Cobra Starship
Celebrities, charity and polka-dotted panties will join forces Thursday to celebrate the power of pink.
DJ Girl Talk and chart-topping band Cobra Starship will provide entertainment at Victoria Secret’s Pink Nation B-Town Bash at 5 p.m. in Dunn Meadow. The festival-style event, hosted by supermodel Behati Prinsloo, will feature a pop-up shop vending IU gear, a “Hope Wall” for attendees to decorate, cornhole, free items and more.
It is also a charity event benefitting Middle Way House, a local shelter for battered and abused women and their families. The money to be sent to the shelter will come from the limited edition B-Town Bash T-shirts.
Hoosiers secured Thursday’s event by a small margin of online votes.
“It all started with a contest this summer,” said junior Mary Deneen, Victoria’s Secret Pink campus representative. “We were competing against five other schools to win a bash here, and it was very close. We beat Auburn University by about one percent.”
