Kandi-licious

It was a shiny, shimmering and candy-colored night.Ladies wearing short metallic dresses all came out to add glitter to the recent Hed Kandi dance-a-thon. A hint of summer was also in the air as some of the ladies came in wearing pastel-colored tops. Choice of footwear ranged from comfy bejeweled flats to metallic stilettos to classic pumps and mid-calf boots. Accessories were kept very minimal.  Long necklaces and bangles were evident picks and were just enough to add accents to the  already dazzling outfits. And to carry their essentials these glam girls toted everything from small metallic clutches to boho-type bags.

The combination of glitz and music mounted by Nokia Music Express together with Big Fish’s Hed Kandi was killer. Everyone danced the night away and sang their hearts out as lovely Samantha James belted the hot track, Rise. DJ Andy Norman, known for his ambient style, provided track after track of spellbinding music.  Team Bigfish’s DJ Johnboy Lee thrilled everyone with his rendition of the Nokia tune. Bluetooth stations served the appetite of partygoers  who wanted their own share of the track. Truly, it was a wondrous night.  Everyone went home with glitter in their eyes and music playing in their heads.
