Stuart’s Wild Ride Grand Opening Party 11/26/11

Grand Opening Party
Saturday November 26, 2-4pm
Stuart’s Wild Ride

West Boca Place Shopping Center
Just west of the Glades Rd exit of the Florida Turnpike.

Stuart’s Wild Ride Serves the South Florida Triathlon & Cycling Community
Boca Raton’s Exclusive Cervélo Cycles Showroom opens Saturday November 26

After 50 years as an avid tennis player and owner of the popular pro shop in Boca Raton, Stuart Abramson’s attention turned to cycling and soon he became quite passionate about the sport. While friends and fans know him from Stuart’s Of Boca as “the tennis guy,” all that will change this Saturday, November 26 when he launches Stuart’s Wild Ride at a Grand Opening Celebration from 2-4pm. The world’s first Cervélo concept store debuts at 8177 West Glades Road in the West Boca Place Shopping Center. Selling the elite racing brand Cervélo as well as upscale riding attire, helmets and gear, the new bike outpost is modeled after the top European cycling shops.

“I visited cycling shops all over the USA – attended the Interbike Show in the US and Eurobike in Germany – my interest became a passion, an obsession!” Determined to improve his performance, Abramson, who just celebrated his 60th birthday, wanted to purchase a Cervélo cycle but quickly discovered there was no place to actually test ride an assembled bike. “They offered to take my measurements and order one for me, but that just was not good enough.” Cervélo offers both road and time trial bikes which Stuart’s Wild Ride will feature along with Look, Pinarello and Scott cycles, premium wheels by Zipp and Mad Fibre plus pedals by Look and Speedplay.

Determined to provide the styles, selection and service for cycling connoisseurs just like him, Stuart’s Wild Ride offers an in-stock selection of Cervélo bikes and employs Nick Yanarella, a full time certified fit technician who utilizes the high tech RETÃœL system in the shop to craft a precision ride. The store is outfitted with a state-of-the-art 32″ video monitor that riders can view while utilizing the RETÃœL 3D Capture Bike Fit System. Avid cyclists know that highly accurate bike fit data can maximize their performance, improve riding efficiency and prevent the joint injury that is most common with ill-fitted bikes.

Later in the season, Garmin-Cervélo Team Rider Tom Danielson is scheduled to visit Stuart’s Wild Ride to interact with his fans and sign autographs. Danielson joined the team in 2008 and ranked as the top American in the 2011 Tour de France, finishing 9th overall. Because Cervélo makes the best selling Tri bikes, Stuart’s will also sell Tri Wear and shoes by Zoots, Sidi, Fizik and Giro alongside Italian cycling attire by Castelli and Assos clothing from Switzerland. Cycling fans can follow the progress at Stuart’s Wild Ride at Facebook.com/StuartsWildRide and join in the shop’s launch celebration Saturday November 26 from 2-4pm.

Full Moon party and the power of 11/11/11

Posted on    by

11/11/11…. And the power of the moon….
DiLido Beach Club
The Ritz-Carlton
South Beach.

The number 11 is thought of as a “master” number in numerology as the double digit of the same number, which in its most fundamental sense is said to represent new beginnings & purity. With the number 11, the attributes double in strength. The “1” and “1” facing each other (in “11”) represent two figures forming one value with higher ideals, harmony, balance, fulfillment, vision and male & female equality, and their involvement in the progression of life.

Friday night will be especially auspicious for new beginnings, and where better to start them then under a full moon at The DiLido Beach Club, oceanfront at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach.

Refinery29, the go-to place for inspiring, empowering and celebrating personal style will launch its Miami edition website and weekly newsletter during Art Basel 2011 for an exclusive evening presented by GUESS? and Motorola.

Renowned  DJ Mya Kwok.

A surprise exhibition from Not a Gallery artist Justin Belmont has created an Andy Warhol-inspired art garden, a new series of work developed specifically for Refinery29 entitled “Factory Fun House.” The installation will feature 10 large-scale circular art pieces throughout the lush landscaped courtyard. “Art Basel Miami is the apotheosis of what Andy was trying to accomplish – the meeting of art and commerce in the most fabulous, camera-ready setting,” says Belmont. Unlike the Warhol silkscreens, where bright pop color and optimism ruled, Belmont’s work is a little darker, as if the icons featured have grown wise with age.

