At the Traditional Mas in St.James, Trinidad, West Indies, the Carnival competition began with the tribute of two masqueraders who had died in 2007, one of whom was Gilbert Defreitas, a.k.a. Popeye on roller skates. Every year it seems, the few individuals who keep the traditions of Old Mas alive are becoming less visible. There were four Fancy Sailors on show, yet their enthusiasm and attention to the sailor dance brought a nostalgia, if not taught to the younger masqueraders, the art may be perished as well. How come no sailor has come up with a costume tarred with beads and plumes of feathers.The video begins with Popeye at last year's event and continues with the classic Fancy Sailor dance.

    • Is Trinidad Safe News: Dog: Man's Best Friend Or A Delicacy?
    If one is desperate to eat so that they are able to survive they will eat a dog, cat or even a dead human. Many who have done this are not always proud of the fact that they ate another person but they will tell you they did what they had to to survive.

    The fact that there are places in this world that eat dog does not mean that they are wrong. If you grew up knowingly eating dog you would think it is as normal as those that eat goat, sheep or cows. For us to say it is wrong to eat dog means we did not grow up eating dog. This however does not mean we are correct and they are wrong for doing it does it?     [See Similar Topics]
