FANTAZIA, SUGACAYNE LAST TWO MAS BANDS TO LAUNCH IN 2023 - TORONTO

 Wow and Boo Hoo. It's all over until next year! We already miss them!


The last two mas band costume launches for this summer's Toronto Caribbean Carnival
took place over the weekend. 
Fantazia launched on Saturday at the Eve Event Space on Northwest Drive in Mississauga, while SugaCayne had their launch on Sunday at their headquarters located at 150 Yorkland Blvd in Toronto. 
Take our word for it; many sexy outfits were showcased on stage, and a significant number of costumes were sold.
Prior to the start of the evening show, Fantazia Carnival, led by Will and Lisa Morton, informed the audience that they were about to witness a world of the unexpected, where "Odds and Oddities" come to life! As these pictures demonstrate, the costumes showcased “the curious trinkets of life's grand bazaar”.
Similar to what fans have seen with other mas camps' offerings, the women's costumes
were engineering feats, strategically hiding naughty parts with minimal material.

What made the Fantazia sections unique was the incorporation of rich colours with
splashes of bright colour on the feather tips at the top and bottom of the models'
wings. Several front-line costumes boast full sizedneck bands adorned with sparking jewels and mirror lending the outfits a majestic look.

. . Sublimnos No Longer Out Of Sight … And Definitely Not Out of Mind By Stephen Weir It will take a long long time for a piece of Canadian dive history to rust into dust. Given the hard feelings surrounding the historic Sublimnos Project, the deteriorating, remains of that underwater habitat could well be an above-water Lake Ontario eyesore for years until rust indeed becomes dust. Back in the summer of 1969 Sublimnos was set down in the waters of Georgian Bay near Tobermory, Ontario the self-described "fresh water scuba diving capital of the world" .It was a bargain basement underwater research station. Constructed from a railroad tanker for just $10,000.00, Sublimnos became Canada’s first subsurface research laboratory. From 1969 to 1971 the Sublimnos project, funded and spearhead by physician, author, explorer and frequent Diver Magazine contributor Dr. Joe McInnis, was headline news around the world. Built to accommodate up to four divers at a time, in its first two-ye...

Experienced Scuba Divers. Ornithologists because of the birds. The largest colony of Red Footed Boobies in the Caribbean is found on Little Cayman's Booby Pond. Scuba Divers go there because of the sheer wall of coral found in the island's underwater preserve, just north of the island. My wife and I returned from Little Cayman Island on Sunday.  We weren't there for the birds. Flamingo is the logo for dive haven Bonaire. We spent most of our week on a couple of dive boats.