The evening will be hosted by Refinery29’s Senior Editor Kristian Laliberte, Miami Editor Nikki Novo and Creative Director Piera Gelardi, DJ May Kwok, Founder of Not a Gallery, Justin Belmont, DJ Chelsea Leyland, Designer and Founder of Miansa Jewelry, Michael Saiger, President of Del Toro Shoes, Matthew Chevallard and fashion journalist Johnny Misheff invites Miami influencers to a jam-packed night of dancing, incredible fashion, photography and art including a Refinery29-flavored photo-booth to capture every style moment; beauty applications by Violent Lips for personalized, temporary lip tattoos; Miami-inspired photo studio with GUESS and the latest in Bluetooth technology with a unique product experience celebrating the launch of Motorola ELITE SLIVER. Guests will dance and mingle to the awesome tunes of renowned DJ May Kwok while savoring complimentary cocktails courtesy of SVEDKA vodka.

Combining daily local newsletter editions and a website that serves as a global style hub, Refinery29 offers the only 360-degree source for shopping, exclusive deals, trends, beauty news, local hot-spots, and at-home sneak-peeks of fashion’s finest.

Their innovative incorporation of hip-hop sound to the traditional styling of New Orleans brass band music has set them apart from other New Orleans bands and allowed The Stooges to develop an extraordinary performance history, including performances with Jessica Simpson and Jadakiss. The Stooges have toured nationally and internationally in Asia, Europe, and South America.

In October 2010, the Stooges Brass Band won the title of Red Bull Street Kings, beating out The Free Agents, To Be Continued, and The Soul Rebels brass bands to win an all-expense paid trip for a three-day recording and mentorship session with a producer in the Red Bull Studios in California.

Amnesia Miami: The Legend Returns

Co-Owners Andre & Gregory Boudou, Bob Sinclar & Pierre Denain To Make Amnesia’s Return to South Beach Official with a Grand Opening Celebration on October 21st, 2011

Co-owners Andre Boudou, Gregory Boudou, Bob Sinclar and Pierre Denain are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated reopening of world-renowned nightclub, Amnesia Miami. Amnesia Miami will officially open its doors on Friday, October 21, 2011, at the 136 Collins Avenue building – the same spot where Amnesia originally reigned over Miami’s night scene between 1993 and 1996.

“I built the first Amnesia Miami 20 years ago and now, together with my son Gregory, we have combined our experiences from previous ventures around the world to enhance the Amnesia concept with all new, top of the line technology.” said Amnesia Founder and co-owner Andre Boudou. “After working closely with the world’s best DJs for over 20 years, I designed Amnesia with the purpose of providing the best possible room for artists to showcase their talent,” adds co-owner Gregory Boudou. Co-owner and world renowned DJ and music producer Bob Sinclar adds, “With the combination of my influence and this one-of-a-kind musician’s haven, Amnesia Miami will lend itself to be the playground for the world’s most highly recognized celebrities and artists.”

The all-new Amnesia Miami takes over 29,000 square feet of multi-level internal space. The venue’s all-white interior exudes an avant-garde dimension of technology never seen before. The club boasts over 150 intelligent lighting fixtures, a custom-built Funktion One sound system, and five grand format LED screens with programmable moving capabilities, all which trigger the ambience for the main stage. The spacious dance floor is surrounded by 70 VIP tables, 2 private VIP sections, and a 2nd floor mezzanine, with direct views of the club’s guest DJs and performing artists. When the featured talent is not gracing Amnesia’s main stage, they can opt to relax in the Pre-Show Lounge or record tunes in the fully functional custom-designed recording studio. The combination of Bob Sinclar’s influence and this one of a kind musician’s haven, Amnesia Miami will lend itself to be the playground for the world’s most highly recognized celebrities and music artists.

Since the mid 1980’s, Andre Boudou’s worldwide brand, Amnesia, has marked over 27 consecutive years of global success. The creation of his first nightclub was pioneered in Cap d’Agde, France in 1984, and rapidly flourished as the leading dance venue in the country by offering an irreplaceable entertainment platform for the clubbing community. After shaping the venture into a worldwide renowned product, Mr. Boudou, joined by his son Gregory, decided to expand Amnesia’s presence overseas in 1993, and formed the legendary icon known as Amnesia Miami, which continuously elevated the art of clubbing for 5 full years. After almost two decades away from home, the newly transformed Amnesia Miami returns.

Amnesia Miami is located at 136 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139 and will be open Friday & Saturday nights from 11 PM – 5 AM. For more information and/or reservations, please visit www.AmnesiaMiami.com or call 305.538.2424 or email info@amnesiamiami.com

109 S.W. 2nd Ave.
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312

In the spirit of making Fort Lauderdale an increasingly more creative and interesting place to live, Green Room’s weekly Black Friday is hosting this year’s souped-up Fort Lauderdale Zombie Walk. On October 14th, Himmarshee Village will be swarmed with hundreds of the undead, staggering and groaning through the streets in search of succulent brains and fresh meat. Participating zombies are asked to meet at Green Room by 10pm.

If you’d like to be zombie-fied free of charge by a professional, the venue has invited local artist Keegan Hitchcock of Body Art by Keegan to paint willing patrons starting at 8pm at the venue (reservations are full). Along the march, there will be judges on hand to award prizes for best groan, best walk, and Mr & Mrs Zombie. To take this year’s Zombie Walk to the next level, we’ve added some wild antics such as (but not limited to) a live zombie shooting range and a severed limb scavenger hunt. Afterwards, come dance the night away at Green Room’s weekly event Black Friday with resident DJ’s Linder Smash and Kaos for a night of new wave, dark house, and industrial music.

Free shots of Zombie Baby Juice for anyone in costume. The walk starts at 10pm at Green Room.

WGIRLS MIAMI Presents the Grand Opening of The Four Deuces Speakeasy
Come join the WGIRLS MIAMI on Halloween night by stepping into the 1920’s at Miami’s original speakeasy, Tobacco Road, for an evening of murder, fun & charity benefiting the children of Holtz Children’s Hospital! With over 40 specific characters available (please visit http://sites.google.com/site/whoswhogo4d/ for character details) you can join the party as a fabulous flapper, a sinister mobster, an escort, or even an assassin. If you’d rather watch the mayhem ensue as a party guest, we will welcome 100 additional people to attend and help solve the mystery as “detectives.”

Once your tickets are purchased, you will be emailed with instructions on how to select your character. Characters are on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

The event will take place on Monday, October 31st starting promptly at 7pm, with the first murder taking place shortly thereafter, and ending by 11pm. The event will be held at the famous Tobacco Road, located just outside Mary Brickell Village. Built in 1912 this establishment was in fact a speakeasy in the 1920’s and one of Al Capone’s favorite hang outs. Surviving decades of history, this historical bar still serves as a popular watering hole in Miami today!!

With no lines to remember guests can attend as their favorite character and let their enthusiasm take them through the game or become a suave or sexy detective who’s only goal is to solve the murder. Tickets are $35 and include 2 drinks, passed hors d’oeuvres and 1920’s themed signature drink specials.

We will also have amazing prizes which will be awarded for the best male & female costume, the wealthiest player, and sleuth extraordinaire for the person who solves the mystery first.

So forget the insanity of South Beach and bring your friends to join us for an evening filled with history, fun and murder where stealing and lying to your best friend may just be the key to coming out on top for the night!

Tickets are limited so get yours today!

Hosted By: Fritz “e”, Gary James Fitzsimmons; Tracie Samara; Sol Amor, Oscar Vidal

Top 10 Recommendations For the “downtown FULL MOON party”
10. Wear comfortable shoes… You will most likely find the rhythm traveling from your head through your soul to your dancing feet.
9. Dress Creatively… Hmmm, this field here is wide open. As implied, use your creativity and step outside of the box! Let’s just say that most of you would need to dig deep in your closet for the most outrageous outfits that you can find, or simply opt to go and shop at a specialty store; Ah, here’s a clue: Think Burning Man!
8. Hula Hoopers… Get two thumbs up! Not only will you get a great mid-section workout by the end of the night, but you will also look very sexy doing it!
7. Drums, Drums, and more Drums… Can’t have enough of them! Bring your drums and let your beats be heard! We invite you to join our drum session which officially kicks off at midnight until your hands cry “No mas!”
6. Got Talent??? This ain’t “America Got Talent”. It’s better than that! In this case, you won’t vie for Fame and Fortune, but instead you are guaranteed happiness and contentment; our continuous quest in life… So, bring your props and come to show everyone what makes you happy and all the while bringing them joy in return.
5. Feeling Knotty? How about a massage… Relax and let our massage therapists give you an ultimate “feel good” back/neck rub to enhance all your senses.
4. Live Music… This month, we are so blessed to have one of Miami’s most prolific bands “Free Like Me” performing at the “downtown FULL MOON party”. As stated on their website: “Free Like Me will take you on a journey of World-Gypsy “rootsy”, acoustic, funconscious sounds! Come to one of their shows to experience their high-energy rhythms, powerful vocals and lyrics, and mesmerizing fire-dancing! Their shows create an environment.”
3. Invite your friends… Repeat, invite your friends!!! Well, it’s simple really! You already know that your friends will have a good time and thank you countless time for inviting them to this awesome party. Now, all you will have to say afterwards is “You owe me one!” But Seriously, we’d greatly appreciate it, if you could buzzz the word about the “downtown FULL MOON party”.
2. Get there early… Not only the “Early birds get the worms”, they also get to Flamenco Dance. We are offering a free Flamenco class followed by a Flamenco routine performed by a couple of top Miami Flamenco dancers. Anyone can participate in the class. You just need to be there early and “Ole!!!”
1. Don’t miss it… As in, if you are not there, you will be missing on the fun and will have to wait another entire month before our next Full Moon event. Come get your spiritual fix!

We’re working on some very cool stuff to raffle. For now, we have confirmed bottles of tasty Martin Miller’s Gin. Raffle tickets will reasonably priced, so bring your dollars. If anyone is interested in sponsoring raffle prizes, please talk to @vicequeenmaria.

What is the Miami Rat Pack?
We are a group of friends from diverse professions who like to socialize in real life and use social media to stay connected online.

Spectacular Birthday Bash for Ballet Legend Edward Villella By Betty Alvarez

Posted on    by

Miami City Ballet dancers, staff, friends and supporters gathered on October 1 to celebrate and honor America’s most celebrated male ballet dancer, Company Founding Artistic Director Edward Villella, at a special 75th birthday bash at Miami City Ballet studios in Miami Beach. The evening’s festivities featured cocktails, dinner, dancing and a pre-screening of the WNET/ PBS National television special, “Great Performances: Miami City Ballet Dances Balanchine & Tharp.”

The festivities began with a cocktail reception sponsored by Bacardi U.S.A. Guests then took to the 225-seat intimate studio theater for a special pre-screening of WNET/PBS program “Great Performances: Miami City Ballet Dances Balanchine & Tharp.” The program included a trio of signature works by George Balanchine and Twyla Tharp that showcased the company’s critically acclaimed performances of Balanchine’s Square Dance and Western Symphony and Tharp’s “The Golden Section.”

Following the screening, guests enjoyed dinner, dancing and tributes from some of Edward Villella’s closest friends and dance peers. A special montage of the most memorable and outstanding moments in Villella’s illustrious career was shown.

Edward Villella is regarded as the greatest American-born male ballet dancer of our time. He proved that a tough, brash kid out of Maritime College could become a major artist, and in doing so, changed the way men danced in America as well as the way male dancers were perceived. Born in Bayside, New York, in 1936, Villella entered the School of American Ballet at age ten, but interrupted his dance training to complete academic studies at the New York Maritime Academy, where he obtained a B.S. in marine transportation, lettered in baseball and was a championship boxer. In 1957 he was invited to join the New York City Ballet, where he was quickly promoted to Soloist (1958), and then to Principal Dancer (1960). Villella was the original male lead in many important ballets in the New York City Ballet repertoire. Perhaps his most famous role was in the 1960 revival of Balanchine’s 1929 masterpiece, Prodigal Son. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the School of American Ballet. His biggest accomplishment is co-founding Miami City Ballet with philanthropist Toby Lerner Ansin in 1985. Villella has taken the renowned company to dizzying heights, winning critical acclaim in South Florida, New York and around the world. This July, the company made its Paris debut performing for three-weeks to sold-out houses and standing ovations at the world-famous Théâter du Châtelet.

“Great Performances: Miami City Ballet Dances Balanchine &Tharp” will air nationwide Friday, October 28. Great Performances is a production of THIRTEEN in association with WNET, one of America’s most prolific and respected public media providers. PBS Arts from Miami: Great Performances “Miami City Ballet Dances Balanchine & Tharp” airs locally on Friday, October 28 at 9pm on WPBT2.

Miami City Ballet’s 2011-12 season runs from October to April at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale and Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Highlights include a World Premiere ballet by Liam Scarlett, Britain’s hottest, young choreographer, the return of the full-length productions of Giselle and Coppélia and George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ this December in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The Opus One Orchestra will perform live for all repertory programs. Subscribe now for best seating and prices at www.miamicityballet.org or call (305) 929-7010 or toll-free (877) 929-7010.

A night of dancing, drinking…….and hardcore rebel bingo.

You’ve probably never heard of us, but every week, across the world, thousands of party people descend on cleverly disguised meetings of The Underground Rebel Bingo Club, in cities as far afield as London, New York, and Madrid, as well as at major music festivals in the UK like Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. People come to drink, dance, scream and shout – but above all – to play hardcore Rebel Bingo and win weird prizes. What started as a few drunken friends messing around with a bingo kit in a London basement has now become a global underground revolution.

In October 2011 The Underground Rebel Bingo Club is coming to Miami for One Night Only, before they disappear into the shadows again.

It’s bingo, sort of, but not like you’ve seen it before. We made up our own rules, because we don’t know how to play ACTUAL bingo. This is Rebel Bingo. It’s not nice and it’s not fair. Do not bring your grandma.

Rebel Bingo is addictive and shameful so the meetings take place under the cover of darkness, with cover stories to hide their existence, just in case you don’t want people to know what you’re up to.

If you want to be a part of the revolution, seek us out.

Dear Friends,
As a singer songwriter, my dream has always been music and as a child nothing would have made me happier than see my dream come true. This is why I created Music For Your Heart Foundation (MFYH).

MFYH Foundation was founded October 5th 2010, to provide funding for music education reaching children with the greatest need and fewest resources of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and diversities, to develop their passion and help them to achieve their dreams.

MFYH Foundation organizes fundraising events not only to raise money to purchase instruments, sound, video, computer equipment and renovate educational institutions but also to build awareness of how important music is in our lives and the opportunities we could give to future generations by helping our children now.

It is our intention to work with schools and design a special program to follow the evolution of students talent and give these children the opportunity to develop their passion, knowledge and artistic ability.

MFYH Foundation also pursues the record labels commitment to identify those children that according to their talent could potentially become successful recording artists and give them some orientation to their future career.

MFYH Foundation has been the most incredible human experience I’ve ever had and I want to share it with you next wednesday October 5th.

For more information about the event and sponsoring options, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to see you there.

Ruben Campbell
Founder of MFYH Foundation

Heart Tango

Blue Martini Brickell
900 South Miami Ave.
Miami, Florida, 33130
hearttango.com

Give that giant wine glass and your TIVO remote a rest. Go on, put ’em down. Nothing cures the blues like a classy night out on the town, and no one does the dating thing as good as the appropriately named Heart Tango. Why not bring the best of both worlds together? Meeting someone at the grocery store or the neighborhood sports bar just ain’t working out. Admit it! Let the professionals handle all the tedium and weed out the hesitation – there isn’t a better way to meet people like you.

