Toronto Caribbean Carnival (Caribana)

I have been to Toronto many times for many reasons, but my favorite reason for venturing to T-Dot is Toronto's Caribbean Carnival (better known as Caribana).  This year, I resolved to not only sit on the sidelines and watch the parade from behind a giant fence, but to don the revealing costume and play mas.

Dr. Jay's Return Fete in Toronto

I tried my best to resist the allure of yet another Dr. Jay fete in Toronto.  I told myself that I was not going to force myself to brave my fear of flying just to go to a party.  But then, the artists were announced.  The "Partier5 Star Akil, Miss "Bad Influence" herself Nadia Batson along with her baby sis JoJo of SASS, Chutney soca artist Ravi B., New York's own Lyrikal was going to lock it down with Groovy Soca Monarch Kerwin DuBois.  Arrgh!  Yep.  Looks like I had to take a shot of liquor and fly out to Toronto for "Return Fete."
