This topic is not Pan related but I think there is no harm in pan people having an opinion on what going on around us.
I sure most of you saw the pics of the 2 ladies costume on fb from Crop-over last week, I would like to ask this question, what does a parent of a young person 8-9-10-11say to them after watching them pass by?
Yes we spoke about this after carnival in T&T and yes I'll talk about it again if I happen to see it in NY
I know we have the freedom to do what we want but come on, partially nude women parading themselves is a bit too much.
We must not let the actions of a few determine the direction of many. [in this case]

Could we also have a discussion about 'auto-tuning', which is to the art of music what the ' two yards of floss' is to the art of costuming?
Lillian Sten,
This is one of the things I like about this forum, anything you want to talk about you are free to post, why not start your own thread?
Cecil, it seems to me, that the two topics are in fact one: it's about the systematic and continuing destruction of the very soul of Mas. In the interest of…... ?
It is said that Culture is Evolving, what I see is less steelbands on the road for carnival, women taking two yards of dental floss and making a costume, calling it mas. This is as good a time as any for us to wake-up and look at where we are going. The last time I looked carnival was for the whole family.
There is no mystery to this cultural implosion. The global impact of the internet and the availability of all forms of digital technology everywhere has affected (mostly negatively) the morals and values of almost everyone on the planet. Consider that today any child with a smart gadget, anywhere, can access hardcore pornography or violence. Now we talking T&T one of the most committed consumer societies on the planet. What you expect?
We have an opportunity to outlaw nudity on the streets carnival days in T&T, the big question is what are we going to do about it.
It is the duty of "The Powers that Be" to protect it's citizens from public nudity, the same way they do when a performer uses obscene language in a show.
What's wrong with maintaining a high standard of morality.
When wise people remain silent we all end up living by standards set by fools.
Winston, he gets the job done and that's what matters to people, smoking crack and checking out the hoes is his business.
Hey Gons, I have the world of respect for all you guys, even when we disagree. Just letting you know. Cecil, I just heard a quote which says " Everything is changing, people now take comedians seriously, and politicians for a joke".Whey yuh tink?
