Kooler Babe: Saved by the babes – held on Carnival Wednesday – transformed 36 Hope Road into a retro street scene reminiscent of the ’80s and ’90s sitcom. Babes and gents alike turned up in full throwback fashion – from neon leotards and mesh merino tops to vibrant oversized shirts, denim, and boots – the class came ready and clearly understood the assignment.

With DJs Private Ryan, Lord Hype, Tyler Third Dimension, Fling, H7-6, Laing, and Matt Camps on the decks, the riddims kept the vibes high all night. The crowd brought non-stop energy – and the babes? Oh, they did not just save the night – they owned it. Something Extra has the social highlights.
