this week is suppose to represent caribbean heritage NOT just trinidad...
trinidad is NOT the only island that represents mas

That isn't even the point. We received the questions there were changes. She was prepared and froze and the rep that spoke is a Born Trinbagonian. Once again Exotica was gracious for the opportunity, and the costumes looked stunning. We can't wait to see you at Secrets 20 in advance more at the doors. See you there

the leaders of EXOTICA represent st vincent, barbados and grenada, NOT trinidad
Oh ok. I'd love to see the whole week's segments, anyone have a link? Its a shame that such an opportunity couldn't have been taken full advantage of; maybe whoever is in charge should have picked someone more experienced/comfortable w/ public speaking to be interviewed?

Anyway, glad you guys at least got good promotion for the band and its costumes. I was just curious as to which islands Exotica is representing.

This young lady is well educated and she does have public speaking experience, unexpected things happen and she froze such is life it happens to the best of us. She rehearsed right before and she just froze on the spot. Thanks for the support and hope to see you tomorrow night at Secrets for the band launching

Umm, I think the assumption has already been made that you were implying anything about carnival and mas has to be about Trinidad..it will only get worse..just back away from the thread slowly

I'm sorry I asked for that link. The costumes look lovely yes but that is the only thing good about that video. I want to strangle that girl "the carnival itself..that is basically what Trinidad is about"? WDAAAAAASSSS I just got a headache I got so mad!

I'm glad Exotica got the promotion but since the segment was about Trinidad it should have been Sesame or someone that represented. Those old folks at Sesame would have made sure that went smoothly. If I knew nothing of Trinidad after watching this video I would be sure Trinidad was about airhead chicks that can shake their tails in pretty costumes.