The venue is the fabulously hot-right-now Blue Martini lounge, and love is in the air. What better to elevate the mood that one of the 42 different specialty martinis offered at this slick spot. You’ll probably pass on the tapas, and get right to the point anyway… dancing! Nothing beats the sexy energy of this place, and before the night is through, you’ll have found someone to do bad things with you.

Oct. 20, from 7 – 9 p.m.
Courtyard at the Hyatt Regency
Coral Gables
To purchase tickets, visit www.mycharitywater.org/donationswellspent

Water, one of life’s simplest necessities, is something most people take for granted and Charity: Water strives to change that. Knowing that there are women and children walking for hours, just to secure some dirty water in an attempt to live was something that touched the hearts of some local individuals in the hospitality industry and their friends. Forming a small committee, Denise Erwin, of Season’s 52, Robin Orrell, of the Westin Colonnade, and a few other like-minded individuals set a goal to raise $5,000.00 with a party.

The organizing committee has already collected an incredible array of fabulous items to be auctioned at the event. Funds raised from the evening will build a well that will give 250 people, fresh water for the next 20 years.

A $35 tax deductible donation is the price of admission which includes complimentary cocktails and food stations including Season’s 52, Red Koi, La Cofradia, Flemings, Por Fin, Morton’s, and more. The Silent Auction will be offering restaurant certificates, hotel weekend getaways, a Chef’s Table at Season’s 52, and a grand prize drawing of a weekend away in Cancun.

Expect to enjoy an evening of great food, cocktails, music and entertainment while knowing that everything has been donated so that 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the building of the wells and, yes, the entire event is also organized, staffed and executed by volunteers.

Afro-Peruvian History Premiers for the First Time Ever. A celebration in Coral Gables By Betty Alvarez

Posted on    by

Afro ConTempo Dance Theater (ACDT) presents Alma en Boca, The Afro-Peruvian Story, an elaborated tale of re-invention, social structure and cultural expression that voices itself through the rhythms of the Cajon, live singers and a cast of 20 energetic performers. The performance will take place on October 1, 2011 at The Colony Theatre (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139); showtimes are at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Over the decades the African culture in Peru went through a series of critical phases, ranging from the establishment of traditions to ending in near extinction. Today Afro-Peruvian dance is the pride of Peruvian folklore. The historic journey to establish this title is a journey that is still very unclear and mysterious to the Peruvian society.

Alma en Boca moves its way through Afro-Peruvian history, interpreting the birth and transformation of the traditional culture through the already existing Afro-Peruvian folklore and combining it with a new, organic form of Contemporary Dance. This show will not only be the first to demonstrate Peru’s fascinating history, but also the first to express it using this new fusion-style of dance.

Keeping its traditional touch, the show’s creator and ACDT’s founder and director, Marcela Diaz, finds a way to stay true to Peruvian folklore while allowing it to be edged and reformed into modern day dance.

“This project has been in the works for only one year now. But has taken five long years to research,” says Marcela Diaz, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the show. She continues by saying, “I support the notion that a culture can be expressed through any well researched artistic approach, even if the culture heavily relies on tradition. What better way to share information about a culture than to bring alive its history?!”

*SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY GRAMMY NOMINATED, PERUVIAN SINGER, EVA AYLLON*

A reception was held on Sept. 15 at Aromas Del Peru in Coral Gables as a kick off to this wonderful show. The dance theatre even performed a small piece in order for guests to have a small preview of what to expect.

Admission: $40 VIP (Section 1 ), $32 VIP ( Section 2), $26 general admission, $20 students w ID/ seniors + 62. Tickets are now on sale at the Colony Theatre box office and through Ticketmaster, call 1-800-745-3000 or visit www.ticketmaster.com.

For more information about ALMA EN BOCA or ACDT please contact Marcela Diaz at 786.444.6726 or email MDiaz@AfroConTempoDanceTheater.com. Please visit our website at www.afrocontempodancetheater.com.

