How soon do you pick up your costume?

The day you reach if it's at a decent time, next day or last minute with all the commotion?

I was about to accuse you of cutting it close, but men have an easier time with costumes...less to pick up and no accessories to worry about...

I know...that's why I saw a lot of men putting in costume orders and picking them up right before Carnival last year. Nice n' easy.

i'm not... If I was going again this year, i'd be in IP's Mirage... next year.... for TnT. If I'm able, I'm gonna try and hit CropOver in July.

excitement and mayhem...when I picked up my costume on Thursday night, two women nearly broke out in a fight over something stupid....you mus like fi live pon di edge.... I just wanted to grab my box, make sure all the pieces were in there and roll out....

I have fond memories from last year....that's why i would definitely do it again....

oh...if I was there this year...i'd be looking for you....fo real....:
