Miami New Times Once Again Joins Miami Spice as the Official Kickoff Host for the Dining Season.
The Second Iron Fork/Miami Spice Grand Tasting Event Brings New Restaurants for an Exclusive Epicurean Evening

The seventh-annual Miami New Times Iron Fork, presented by the Downtown Miami Development Authority, will once again partner with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau to host the official Miami Spice Kickoff Event on Thursday, July 31, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency Miami. The second anniversary of this kickoff event will introduce dining enthusiasts to some of the finest restaurants featured during the Miami Spice program, as well as dozens of other top local eateries.

In 2013, Biz Bash selected the Iron Fork/Miami Spice Kickoff as one of the top 10 culinary events in South Florida, and this year the event has grown exponentially. It will bring culinary creations from more than 60 of South Florida’s luxury and fine-dining restaurants for sampling, some of which include Old Lisbon, Texas de Brazil, Bulla Gastrobar, Toscana Divino, Rusty Pelican, Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar, The Oceanaire Seafood Room, Tamara Bistro, Baires Grill, Toro Toro, City Hall, Cibo Wine Bar, The Trapiche Room, and many more.

In addition, Miami New Times is proud to announce that we’ve partnered with the charitable organization Share Our Strength to bring awareness of childhood hunger in America. You and your restaurant can be a part of the movement that brings food to the mouths of low-income children in Florida by participating in our kickoff event. A portion of ticket sales will also go to Share Our Strength, as well as 100 percent of the proceeds raised during a silent auction that will take place during the event. Many excellent prizes will be available and will go to the highest bidders.

The epicurean event will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. and will bring together thousands of young professionals, local businesses, and foodies for an evening of gourmet food selections, tasty
libations, and live entertainment. Guests who prefer a more intimate dining experience may purchase VIP tickets, which include entry to the event one hour early, at 6 p.m., and access to a private VIP bar and lounge that will feature exclusive entertainment and an elite selection of Miami’s best luxury dining restaurants. Tickets go on sale on Monday, June 2, 2014.

About Miami Spice
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau organizes Miami Spice, a mouthwatering restaurant promotion that showcases the best of Miami cuisine. During August and September, restaurants offer three-course meals featuring signature dishes created by world-renowned chefs. It’s a tropical fusion of ingredients that makes Miami an epicurean paradise.

About Share Our Strength
Share Our Strength began in the basement of a row house on Capitol Hill in 1984, in response to the ‘84-‘85 famine in Ethiopia. Brother and sister Bill and Debbie Shore started the organization with the belief that everyone has a strength to share in the global fight against hunger and poverty, and that in these shared strengths lie sustainable solutions. Today we focus these strengths on making No Kid Hungry a reality in America. We’re ending childhood hunger by connecting kids to effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals. This work is accomplished through the No Kid Hungry network, made up of private citizens, government officials, business leaders, and others providing innovative hunger solutions in their communities. These partners work together, implementing solutions that break down the barriers that keep kids from healthy food. Through its Cooking Matters program, the No Kid Hungry campaign educates and empowers low-income families to stretch their food budgets so their kids get healthy meals at home. Cooking Matters participants learn to shop strategically, use nutrition information to make healthier food choices, and cook delicious, affordable meals. The No Kid Hungry campaign works to shine a national spotlight on the crisis of childhood hunger in America, creating a powerful movement of individuals committed to bold action. We build partnerships that enlist influential individuals in the cause and advocate policy changes needed to achieve our goals.

About Miami New Times
Miami New Times began publishing in 1987 and has grown into the premier weekly publication in the American Southeast. Showcasing the talents of an accomplished editorial staff recruited from across the nation, the paper — which includes a web edition that draws a half-million readers per week — New Times has established a reputation for compelling stories ignored or overlooked by major media, for insightful coverage of local arts and entertainment, and for unflinching exposure of Miami’s steamy political life. That reputation for high-caliber journalism has spread beyond South Florida. The paper has won more than 90 first-place awards for editorial excellence, statewide and nationally.

The Most Prestigious Title In Amateur Bodybuilding teams up with Impulse Group Fort Lauderdale in collaboration with AIDS Heatlhcare Foundation to promote overall health and fitness in the LGBT community in a fashion that only Impulse can create…PUMPED: the Official After Party for the Gay Mr. America bodybuilding competition.