Anthony Bless premieres “Your Lover” music video
Thursday Sept 15, 2011, 8pm
Kyma Lounge (inside the Epic Hotel)
270 Biscayne Blvd
Miami FL 33132

His goal is to be timeless. His motivation is to succeed and to leave the world with an experience that impacts generations. With the release of his new music video “Your Lover”, I invite you to experience Anthony Bless. Join us for a night of VIPs, celebrities, cocktails and music this Thursday September 15th at Kyma Lounge located inside the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami. Hosted by Venue Magazine and sponsored by Brugal Rum, the red carpet is set to begin at 8pm.

“Your Lover” was written and produced entirely by Anthony Bless and WriteSounds. The song is a story telling adventure about the flirtatious encounter between a man and a woman who have a passionate chemistry from the moment they meet. Miss Cuba Intercontinental 2011, Damaris Aguiar, was cast as Bless’ love interest. The style of the song embodies a fusion of hip hop and soul music, a trait that Bless is well known for in his music style. The end product was made possible by the efforts of Bless and his team at ASK Media Productions and WriteSounds.

Born in New York and raised in Miami, Bless is a loyalist to his art. He is a product of Theater, Acting, Hip Hop, Jazz and Latin music. Not just known for his music, Anthony Bless has been able to display his attributes through projects such as acting on USA network’s ‘Burn Notice” and A&E’s “The Glades”. Most recently Bless landed a role in the new TV show on Starz, Magic City; filming is set to begin at the end of September. Bless also appeared as the lead role in the off-Broadway theater play “Filo Al Fuego / Blade to the Heat” in Miami. He continues to perform at several venues throughout Florida and performed overseas in the Bahamas.

Haimov Jewelers which has accessorized several celebrities such as Paris Hilton, 50 Cent and the Kardashian sisters, provided all the jewelry seen in the video. Located in the heart of downtown, the store was also featured in one of the main scenes of “Your Lover”. The stylish wardrobe worn by Bless and Aguiar in the video was provided by Sebastien James located in Midtown Miami. The white Lamborghini used to cruise down Ocean Drive was provided by Exotic Rentals and will be exhibited outside the Epic Hotel on the night of the premiere for the viewing pleasure of our guests. The spectacular home featured in the video belongs to Venue Magazine editors Herman and Alexia Echevarria, who welcomed Bless and the cast to their home with open arms. A special thanks to all other sponsors who contributed to the making of “Your Lover”: Barry Showcat of WatchBuyers, Tax Consultants and I Am Crossfit.

POSTPONED Wine By the Bay Grand Opening Party 10/6/11

Posted on    by

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE.

Wine Boutique In A Fine Art Setting, Downtown Miami Grand Opening Party
Thursday, October 6, 2011 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Wine by the Bay
888 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 112
Miami, FL, 33132

Opens for business on September 28, 2011

Etra Fine Art gallery co-owner, Stefano Campanini will open a new business on September 28, Wine by the Bay. Wine by the Bay will be a fine wine and art boutique hosting an ever-changing art exhibition. The store boasts a sleek and sophisticated contemporary interior and magical terrace view of Miami’s Biscayne Bay.

The Wine by the Bay Grand Opening event will be on Thursday, October 6. Attendees will enjoy an evening designed to satisfy the palate and enlighten both the connoisseur and the curious. The opening night event will feature art by Mimmo Paladino, Emanuele Viscuso, Mario Velez, and Wilfredo Lam alongside a showcase of exceptional wine including Gaja, Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Insigna. To learn more about Wine by the Bay or attend the grand opening event, email Stefano Campanini at info@winebtb.com or call (305) 491-8400.

After seven years running a successful contemporary art gallery with his wife Alicia Restrepo, Campanini has decided to merge his passion for art and wine and create a unique space that caters to the most seasoned wine collector, but also where the passerby will feel comfortable and at home.

“Besides everyday superior customer-oriented service and a unique selection of wines that suit every budget, I plan to hold regular art and wine tasting events that will both entertain and educate the community,” states Campanini. “Whereas in the Design District we deal with a select clientele, I am looking forward to offering something that everyone enjoys and in an environment where the art can be appreciated by many and in an unintimidating way. At art openings, wine is like a sideshow, but now, it will take center stage.”

Choosing the best wine to sell is a very selective process much like identifying great art. Campanini has personally tasted all of the wines that will make up the store’s inventory.

