    I thought all the girls looked good. Lime girls big up ……..Monster girls large up and ASTAPHAN LADIES you looked good, you guys had fun and i think you made your company proud…….

    It is time we Dominicans stop hating on what is ours, if it was a foreign group we would appriciate and love them but because is Astaphan, Lime or Monster they weren’t good.

    What ever

    Oh and ladies don’t bring your personal problems into this hate cause it wasn’t good not because you don’t like the members of the band.

    best opening parade in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I must say congrats to the organizers for this years opening parade, this was much better than last year’s. The business places really came out and tried their best however i wish there could be much more colour since that’s what carnival is all about (colour, class and of course the coustumes). I think it was a very good effort. To those who critisise the members or ppl of the business places who came out to be part of the parade instead of critisising them contribute something that would make it more spectacular. Once again good effot.

    mr bully did a fine job,he has seen many talented dominicans do their thing at carnival.i remember when he was in his parents verandah watching the carnival BOSS. so he has some experience.carnival is nothing but an expression of LIMINALITY AND FUNTIONAL REDUNDACY. get educated dominicans its about time. carnival is nothing about money.i won every jour ouvert competition in DA and still waiting for my prize,but that did not deter me, i was there every year.alwyn you did a damn good job and u have to above the rest to get praises from me.

    to all the critics……..
    the overall parade was a good effort. The business houses did as best they can.
    The girls in the Astaphans float are Astaphans staff, not models, real people.
    Why is it that those of you who do not contribute are always so critical. With the state of the economy, I say hats off to Jollys, Lime, Astaphans, Best Buy, Scotia Bank, NBD, etc etc who participated.
    Instead of being proud of the girls/women for their contribution and the businesses, you folks are being so harshly critical. Do you know that’s exactly why some do not participate anymore, because no matter how hard they try, its blows. Come 15th and 16th Feb there will be many a young woman exposed to the max, will you be critical then…….?
    I shop at Astaphans often and know the young ladies as staff………..to the staff I say, ignore the ignorant.

    Just wanted to clarify thanks….. Enjoy carnival everyone am sure its going to be a good one

  22. am.. O.K! ..hmmm makes no sense
    January 24, 2010

    TO HMMMM(1) the psychic ……….. You are ridiculous and make no sense. Have u seen the dressing at carnival, the poom poom shorts? the pieces of cloth that is called clothes? Plz get real What the JOLLY’S and the ASTAPHANS girls had were nothing. The JOLLY’S were even better than the ASTAPHANS I saw nothing wrong with their dressing. They protrayed monster well. Yes lime could have dressed their girls better. But bear in mind if you are going to say a thing like they are killing carnival do not be hypocrite take a look around there were WORST dressed ppl, dont even talk about Jouvert morning.
    Be real!!!

    To Wow and others all you Dominicans worth is to criticize people , No wonder so many of you are so dam backwards and will never get anywhere .

    If the Astaphans and lime ladies comfortable in their skin , Why make it and issue or your business .

  26. Hold dem
    January 24, 2010

    could the lime girls outfit be any more Boring? Astaphans seriously, wtf? jolly’s made a half hearted attempt but still blah. Love love love the Klubirds costume, and NBD flagwavers always on point.I must say that the opening was great. way to go for CK, hold dem!!

  27. January 24, 2010

    All of these women were dressed good keeping in mind that we celebrating CARNIVAL. During Carnival less is more and sexy. We need to realise that it is time to free up and fete and put all troubles and stress behind us and just party. The sexy ladies in particular (Klubird, Astaphans, Monster & LIME models) made the parade very interesting Trust Me!!!

    JR lets give Jack his Jacket. Hats off the Road Parade Committee, Mr. Bully is the Chairman of Carnival. The parade was organised by the Road Parade Committee mandated to organise the event. We must learn to give the Road Parade Committee their flowers – they organised the parade.

    Hats off to the Chairman and members of the Road Parade Committee, Queen Show Committee, Val Cuffy and the DFC for a job well done.

    We must check our facts before putting the cart before the horse. Thanks

  33. WOW

    January 24, 2010

    where is the comment that was there going hard on the astaphans band? it was quite harsh but n e way that person was rite DNO y i remove it? lol *big people do need to cover up themselves nicely cuse its unpleasant site to see them all out like that and dont even look good… :s they can tke full part in carnival without exposing themselves like that and the hair lol at the end of the day its they who get remembered and pointed at and not for any good reason either

  35. HMMMM(1) the psychic
    January 24, 2010

    Honestly ASTAPHANS , JOLLY’S AND LIME really need to come better than that. Don’t kill carnival slowly. Please learn from the KLUBIRDS. They look so classy and elegant.
    LOL look at the Astaphans group in particular, they look like some drawing a preschool child (3 yr old) coloured.

  36. lol
    January 24, 2010

    Hearts up especially to Mr Alwin Bully. I must say that this year’s opening was the best Dominica had in a long time. The parade was well organised, alot of colours, many bands. It was really great. I am happy I could witness this year’s opening. GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS.

  38. January 24, 2010

    big up to LIME DOMINICA , COC, for such a grand opening to DNO for all the pics my only disappointment was that our main BEER KUBULI was left at the back of the parade. did u all save the best for last? any way this year was much greater than last year!
