"I think that everybody should be able to have the Carnival that they want. That’s what I want for Carnival, for all of us."—Elisha Bartels
One of the biggest criticisms of the modern T&T Carnival has been the popularity of the bikini and beads type of mas. It has been called vulgar, unimaginative, and a sure sign of the degradation of the national festival.

These mas producers seem to forget that the road is for the"GENERAL" public, there are kids looking on at their X rated mas. Then there's the behavior that comes with it, pure decadence. People in authority has to look at the direction we are heading and do some serious soul searching...
