Edmonton played host to Carnival II this past long weekend, and while the event was watched closely by the media and the police, the rave ran smoothly. Indeed, there were more sights for fashion watchers than moral watchdogs at the event as a parade of partygoers danced the night away in a series of outlandish costumes that stood out from the usual rave garb of cargo pants and T-shirts. One big guy turned up in a gigantic red cowboy hat; he made a good match for the woman in an all-white cowgirl outfit. Another all-white outfit was spotted on Lady J of Sync and Lady J, who pumped out some fine drum and bass.
As for the headliner DJs at Carnival, a rather casual and worn-out-looking DJ Rap showed up in basic rave garb, her hair done up, looking much different from her glamorous promo shots and CD cover. This was a rigorously enforced 18-and-over event, and it was nice to see the absence of soothers and backpacks this time around.
