Throwback Tuesday



Since I went to my first carnival fete in Jamaica for 2011 over the weekend, I'm definitely in the mood for some good, classic soca. Now, the perfect choice would naturally be the song that got me hooked on soca music and carnival in the first place: "Faluma". This is one of Square One's biggest (if not the biggest) hits, and was sung by the lovely (and bootylicious) Alison Hinds.






Of course after coming back home from college, I knew nothing about soca -- having not been much of a fan while growing up. Somehow when I heard this song at my very first "Mas Camp", it struck a chord in my soul, and the "Socamotive" was born! - QBF



PS: Faluma was originally a song from Suriname, and you can check out the original version below.

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
