It's not every day that a mas band or its band leader and designer lets the public see the
designs of its King or Queen of the band. Some bands and their designers keep such designs top secret, a tradition that goes back beyond carnival competitions. Usually we (
the general public) don't see the mas until its on the Savannah Stage during competition or on the road on carnival Monday and Tuesday.
This is not the case with Strictly Alternative Mas: (S.A. M.)
Last Thursday designer
Darren X Cheewah made public the design on the King of their Trinidad Carnival 2012 presentation 'X' on their
face book group page. The 'King Sailor' design reveals a massive skull with the iconic sailor cap and a massive red cape with numerous flags with various designs on them. While the design does not give details on the materials being used or the dimensions of the mas, a lot of movement and '
play' can be expected from this King of X.

This design follows the release of
individuals and section leaders that were posted 3 months ago on fb and those of the
sections that were released after the band launch. I wonder what the Queen of X will look like...