“I tried to have a selection of wines that represent the energetic location where I am,” says Campanini. “A selection that includes most of the Premiere Grand Cru from France and the finest Italian wines, but I also was in search of wines that are hidden treasures.” California wines are also well represented with a good selection of wines scoring more that 93 points by the two most reliable wine experts.

For the grand opening week, customers will be offered special discounts and incentives on all wines.

Located on 888 Biscayne Bay at the Marina Blue, Wine by the Bay overlooks the bay directly across from the American Airlines Arena. The 1200 square foot boutique will serve Miami’s downtown area and become a functional part of city’s new cultural identity and expansion efforts such as the Genting project, the Mikado Hotel, and the new Miami Art Museum.

A tongue-in-cheek competition of racing homemade beds through the streets of Coconut Grove, tireless teams consist of five members, including one rider hitched to the headboard. Speed wins the ultimate exhale at the checkered flag, but awards also will be given for theme, creativity and décor. Celebrity judges will be on hand to grade those looking to score away from home, and proceeds from this roll in the hay of hilarity benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade.

Miami residents, Coconut Grove merchants, and local businesses, organizations and clubs all pull back the sheets on this affair, with festivities kicking off Saturday night (Sept. 3) of Labor Day Weekend with the Pajama Pub Crawl through participating Coconut Grove bars and restaurants.

Sunday (Sept. 4) is race day, with highlights including Kids Storytelling Time; Waiters/Waitresses Obstacle Course; a Pit Row Parade of decorated beds on display; and the 1/8th-mile trundle through the heart of the Grove Village. This Labor Day Weekend, Coconut Grove is the place to be for some laborious laughter. Visit TheGreatGroveBedRace.com—and don’t sleep on it!

RSVP REQUIRED: Media outlets wishing to attend the Coconut Grove press conference, please email request to Jay Rand via Jay@DaisyIndustries.com by 2 PM on Monday, Aug. 29.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotels Of Miami And Fort Lauderdale Harness The Power Of The Moon Launch Full Moon Series For 2011/2012 Season

Posted on    by

As the social season (and cooler weather) approaches, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, South Beach and Fort Lauderdale will launch a new season of Full Moon gatherings, whose humble beginnings emanated from a history book describing Tequesta Indians naming Key Biscayne “Bischiyano,” which meant “favorite path of the rising moon” in their language.

Our romantic imaginations took off, and the Full Moon parties began. You have three soirees to choose from – all beautiful, with different, creative variations; some with mystical themes, one with a charitable component, and one with its own Constellation Concierge to point out the celestial sights in the heavens.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotels Of Miami And Fort Lauderdale Harness The Power Of The Moon Launch Full Moon Series For 2011/2012 Season

The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami Moonrise Dinner Dates:
2011: November 10; December 10
2012: January 9, February 7, March 8, April 6, May 6, June 4
When the Tequesta Indians first landed on Key Biscayne’s idyllic shore, they named it “Bischiyano” (“Favorite Path of the Rising Moon,”) for its breathtaking natural phenomenon. The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami was so inspired by the monthly occurrence, it created “Moonrise dinners” at signature restaurant Cioppino to transport guests to the mystical past. With an ever-changing four-course menu from Italy’s gastronomic regions created by master Italian Chef Ezio Gamba, tabletop telescopes, and a Constellation Concierge, which is a private guide to the night sky that helps guests pinpoint celestial objects, including stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, this is one of Miami’s best kept secret dinners. Well-priced at $60 per person / $90 per person with wine pairings (or the option to order from the Cioppino menu). (305-365-4286)

While The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami island location lends itself to romantic dinners under the stars, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach and The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale create party atmospheres. Both soirees are open to the public, have reduce-priced valet parking, cocktail & appetizer specials and the city’s top DJs spinning.

The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, Oceanfront Dilido Beach Club
Legends of the Full Moon series, oceanfront, with oversized telescopes to watch the moon rising out of the Atlantic, and $10 light bites, specialty cocktails, décor, music and surprises to reflect the mystical qualities of each legend.
