    Romans 13:12-14

    The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
    Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
    But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

    This is amazing! Truly amazing how the enemy is busy at work with every one of you on these sites, who are just constantly lashing out at each other over “reveling” “worldly” CRAP. To the young women competing and to every blogger here arguing, and even the LIME models, I share this……

    The Holy Bible, 1Corinthians 6:19 – 20 says,
    What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

    Our Bodies are God’s Temple. It was created by Him, “FOR” Him! So we, both men and women should take care of our bodies.

    And Lastly Romans 12:18 says,
    If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

    (remember the Bible said it, not me. I’m just the servant)

    Constructive criticism or so can be made without being verbally abusive. And also everyone has the right to their own opinion.

    (Oh and be very wise in your answers because, The Lord is my “Shield” and more…)

    Comments anyone 8 ) ????????????

    Why can’t we just make a point without insulting, cursing and swearing and getting personal with eachother.

    We must agree to disagree. We as a people believe that we must chopp off eah other, call them hypocrite, or make remarks “like they are on thier high horse want to look down on others’, calling each other jealousy. it is time we stop all that evil ways in us. We must make our point or give or ideas and suggestions without trying to put someone in their place, or so we think we can put someone in their place. Let us send our message without giving someone thier whole maapprwe(tell them their whole life story even though we know or don;t know them).

    Anyway i wish all dominicans all the best for the new year which has already begin and hope that we as a nation can move forward with a more human respect and dignity for each other. Remember Haitians in our prays.

  19. LIME GIRLS ISSUE
    January 28, 2010

    my problem with the lime giirls outfil is that it is boring.
    LIME being the major sponsor of carnival could have come better than that.
    it wouldn’t have hurt dem to make it a little more costume-ish
    a little gltter, a lttle color or something….

    i guess that is why some people think their outfit is indecent,
    it dont look like carnival, it looks like beach

    We

    It should not matter whether the LIME girls dress like that during carnival or church. does the time of day or year makes it right or wrong. If they are dress inappropriately during carnival or during summer. It is inappropriate, and it is inappropriate. We should have respect year round for our bodies not only when we go to church.

    The question is it is carnival and where do we draw the line. Or do we draw any line at all. Next year when they decided to go more naked, and 2012 they go more naked, and 2013
    more naked when do we stop. Eventually we willbe walking naked within the next few years. Nothing wrong with their shorts, but maybe a little light coverup would do.

    It was a wonderful opening.
    And Mouth of La Pointe, why don’t you start at dressing up your own home and backyard appropriately first. You forget where you from nur? It doesnt even be carnival and allu does have much more exposed and doing. Ah? Or you just simply hating on our beautiful lime girls for whatever reason. And yes we do love and respect them just as they are. Stop being Hypocrites!

    Mouth of La pointe….umm I haven’t been in da for carnival in a while but as far as I remember dem la pointe performing groups are always the most scandalously clad. You never see them la pointe flag wavers and those lil kids ages 4-6 whining down in short skirt and tops above their belly buttons? Please stop acting fresh

    But the LIME girls were not naked. So what is the stress?

    Dominica to full of self righteous and “holier than thou” people who are ready and quick to condemn those who don’t behave or think like them.

    Clothes does not maketh a person. Maybe the girls wearing these outfits live a better moral life than those watching on the sideline fully covered up and acting like the Virgin Mary. Lots of them hide behind their clothes but in their hearts they are dark as hell itself.

    As long as these girls are not prostituting themselves or making a fool of their bodies, what is the problem?

    Free up the mass I was waiting for someone with no moral values and low minded to criticize my statement. Am not bothered what you say I will stick to my statement and you just have to respect it. Well is carnival so walk naked on the road. It is plain to see we have little morals left in this country. Is people like you that will walk half naked during carnival then months latter join a religion with long skirt etc and say carnival bad, carnival evil. I love carnival and I take part in it but in a modest manner. We need to stop being double standard in this country. Not because it is carnival we have to break loose and forget our Christian values etc Carnival is just two days. We like to say is carnival so we can do what we want then after carnival we sing another tune because we ashame of our actions. Is people like you that making the other religions say that carnival is evil and bad. The lime girls could have that same outfit but in a more descent manner. Its about time our Dominican girls show respect for their bodies. When a lady dresses she must always leave room for a man to visualize what’s beyond but no you ladies show off everything. Well as you say is carnival so hope you walk naked on the road and when a guy approaches you and disrespects you hope when he responds is carnival so I breaking loose you don’t get mad. You must learn that when someone gives their opinion to think before you criticize and if needs be to make a comment please do it constructively stop acting like u have a chip on ur shoulder your darn F**l. Go head vent am waiting lol lol

    Kristelle have enough crown… she should let someone else have a chance…. Go Shama……. and corlette ambo is my miss teen…. CHS takin it again cuz we hot like dat.

