July and
August are the months in which the big Carnival bands in T&T show off their
costumes for the coming Carnival season. Trinbagonians wait with bated breath
to see which band has come up with the most creative and innovative way to
pretend their designs aren’t just bikinis and feathers. It’s a time when the
nation whets its appetite for the delights of Carnival that lie ahead; namely
indulging in wild fantasies, staggering down the road tipsy, and urinating in
public. Which also means it’s the perfect time for the nation’s trade unions to
hold a rally; which they did last Friday in Port of Spain.
