Paris gets Goa grooving!

She performed as DJ after walking the ramp at the finale of the fashion fest.

CANDOLIM: Like any other well informed DJ, Paris Hilton knows what is needed to get a crowd swinging. The socialite and entrepreneur chose the popular Korean song “Gangnam Style” and peppered the hit number with the words, “We will rock this night Goa!” to begin her performance at the Sandkastle Music Festival at the India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW).

Hilton first walked the ramp for designer duo Shane and Falguni at the finale of the fashion fest in a peacock print dress. Later, she was all geared up for her maiden performance as a DJ in a metallic knee-length dress. The four-day fashion extravaganza concluded Saturday night.

“Goa, how are you feeling today, all set to rock the night?” she asked before performing and added, “I love you people. You guys are so amazing; I love India, this country rocks!”

The music lovers danced to some of the popular numbers like “Tonight’s Gonna Be A Good Night” and “I’m Sexy And I Know It” something that the 31-year-old remixed herself. When playing the hit number “Gangam Style” — the crowd went wild, that moment was surely the cherry on top.

The heiress, who visited the country last year to launch the Fall-Winter designs of her handbags, made her debut as a DJ this summer during a music festival in Brazil.

Before this, Hilton made her entry into the music world in 2006 as a solo artist with “Stars are blind” and also released a self-titled album in the same year.

People from as far as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai, and from countries like Ireland, New York and London attended the programme.

“I love Paris Hilton, we were always fans of her vivacious beauty and watching her spinning for the first time is incredible,” said student Viktoria Narain who came from Banglore. “It’s unbelievable that she has such talent.”

“After watching her performance, I wanted to go and kiss her. She is just superb,” said Daniel Verghis.

After the show was over, Paris promised to perform again soon.

“Wow! What a fun show! Had the best time performing tonight! So happy that you all loved my set! Loved seeing you all dance!” she tweeted.
