If you're not on the Velocity Films pool party list and you gaze from your balcony trying to get a peek of what goes on at the whole affair, here's what you're missing.
It is a pool party, yes, but no one but the promoters wear anything that resembles pool attire; no bikinis, no Speedos and no swimming whatsoever.
Well, it's the inflatable balls, the water pistols, the towels strewn on loungers and last, but not least, the pool. Someone decided two Lunch Bar chocolates floating in the pool would add to the intended ambience. Quite frankly, that was just nasty. On the upside, there's poolside food like hot dogs and cheese rolls and chocolates and, of course, the unrestricted flow of free drinks. Most bars run out of your favourite beer or cider first, here they ran out of Red Bull - so much for that Vodka Red Bull you've been thirsting for…
Eventually the balls are thrown off the terrace to the locals just below. It's like a scene out of a TV news report where violence has suddenly broke out amongst the locals. They run and tackle each other just to win themselves a ball. It becomes a bit distasteful to watch after a while.
The promotional girls and guys were made to wear what looked like shiny spandex outfits. Hot pants on the guys was… interesting and the girls looked like shiny mermaids. They took to the stage once Sweat X had finished his set and put on a glittering show.
Dancing, drinking and socialising is what it's really all about, the only difference being that it's during the daytime and it's around a pool. So if this is your kind of scene, make sure you try your best in 2009 to get onto the Velocity Films A-list.
