To say that the Antilia.com party was a success would be an understatement. It was a blast! The models were exotic and clad in huge feather headpieces with beaded thongs, all Carnival costumes that you can see when you visit Trinidad and Tobago's carnival in February 2010. The male models looked exceptionally good and strong. I did manage to get a hug from Tyson (the highlight of my night) as well as a great interview, which you can see at www.youtube.com/bornkool.
Wendy Fitzwilliam, Miss Universe 1998 of Trinidad and Tobago, is a beautiful woman inside and out. She is full of grace, beauty and charm. Simon Khan, the CEO of Antilia, deserves all kudos for hosting this exciting, thrilling party at The Tribeca Rooftop, downtown Manhattan.
Machel Montano, pulsated the crowd with an energetic performance, as only Machel, the young soca king of the world, can deliver. Malik Yoruba was at the party looking tall, dark and handsome in a well tailored pinstriped suit. I got a hug from him too! Lots of models from Make Me A Model and America's Next Top Model strutted on the runway to the beat of pulsing calypso music. "Moko Jumbies" (men on high stilts) delighted the crowd with their spectacular dances standing at least 14 feet in the air and dancing to the Tassa drummers that were on stage. There was a steelpan soloist who added to the authentic feel of this T& T Carnival pre-launch. Delicious 'doubles', a Trinidadian delicacy was served all night, garnished with 'chutney'. There was a young man serving coconut water, straight from the coconut tree, he used a small machete to open the nut and put a straw in it for you. For those who did not like the fresh nuts, there was coconut water in little cartoons. Two free free bars, beautiful views of Manhattan and the bridges plus a beautiful piano and decor added to the thrills, the ambiance and made this event extremely enjoyable to all.
