Remember my post about the party called
"Pose" which takes place on the same night as Glow? Well, "Pose" is Glow reinvented!
The Promo:
Each top soca artiste is paired up with a local fashion designer for a photo session, utilizing a bolt of white cloth still attached to the spool, the photos from the session to be used in a keepsake mini-magazine distributed free of charge to promote the event.
The Event:
Each Top soca artiste will be outfitted by their design partner for their performance
During the change of bands, while the DJ’s entertain the patrons with the hottest Soca for the season, dancers will sashay down short runways into ornately decorated gazebos, fabulously attired in avant gaurde couture stylings of designers.
The Soca Artisit:
Destra Garcia, Shurwayne Winchester, Bunji Garlin, Fay Ann Lyons, 2NTrigue and many more to be announced.
The Fashion Designers:
Meiling, Claudia Pegus, Heather Jones, Peter Elias, Sonia Mack, Ecliff Elie and Mill House.
I have always found Glow to be boring, the first year of the fete in 2001 the music to me was deliberately kept low key, though I loved David Rudder’s song “Glow” being played repeatedly kept the party very mellow. The following the fete was packed! That was even worse than being boring since I could barely move through Mobs 2. The novelty of wearing all white to fete has long since died with the many other versions of Glow that have spawned since its inception.
Now we have this attempt to resuscitate Glow, “yes your white kit is still essential", with a fashion show between performances. Though the concept is borrowed from MTV's Fashionably loud, it would be interesting to see how receptive the crowd is to this idea during the heights of Carnival feteing. Unfortunately I will not be there to see it in person, I think I will be wearing black that night!

Saucy, ah go bounce yuh up man. After not having been home early in the Carnival season in many years (ah does usually run away from work to fly in on Carnival Thurs or thereabouts), I am quite excited to make it there on the Tues a week before Carnival this year!!

interesting concept sauce! i assuming its all-inclusive? although dey ent mention it. Loads of artistes too....
What a pity!! I ent reaching till the following day...damn!
aye squeezle what parts of the costume you wearing on monday? im in Shangri-La blue. and also what shoes do u recommend wearing with that costume?
On Monday, just the bikini and waistband, which is what most people wear.
As for footwear, that really has to be a personal choice. I've worn sneakers many times, but for the past few years I went with boots (very low heel, about 1 inch) because I find that they give the costume a more finished look. If you go with sneakers, you can always spray them the match the costume, but most people don't bother.
Whaterver you decide, make sure they are well worn and very comfortable before Carnival. COMFORT IS ESSENTIAL so do whatever you need to do - gel insoles, padding, etc. - to make sure you won't be suffering on the road.
Saucy when is this?
This is on th eTuesday before Carnival Tuesday, the 13th of February.
