a dentist and a huge fan of carnival this year. a very special challenge lies ahead for the 1st time. she's a carnival queen in carnival. the queen's dress plays a central role. it has to be unusual, respect to traditions and have a theme for somebody who is carnival is fun, but it's also culture and tradition. i'm interested in social equality. having a balance between the winners and losers, best this dresses, catalina's design. it requires a lot of fabric. and much like the responsibility of being queen it's weight. things. my dress has a metal base. the costume represents the balance between rich and poor.

colossal. this. but it also has to be a big, sexy yes. of course. there's this part open with pearls. the more beautiful the dress, the better or has a dentist contract. tina earns good money. the dress will cost around $300.00 euros . being a queen requires a lot of investment um, dina has a sewing studio in one of the port or districts of the city. it's also cloudy as neighborhood, far from the beach closer to the mountains for weeks before carnival,

it's all systems go here. dina enter, seamstresses have their hands for making costumes for carnival. teen is stressed. most carnival costumes are fairly standard so they don't cost much the queen stress is a big exception. and so the stress is a job for the boss that dina and this is how it should look the yeah know, put into the into the truck. can it be done in time for carnival? see yes, yes. as hard or easy. hard does it blow queen li

nbcc? yes, yes. the um the the circumference of the extravagant dress is recorded on the floor. dina isn't thrilled. she's under a lot of time pressure. every one is relaxed except her. steve. it's always the same because everything comes at the last moment just before a carnival, and i only have 4 weeks. the 3 weeks later, there's not much to show yet. first they try out a model. an employee serves as a substitute queen the

we will there be enough time before carnival more or less the time is running out for new though to use red suit and matching red hat still have to be made for carnival. the band leaders outfit society a able to is on the present in new knows workshop. there was no money for drums or costumes. they create everything themselves, including the music at the kill full. so he lived there and then going to

somebody else may i try one, a cloudy. i can't afford. i'm a settled guitars, but there's no harm dreaming activity if i can pay the one for i think the guitar she has is no longer adequate for so do you agree? i don't enjoy it. for my kind of music. one of your guitars would be great for a brief time, she gets to hold a really good instrument. it costs around $600.00 curos, far too expensive for cloudy, and she'll be sticking with the old guitar for now. the
