Question: The costume Pina Pacific: The belt of the costume, only the front is decorated and the back is plain, no decoration whatsoever? Is the costume completed or not?

If any theme was made for the bikini mas it is the Hawaiian theme, the costumes seemed to have been all designed of the (commercially traditional?) HULA HULA costume.
The use of flower print straw hats etc may simplify the people’s culture, but say what, is a fun band nothing serious is.
I do like the work on the men’s costumes like PINA PACIFIC and MAUI, I think they do support the theme , once again the use of that straw looking material does echo throughout the sections in an attempt to link the sections to that Hawaiian theme.
Overall I give it a thumbs up no its not a blinged out glossy fest like the other bands but looking at Saucy’s coverage I think they have succeeded in doing what they said on the label.

Oncce again Saucy Keep up the great work!!

p luau looks the most appeling to me.

otherwise, i hope they have recession prices to match these recession costumes.

Well this is back to the future. This is exactly were Poison started; then they became MASSIVE with their franchise.

On a totally different note, I just saw a video of Lady Gaga's VMA performance of Paparazzi (I love it), and I swear I saw a bikini ART mas band name Paparazzi! It will work; pure theatrics on the street of Port-of-Spain.

I honestly thought pulse8 was going to be an option for 2k10 but not with these primary school costumes.

I felt that the costumes looked very amateur for a band that is now three years old.

But I hope the prices reflect the product, because my choice is the brown sequnied creation.

I am not impressed at all. I think these costumes look as though someone ordered from a catalog and then came up with a band name for 2010. I dunno but how much thought really went into this?
