How much did you spend on your costume for 2k6? Do you think you will spend as much, more than , or less than for 2k7? Or do you just dont give a dam how much it is?


Last year i spent $600 for my Songbird costume I telll yuh carnival fever aint easy nah.
b4 i though it was worth it but when i got it, it wasnt wat i expected but hey, that carnival experience feeling-$Priceless.

All I know is that I was frontline again.

I spent about $650 and if I found a costume that I love like that again..I WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

i payed 335.00 for mines.. i think i would pay $450.00 the most for my next costume...

I spent $500.00 on Illusions front line, depending on how the costumes look that is when i will decide to pay more or less....

i paid $800 for my costume. Next year i don't think i will be spending that much. That was almost twice the price of my plane tickets.

the costume has to be knockout for me to pay for it regardless of price... then again i may set a budget (if i know what it is)

I spent $400, I think, on my Angelfish costume. I loved it and loved he experience. Definitely worth it. I am just waiting to see what the bands are talking about this year, but I think all the prices will be high.

$297 with Tribe..not counting my bodypaint. Still kind of expensive for men though...

LOL..that just reminded me of what you said on they road "If you ever see me talking about playing big mas shoot me" Mind you this was said with the wing in your hand

You can say that shyte again. NO BIG MAS for CHUN LI.

Every body spent more than $300 for costumes I'm sure but be prepared to spend even more for 2k7. Even though some bands are doing away with feathers which seemed to be the most costly part of the costume, costumes are going to be still quite expensive. My source told me that TRIBE 2K7 costumes are starting at about $500 and climbing. At the end of the day though, IT'S ALL WORTH IT lol

This is what I don't get - feathers and beads are being replaced with pieces of cloth yet the costumes are more expensive......these bands just overdoing it.

LOL...yeah bands used to give the excuse that feathers are expensive (which they are) but without them, let me see what excuses they go give now

This is why I joined Sou-Sou

HOLLARATION for de sou-sou.
