Miami Carnival 2013

Its that time again for the Carnival Divaz Crew to take over Miami Carnival. I apologize for not Blogging in awhile, I have been busy designing over 25 sections this year. I will do a recap of all of my designs this Carnival season is officially over for 2013. For the next couple of weeks, my blog will be about Miami carnival, from beginning to end. I will even post the wild and crazy pics from the production house. Yes, Carnival Divaz teamed up with freedom promotions to produce a Miami section and we have an official production house. So far this collaboration have been great and the responses from the section have been wonderful. Since this is my only personal design for the year, I tried to give it my all (without going overboard LOL). I gave the masqueraders enough options to suite their needs (some said that I gave too much options). My intent was not for everyone to pile on all of the add one at once, but to find what suits you. But you know that true Carnival Divaz loves Feathers and bling so they will definitely be ordering more than one add-on. Here's a few pictures to hold you over until tomorrow when I post Prices and various options.

Chocolate City Band Launch Review

Band: Chocolate City (A.K.A Chocolate City 500)
Launch Date: June 2, 2012
Location: Club Night Flight
Presentation: Bachannal Revellers

Here’s a few pictures from Chocolate City Band Launch:

Overall the costumes were okay but the venue was entirely too small. Word of advice: Please apply foundation over pasties to match the models skin. The pasties became an eye sore because it distracted viewers from seeing the detail in the bra. Also sometimes less is more, some of the makeup on the models were too much. If your head piece is large and detailed, simple makeup is required. Chocolate City have come a long way from being a t-shirt band. They still have a ways to go, but they are making steps in the right direction. Only one section needs a full revamp.

And so it begins

This weekend marks the beginning of band launch season for NY Labor Day Parade. The first band to launch will be Chocolate City on Saturday and Sesame flyers and Karma Mas Band on Sunday. NY bands and section leaders need to promote their launches a lot more. The only three band that everyone keeps hearing about is Ramajay, Sesame Flyers, and Freaks NY. Please start flooding everyone’s page with launch info and details about your band. Show people that there’s a lot of options out there that caters to all different types of people, different size and shaped people, and people from different nationalities.

NY Labor Day Band launch season is about to begin.

NY Labor Day bands are about to launch and I am truly excited. This year one of Brooklyn’s top dj’s Natural Freaks Ultd will be bringing out their own band (Freaks NY). I have been a section leader with them in Miami for the past 4 years, so I am excited to see what they do for Labor Day. Claude from Karma Carnival Band have been doing a lot of private work both local and abroad , I love his designs for St. Lucia carnival and is hoping that he wows us in NY. Both Ramajay Mas and Sesame Flyers are rumored to have a few well known designers designing their In-house sections. I cannot wait to see various wings that will be revealed at Ramajay’s band Launch and also to see Rastarz Mas Debut their first Labor Day section. They had one of the Top sections for Miami Carnival in Big and Strong One Island Carnival band; let’s see if they can do it again in Ramajay. I also cannot wait to see what Akin Ross comes with. We know that he is always over the top (in a good way). Also with great anticipation come Ontarage Ladies/ Koncep section with Natural Freaks as they always use bold colors that stand out among the rest. Finally, let’s see if DesigningDaryl can out do the NY designers this year as the competition is on. This year with definitely be a year to remember as all of the bands are bringing their A game.

Here are a few launch dates and Flyers.

Day 4



What shows, movies, plays, books, or events influenced your life in the past year?

Since purchasing an ipad, I go through books like water. So decided to put myself on a budget. 1 book purchase a month. I have been downloading free books like crazy. The best free books that I have downloaded are "the Mating","The Keeping", and "The finding" by Nicky Charles. I love these books so much that I am reading them all over again. I usually read action books, but this romance novel that captured my heart.


I haven't really done any much in past year besides attend various carnivals.

Day 3



What healthy activities / choices did you do in 2011? What are some you want to do in 2012?


I never practiced good eating habits which is the reason why I have a poor metabolism. When I do decide to eat, the options are always healthy and nutritious. The problem is that I hardly eat because I never have an appetite. I get so engrossed in what I am doing that I don't think about food or even using the rest room LOL. Whenever I start a project that I am passionate about, I tend to forget about everything else. For 2012 I want to continue eating healthy, but more frequently. I want to start exercising and build my metabolism and endurance up.
