The MIA Bollywood Bash - I’ll Be Thurr
Posted by Saucy Dame Dizzle on

“Art and party lovers alike will unite in a swirl of vibrant color this Saturday evening at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts’ Bollywood Bash. This annual summer event is hosted by The Circle, a group which offers the young, hip, and art-interested (ages 21-44) a chance to experience art, meet new people, and connect with the MIA in a whole new way.
While one does not have to be a connoisseur of fine art to attend, you cannot help but miss the beauty of stylish party goers flirting on one of the MIA’s reaching spiral staircases or the well dressed couples sipping complimentary martinis under priceless paintings. While the first hour or two of this party is all about the socializing, soon the beat of the DJ draws the crowd into the main ballroom, where the dance floor pulses and the party really gets started. ”

I’ve created a new category at SAUCYDAMEDELUX.COM. It’s titled “Things I’d Like To Do“. Often I learn of events an activities that peek my curiosity/interest, but end up not attending because I’ve talked myself out of going.
Several reasons for I’ve used in the past for not attending:
A. I’m sure to be the brownest, and most ‘urban‘ person in the room.
B. Damn, it would be nice to have a friend (or a date - but that would be asking for a miracle, right?) to turn to and comment on how great or wack the event is.
C. Sometimes, I just don’t have the dividends to make the fun ‘pop off’, like it should.
Please note: The above reasons have been significantly simplified in order to reduce writing and reading time. Just know that each one could easily hold it’s weight in a lengthy blog post.

The Lady Tigra - “Bass On The Bottom”

“Work it out in LA, Play in NY, Rest in MIA” — that’s The Lady Tigra way….
“Shopisticato” - The Lady Tigra gets her rest and relaxation on.
Before Gwen Stefani and M.I.A got their electro-pop-fluff and stuff, bass-boogie on, there was L’Trimm. Some of you may remember one of hip-hop’s earliest bounce duos, sporting bustiers, ruffled skirts, patterned black stockings and ridiculous black ZORO-esque hats, that were trendy for all of the 2 seconds. The girls busted out of the Miami Bass movement and are best known for the infectious “Cars That Go Boom” , an ode to sub-woofers.
The bouncy rap glorified the sub-woofer culture and snuck onto the Billboard charts. Having three albums recorded before their 21st birthdays. Then *POOF*, L’Trimm fell off into never, never, one-hit-wonder-land — not to be heard from again with the exception of an occasional resurrection on a throwback playlist.
So what is this I spot on the i-net? A fairly new (considering the circumstances) and well done video from Ms.The Lady Tigra, looking real swell and switching up styles on the Blaxplotation tip. 20 years later, ma looks good and still has her bounce in motion. “Bass On The Bottom” is kinda poppin’ if you ask me. I guess I’m late because the video has been circulating since 2007. So why come aint nobody told me nothing?
Check the footage and let me know what you think.
