJ kept the carnival vibes pumping the entire time! The venue was elegant! They even handed out a card where you could vote for your favorite section!  Ok, ok,  enough talking. They say pictures are worth a  thousand words so lets test out that theory! 

Fire and Ice designed by Sesame Flyers:






HYPNOTICE designed by Exoctica Ladies




"Hot!"*loving the mesh and rhinestone sarong, mesh monokini, minimalist backpack (perfect for a long day of playing mas)* This costume would be perfect for the bold and the beautiful. ; )

The frontline headpiece gives me goosebumps* Unique monokini*

"Bling!"/The crowd went crazy over the  last version of this costume* Personally I am not a fan of wire bra's however this wire bra is classy, reminds me of a Victoria's Secret Bra.*

"The Frontline Headpiece...#Fierce #thatisall"* Options, Options, Options for everyone (the guys too) *The crowd went crazy when the individual costume came down the runway.
