The festival dates back to the 18th century, and the influx of French Catholic planters – both white and free coloured – their slaves, and free blacks in the 1780s. The white and free coloured both staged elaborate masquerade balls at Christmas and as a “farewell to the flesh” before the Catholic Lenten season, with each group mimicking the other in their masking and entertainment. The West African slaves of these planters as well as free coloureds had their own masking traditions, and held festivities around the burning and harvesting of the sugar cane (this was known as cannes bruleés, anglicised as Canboulay or Camboulay). For each group, masks and mimicry were an essential part of the ritual. After the emancipation of slaves in 1838, Canboulay became a symbol of freedom and defiance. In response, the British colonial government outlawed drumming, stickfighting, masquerading, African-derived religions (like those of the Orisa faith and the Spiritual Shouter Baptists or Shango Baptists), and even tried to suppress the steelpan – but was never able to stamp out what has become a hallmark of Trinidadian identity. This masking and mimicry merged over time with the calinda – or stickfighting accompanied by chanting and drumming – and rituals of Canboulay to become a jamette – or underclass – masquerade. After many a battle with the British colonial government, who kept trying to ban drumming, masquerade, and even the steel pan– the festival eventually found a home on the Monday and Tuesday before Lent, and was adopted as a symbol of Trinidadian culture during the independence movement. Characters from the earliest Carnival include the pis-en-lit, who walks around in a nightgown waving a chamber pot, and the Dame Lorraine, a man in a dress with enormously stuffed bosom and bottom. Some of these traditions have endured, but most of them are fading fast, replaced by the beads and feathers of Brazilian-style costumes.

(If you want to go all the way…. do both sides)

When trying any of these styles at home remember to use thermal products to protect your hair from heated styling tools. Use lots of leave-in conditioner to maintain moisture in the hair.

Masqueraders, be sure to use products with UV blockers to ensure that your hair doesn’t dry out from prolonged sun exposure. Sunblock/protection for your hair is just as important as it is for your skin.

RED is the perfect attention-grabbing colour for the Carnival season,as well as year round! No other colour says ‘Look at me!’ more than red,

and who doesn’t want to be noticed during the most fashionable season ofthe Caribbean calendar? It’s also a great way to give a nod of

patriotism to the Land of Carnival! Red is best worn withcomplementary colours in green-to-blue hues.

Orangey reds work betterwith blues - think turquoise and even teal - whereas deeper red tonesare enhanced by the colour green. Grouping colour families together

also works well for colour coordination - red, orange and yellowprovides a fi ery look, whilst red, purple and blue is a lot more

elegant and sophisticated.

CARNIVAL BOOTSBY BOOTSBYAFROCHIC.COM

Tape off the areas you do not want to be sprayed, such as the sole or zip of the boot/sneaker.

Begin with a base coat to prep the surface of your footwear.This step is very important especially if you are at-tempting to change the colour of your footwear from a dark colour to a lighter colour.Wait about 15-30 minutes or until the paint feels dry to the touch.

Start with your next colour and use steady, overlap-ping strokes until the surface is covered to your liking - If you are using two or more colours wait for the spray paint to dry between colours.Your footwear may require one or more coats for full coverage.

You can apply a clear coat of spray to seal/protect your colours.

Add your embellishments: gems, braid, fringe, feath-ers, leg pieces etc.

Tips:Spray your footwear during the day in natural light, this allows you to see the colour properly and any missed spots.Before you start to spray, do a test spray on a vertical piece of board. If the paint drips it’s

not quite ready, so give the can of spray a few more shakes.Remember to avoid the nozzle getting clogged, turn the can upside down when you are finished to clear the nozzle.

Step 1Drink 12 glasses of water. Space the glasses out over a 12-hour period.

Step 2Consume a sports drink that contains electrolytes. Too much water when you are dehydrated can cause you to lose valuable electrolytes.

Step 3Include ginger ale to help you hydrate your body. Ginger helps to soothe an upset stomach while providing your body with the fluid it needs.

Step 4Drink a rehydration solution designed for sick children.

It begins with heat cramps, progress to heat exhaustion, and finally to heat stroke.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion include profuse sweating, weakness, and nausea, vomiting, head-ache, lightheadedness, and muscle cramps.

Heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke when the body’s temperature regulation fails. The affected individual develops a change in mental status, becomes confused, lethargic and may have a seizure, the skin stops sweating, and the body temperature may exceed

106 F (41 C ). This is a life-threatening condition and emergency medical attention is needed immediately.

Treatment for heat exhaustion includes:Recognizing the symptomsMoving to a cooler environmentRehydration with water or a sports drink is the cornerstone of treatment If nausea or vomiting prevents the affected individual from drinking enough water, intravenous fluids may be required.
