| REVIEW / We B*Girlz Battle at BOTY Warm-Up Party
Most of you will already know, France made it!
Congratulations B-Girl Val and Flavor Roc!!!
The event was so much fun! The atmosphere was great, the audience really enjoyed the battles - apart from that it was really packed this year, sorry for that- and the B-Girls were rocking the house! The final battles were intense!
The winners of the We B*Girlz Battle not only won a cash prize, PSPs and clothes from Nikita, Tom Nixx and We B*Girlz. But the best thing was that they got invited to the R16 in Korea next year! Thank you Johnjay and Charlie!
We want to thank all the girls and the judges for participating, thanx to Trix for hosting, big up to all the staff and the BOTY organizers for their support and also thanks to the audience - it wouldn't be happening without you!
You can check a clip of the final battle (thanks to whoever put that on youtube) on our myspace page. We are working on a better version, will keep you updated!
I don't think I need to tell you that Korea won the crew battle again, do I?
Well, in case you didn't know, Extreme Crew (Korea) won the final battle and Turn Phrase Crew (Japan) won Best Show.
Congrats!!!

| PORTRAIT / Lady Pink / Graffiti Artist
Lady Pink was born in Ecuador, but raised in NYC. In 1979 she started writing graffiti and soon was well known as the only female capable of competing with the boys in the graffiti subculture. Pink painted subway trains from the years 1979-1985. She is considered a cult figure in the hip-hop subculture since the release of the motion picture "Wild Style" in 1982, in which she had a starring role. While still in high school she was already exhibiting paintings in art galleries, and at the age of 21 had her first solo show at the Moore College of Art. As a leading participant in the rise of graffiti-based art, Lady Pink's canvases have entered important art collections such as those of the Whitney Museum, the MET in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum and the Groningen Museum of Holland. She has established herself in the fine arts world, and her paintings are highly prized by collectors. Lady Pink continues to mature as an artist, producing ambitious murals commissioned for businesses and creating new paintings on canvas that express her unique personal vision.
Today she runs a small mural company with her artist husband Smith, creating massive works around New York City, constituting one of the few professional teams to originate from the graffiti subculture. Pink has mobilized artists into donating public art in culturally neglected communities. She also shares her 20 years of experience by holding mural workshops with kids and actively lecturing college students throughout the Northeast.
