Kimono and Chaos: St. Thomas Man’s J’ouvert Performance Goes Viral

St. Thomas revelers were treated to an unforgettable spectacle at this year’s J’ouvert celebrations, courtesy of local legend Duncan, better known in party circles as “Captain Whiskey K.” Draped in his signature kimono over a classic white wife-beater, Duncan took to the streets with a bottle of rum in hand, proving once again that the island’s most unpredictable performer never disappoints.

The Rise of Captain Whiskey K

Known for his wild antics and unshakable love for soca music, Duncan’s transformation into Captain Whiskey K is as much a J’ouvert tradition as paint, powder, and parades. According to witnesses, the transformation into Captain According to witnesses, the transformation into Captain Whiskey K was complete the moment Duncan raised his rum bottle high and declared, ‘Rum buddies for life!’ From then on, it was clear he was ready to take charge of the J’ouvert celebrations.

Leaning Into Trouble

The Captain’s signature move—leaning at an impossible angle while attempting to dance and walk simultaneously—became the talk of the event. “It was like he was testing the limits of his own balance, and losing,” said one amused bystander. “But he never spilled a drop of rum, so I guess that’s impressive in its own way.”

Duncan’s tipsy swagger was accompanied by impromptu inspections for what he affectionately calls “bumpa violations,” earning him both laughs and the occasional playful scolding from fellow revelers.

Reactions From the Crowd

Social media lit up with videos of Captain Whiskey K’s exploits, with hashtags like #KimonoKing and #CaptainLeansalot trending locally. One viral clip shows him passionately explaining to a confused tourist that his kimono isn’t just fashion—it’s “a lifestyle choice.”

“He’s like a J’ouvert superhero,” said one fan. “But instead of saving people, he just makes us laugh until our stomachs hurt.”

The Captain’s Legacy

As the sun rose and J’ouvert wound down, Duncan—still leaning—delivered one final toast to his fellow rum buddies before disappearing into the crowd like a true island enigma. Rumor has it, plans are already underway for Captain Whiskey K to launch a line of party kimonos in time for next year’s festivities.

When asked about his next adventure, Duncan simply declared, “Where there’s rum and soca, you’ll find the Captain.”

Local Man Stirs Controversy After Naming Carmex as Playa del Carmen’s ‘Best Mexican Import

Playa del Carmen, Mexico—In a move that has left both locals and expats scratching their heads, Ft. Worth native Joe Cain sparked a heated debate at Dirty Martini Lounge after boldly declaring that Carmex lip balm is the “best Mexican import,” outranking tequila, tacos, and even mariachi music.

Witnesses at the bar say the controversial statement came after Joe applied his beloved Carmex in between sips of his signature dirty martini. “I don’t know what came over me,” Joe admitted in an interview. “I was just looking around the bar, seeing people with their margaritas and salsa, and thought to myself—none of that matters if your lips are cracked. Carmex is the real MVP.”

The Fallout

The reaction was swift and divided. “I thought he was joking at first,” said Carlos Ortiz, a local regular. “But then he doubled down. He actually said, ‘I’d take a jar of Carmex over a bottle of Don Julio any day.’ That’s when the bar erupted.”

Some patrons laughed off Joe’s comment as the ramblings of a lightweight drinker. Others took it as a personal insult. “He’s half-Mexican, for crying out loud!” said one exasperated bar-goer. “How does he not know that tequila is sacred?”

Even the bartenders joined the debate, jokingly offering Joe a “Carmex Margarita” as a peace offering. “It’s not a bad idea,” Joe later said, completely serious. “We could rim the glass with it.”

A Viral Moment

As the argument reached its peak, someone filmed Joe passionately defending his claim, shouting, “Without Carmex, half the tourists in Playa would have sunburned lips. I’m just stating facts!” The video has since gone viral on TikTok, with the hashtag #CarmexKing racking up thousands of views.

Opinions in the comments are just as polarized. “This man gets it—hydration over everything,” wrote one supporter. Meanwhile, a detractor fired back, “He’s the reason tequila has trust issues.”

The Aftermath

In the days following the incident, Joe has leaned into the controversy. Friends say he now carries multiple jars of Carmex to bars and has been trying to pair it with various drinks to “prove his point.”

When asked if he regrets his statement, Joe shrugged. “Look, tequila is great, but it’s predictable. Carmex is versatile, reliable, and always there when you need it. That’s what a real import should be.”

As for the locals, some have embraced the absurdity. Dirty Martini Lounge has reportedly added a new drink to their menu: the “Carmex Colada,” described as “refreshing, hydrating, and slightly unnecessary.”

Whether Joe’s statement goes down in history or gets lost in Playa’s wild nightlife lore, one thing is certain: his lips will never be dry.