    January 26, 2010

    SHAMA surprise them!!!……. they did wat they had to do so Amy wouldnt look like the (coughcough) that didnt win any regional crown…

    if they were just simply fair, everyone saw that night that Amy was stricly consecutive and competitive and did deserve that crown.
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    well i wish you all good luck but i will be rooting for shama the most…. seem some of you didnt hear how she spoke at the opening and at their launching and how she looked in those photos. take a hint**

    even if the south havnt won the crown over a number of years now… ya’ll been giving us 1st runners up and second runners up for particular years where our representative deserved it. one day the moon will shine brightly on the real winner one of these good years……
    but even if im not happy at the fact that the young lady that was crowned queen last year and that she could not capture not a single crown regionally, i hope ya’ll saw the mistake ya’ll made in points because clearly her speaking portion did not seem fit for a carnival queen and she needed to work on that.. look at this year…. lets see what is going to happen.
    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    over the past years i saw true carnival queens … leandra lander (my favorite – her attitude and personality is not a lie she showed her true image on and off stage, loved her to the brim), marrah walter, kamala jno baptiste, nakita bruno, kemani felicite, gezel francis, marcela laroque, dana roberts and samantha (now letang)….these ladies were really queen like materials and there are others that i can’t remember right now cause im an 80’s baby.

    i hope this 2010 carnival queen will be a real good one and be extraordinary

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

    Bondiere, one thing I don’t understand about Dominicans is why they are so quick to use the word HYPOCRITE whenever someone gives his/her opinion about something. It’s either we agree or disagree about something but there is no need for us to be so ready to chop people off man. I for sure would not dress like the girls who represent LIME. I do not like the outfit and I think I have a right to say so. I’m woman and I love and cherish my body. I don’t have to use carnival as an excuse to prove a point… AMEN!!!!!
    LOL… I’m waiting to be chopped off

  38. January 25, 2010

    Canival will be hot I can tell by the beautiful ladies vying for the crown I do wish all the ladies the best but ladies remember u are all winners already, and the princeses are coming right behind good luck to everyone just go out there and big up DOMINICA I am proud of u all. As for the comments about the Lime girls nothing was wrong with how they were dressed it is Canival it’s a shame that we as DOMINICANS cannot see beyond our noses, let the young people be stop trying to dictate to them how they should dress or behave when as adults we haven been behaving any better perhaps even wosrt, I am sick of how we keep putting down the young people we were all young once yet we have so much to say we so d.- – -.m hyopcrite. I wish everyone an enjoyable Canival Season hope to be seeing a lot more pictures of the festival.

    but Mouth of Point Mitchel is carnival what you want them to wear the priest gown? you jalou dem girls body? I find all you too hypochrite in Dominica is not as if those girls running around in that day and night, is a costume. Carnival is time to let loose, live and let live, better yet close your eyes. Dominicans always have something to say about people. Is their choice, they feeling young and sexy and have body for the outfit let them be. Too much pride and dignity when all you hiding behind computer

    Is not underage children that there, big women let them people do their do and check your sin. Is not those that in the out fit that worst karmem. They are accountable for themselves stop taking people joy and make all you sorrow. Stay in your world of perfection.

    give them all a wob dwiyet if it burning you so much, about you back broad, you know what that expression mean by the way with all your pride and dignity? steupes

    As a young woman with pride and dignity I find that the lime girls could have been a little more modest in their dressing. Yes am awaiting for some tongue lashing but I aint mind my back is broad and thats my opinion. Even if is Carnival we must still respect our bodies. Those young men love to see it but hey ladies they dont want their ladies to dress so.
