Here are a few more picts from the Adidas Original Party that happened in Berkeley a few weeks back. The ladies of Hot Tub are no joke. They hella go! They get stupid, hyphy and dumb! There’s moshing, rolling around on the ground, usually some stage diving (if there is a stage) and most certainly crowd surfing. All bets are off when they throw down, even the mannequins aren’t safe!! See more picts and video here.
Rolled out to the Adidas Original Store in Berkeley a couple of weeks ago. Hottub rocked the party hard, see the action here. We rolled 3 deep and decided to all rock out Mama joints!
See head, shoulders, knees and toes after the jump!

As you probably know, M.I.A. came to town a couple of weeks ago. See our write-up of the show here. Local favorite, Hottub, was the opening act and I had the opportunity to style out my girls in the band. We got to the venue at 4 p.m. and rocked it until midnight…and then the after party. It was a long day but the most fun ever! Wanted to share with you some of the behind the scenes action and what the ladies wore.

Yes of course fashion and beauty are exciting, but one of my other favorite pastimes is discovering GOOD new music, and the following two bands, Hottub and Chow Nasty are fo sho, Ah ma Gawd worthy. Visit Hottub’s Myspace page:http://www.myspace.com/hottub94608 Shows in California from Feb. – May 2008
The ladies of Hottub with their cheeky femme-bot rhymes are hardcore rapping machines and Chow Nasty’s indietronic funk is just crazy, quirky, fun. Both bands are San Francisco East Bay natives, and both are guilty of marrying funny, clever lyrics to righteous good beats, and have a hell of a lot of flair. So listen up folks, if you like to get your dance on, gather up your posse and check them out ASAP!!
Ah ma gawd, so fresh, it’s raw….
