It is possibly the safest section to play mas in this Carnival. “Retro Sailors,” designed and produced by Maxine Richards, Vindra Sooklal and Peer Pressure Too for Poison’s Retromania, is also the section in which President George Maxwell Richards and his wife, Dr Jean Ramjohn-Richards, are playing mas.

Maxine, of course, is the President’s daughter, so, with the other dignitaries playing in this section as well, one can expect “Retro Sailors” to also have a heavy presence of cops and military personnel.

Between going to work every day, and trying to keep up with Carnival fetes, Maxine and Vindra burn the midnight oil making costumes at their Park Street camp in Port-of-Spain.

“Since launching the section at Battimamzelle Restaurant in December, we’ve had a steady flow of people registering to play with us. Our section is complimentary to Poison’s Retromania theme, as we are presenting traditional fancy sailor mas with a modern, sexy flair,” Maxine said recently.

“Our costumes, like the real mccoy, are heavily worked with rhinestones, braiding, feathers and swansdown.

“We are also intent on holding on to our masqueraders, so we are leaving no stone unturned to make sure they have a memorable and enjoyable time with us on Carnival Monday and Tuesday. We are offering breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout both days, and of course, premium liquor,” she added.

“About safety, for obvious reasons, in addition to Poison’s regular security, our section will have additional security personnel, guaranteeing the comfort of each and every masquerader in ‘Retro Sailors’.”

Vindra interjected, adding that all costumes are being custom-made “to suit the individual requirements of every masquerader.”

“Some have chosen to wear their shorts very short, with the side of legs revealed, while others prefer to have legs covered,” she said. The section also has skirted costumes.

Maxine said the section will have an advanced “exclusive” section as well, with a more elaborate costume, going at the price of $2,800.

She added: “For the muscle men, we also have a special costume in store for them as well.”
