Hellooo...

Hello there...

Just to prove I am still alive, for those of you who say, "Well, I haven't heard a PEEP outta you, girl!" By now, everyone should have the blog address.




Nothing much going on in Trinidad right now, except everyone is talking about the boldest display of Carnival, where artist Peter Minshall designed a huge, um, phallus, and there was a huge, rainbow-colored..um...prophylactic device rolled over it. The "phallus" was 20 ft tall. No really good pics have hit the net yet, but here is one that I did find.



The "prophylactic device" is to the left in the pic, and the "phallus" is the thing they are carrying up to it, so they can roll it over. The song playing during the ceremony was by a major Soca songstress here, Alison Hinds, "Roll It, Girl". How appropriate is that?

Yeah, there were all kinds of pictures in the paper, too. I mean pictures where you could see the whole thing, not just the..um..base. :) These people have no concept of modesty or shame. haha


Trini is going to the World Cup (soccer, for those of you who have no clue). Check out this website, it sort of captures the spirit these folks have for their soccer team. Don't skip the intro or you will miss probably the biggest soca song in Trinidad for the year. :) Also note that they do have a token white guy on the team. Everybody, now, root for T&T in the World Cup! (if any of you keep up with it...I only know a few of you who give a crap about soccer at all...) But if they win by some miracle, Trinidad and Tobago will shut down for like a week, and maybe I can get a quick trip home out of the deal. haha

But anyway, check it out.
