Hello, Fashion Insomniacs!

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending one of the year's hottest parties, hosted by Antilia, a Caribbean entertainment brand that specializes in the promotion of Caribbean culture, entertainment and tourism. The affair took place at the incredible Tribeca Rooftop, an amazing space that takes up two full floors of an office building.

The event was held to promote Antilia’s new Carnival 2010 travel package for travel to Trinidad to celebrate Carnival. World renowned supermodel Tyson Beckford played host for the night along side the lovely Wendy Fitzwilliam, a former Miss Trinidad and Tobago and Miss Universe winner.  

Throughout the evening, there were previews of Carnival band costumes from Spice and Island People Mas (trés sexy). The models looked like beautiful birds from paradise. Some were recognizable faces from the hit show America’s Next Top Model, like: Aminat Ayinde (cycle 12) Sheena (cycle 11), and Nik (cycle 5). One of the models from Make Me A Supermodel and Trinidad's own, Sandburst also ripped the runway. The pièce de résistance of the night was the best Soca artist ever--Machel Montano! He rocked the house with both his newer and older hits. Let’s just say, I was danced the night away (good times).

And ff the Antilia travel package is anything like what I experienced at the party, then travelers are in for a real treat! I totally recommend that you and your friends take advantage of this great offer.

The official package includes: round-trip flights to Trinidad, hotel accommodations, airport transfers and ground transportation, carnival costume and two-day, all-inclusive masquerade experience, J’Ouvert experience, VIP fete tickets for Trini Posse on Saturday and Brian Lara Fete on Sunday, concierge service, costume delivery, and tailoring service.
