There is going to come a time when this story is told as a Carnival Urban Legend; "did you hear about the girl who played mas with a break foot, in a cast and was wining on one crutch in the band?"
Of course the real story does not involve a cast or crutch but it did involve a broken foot and a very dedicated masquerader! The story as told to me goes like this; early Carnival Monday morning while trying to retrieve her costume from a top shelf this masquerader landed badly and ultimately broke her foot as seen in the X Ray below:
actual pic of actual x ray of actual broken foot!
No, that X Ray was not taken on Carnival Monday OR Tuesday but after Carnival . After our masquerader unparalleled palanced ALL day Carnival Monday and Tuesday with NO CAST on that broken foot! And no, she was not wearing slippers, she wore BOOTS too!
So today we salute you, anonymous Threads of Morocco masquerader, for your embodiment of the Carnival Baby Spirit. We salute your unfailing dedication to your mas. We salute Mr Johnny Walker for being your friend and support. And most of all we salute the fact that you represented your fellow B.A.B.E.S (costume was always on point!) even if you did it in pain!

BIGUPS TO YOU MYSTERY MASQUERADER!!! I would have done the same, then go to work and pretend I got injured ON THE JOB to get some sick time off work when I got back home from the carnival!!! LMAO!!!!!
You win it though, hands down!!!!
crossin the "savannah stage/judging point" my foot got "palanced" on by a rather healthy male loulan-er(lol) and i was more than ready to go home.....and would have if it wasnt for the fact that the car was rel far from the lunch spot :S
by the time lunch was over my foot was swollen an my boots felt like torture so i had to switch shoes with a friend. kudos ( and a damn handshake!!!!!) to this carnival baby for playin mas with the broken foot...she has rel belly...and might be a lil out of her mind lol
Dis is not commitment, that's madness!
She probably didnt realise it was broken, she probably thought it was just a bad bruise... (smh)
Mystery Masquerader loves her Carnival. Standing ovation to you chick...and props to Uncle Johnnie for his supporting role in this drama.
