Forgettable carnival costumes

A reveler in one of the Cricket Carnival costumes. (Pic taken from Cricket Carnival Facebook page)

The costumes from Guyana Carnival reminded me of the handbags from the diffusion line of Michael Kors. Bland and overpriced with a dash of elementary level aesthetics. From the sequin-styled leg accessories to wired bras that appear be the only known Carnival costume idea year after year, to the party-like streamers hopelessly dangling, to the men jumping around in colourful swim trunks, it all felt like a lazy copy and paste effort to bolster Guyana as a carnival destination.