In a city where everybody takes pride in his or her body, what is the recipe to create the ultimate showcase? Sprinkle a little glitz and glam on top of sculpted, massive bodies and you get “PUMPED!” It will be raining men…and women of all walks of life as we get PUMPED for an unprecedented celebration! For the first time ever, The Most Prestigious Title In Amateur Body Building, Mr. America, will be hosting PUMPED to honor and celebrate the winners of the competition being held earlier that day at the Colony Theater on Lincoln Road.

The Official After Party for Mr. Gay America and Women’s Extravaganza Championships to benefit Impulse Group Fort Lauderdale!
This celebration will open up the doors to athletics in the LGBT Community as we acknowledge the dedication, sweat and perseverance of these Bodybuilding and Fitness competitors.  Broadening the audience of Bodybuilding/Fitness shows in the US will make it possible for members of the LGBT community to be honored in their Fitness, Bodybuilding and competitive dreams.

“Bodybuilding and fitness would not exist today if were not for the support of the gay community throughout the years.  In fact, the most coveted trophy is the Sandow, presented to the winner of the Mr. Olympia contest (the best of the best show.) Very few know that Eugen Sandow, a pioneering bodybuilder, was gay.
Now we will give the LGBT community the chance to stand out in the competitive world of fitness and bodybuilding with the first annual Gay Mr. America and Women’s Extravaganza Championships,” stated Bob Bonhan, Owner of Mr. America.

Who else but Impulse Group Fort Lauderdale to produce such a monumental after party for the bodybuilding competition? Impulse is known for producing phenomenal “pink carpet” events that blend glamour and swag with life-saving messaging about healthy living in a world with HIV. At PUMPED, a whirlwind of bodies in motion will encourage guests to get physical in every sense of the word! With a very sexy, sweaty, gym theme, dancers and performers will glisten with body paint in their designated work out zones, and the sounds of activist DJ Christian Salmonson will fill the arousing gym atmosphere. Fitness entrepreneur, Mikey Verdugo, will MC the event and drive home the message of a healthy lifestyle. If that is not enough fitness fun for guests to absorb, we will supply them with Impulse’s signature gym gear for future fitness endeavors.

Stolen is giving away 150 sofas across 3 countries, no strings attached.

Jamie Duff, Stolen founder, went to Otago University in Dunedin, NZ. While studying, having a good sofa was always of paramount importance to a good, homely flat; whether it was entertaining a party, having a ‘friend’ to stay the night, a lazy afternoon sharing a quiet drink with friends, watching sports – or, in those days, perhaps actually loading up your sofa and taking it to a sports game for viewing comfort. With these fond memories in mind, he decided Stolen would give back starting with the Stolen sofas giveaway making this year the year of spreading the love and keeping the memory alive across 3 countries: Sydney in Australia, Dunedin in New Zealand and Miami in the US.

Details: If you can take it, it’s yours! Stolen will drop off 501375755_10151920537249583_943557685_n sofas on a first come, first serve pick up. Stolen does not deliver.

Wynwood Arts District
The Mom’s Night Out event is open to the public.
General admission tickets are available for Free with pre-registration online
VIP tickets are $5.00 and include a gift bag.
www.EventsForMoms.com

South Florida moms prepare for the first Mom’s Night Out event. Mom’s Night Out (MNO) is an event dedicated to all mothers throughout South Florida. All women are invited to attend to shop special promotions from participating fine retailers while enjoying sips, snacks, a free beauty bar, dancing and giveaways.

MNO began late last year when two long time friends came together. After creating several events branded for other companies, they decided it was time to create an event honoring South Florida’s thriving community of mothers. Jessica Prieto, Founder of Mom’s Night Out and mother to a 19 month old, had a vision to create an event that would allow moms to bond, reward themselves and be pampered all while celebrating their hard work and efforts within an upscale happy hour atmosphere.

“Between diaper changes, work, dirty dishes, mommy & me classes, laundry, and everything else, I barely have time to sit down, much less spend time with my girl friends. Moms need, and most importantly, deserve a break. That’s what Mom’s Night Out is all about,” explains Jessica Prieto. “We bring the shopping to you, with stores like Wacoal, Benii Boutique and La Belle Mobile Boutique. You can get pampered for free by Mary Kay, Nail Bar & Lounge and Blo Blow Dry Bar. We will also be giving away some great prizes, including our grand prize provided by Juno Lucina. I want all moms to put on their sexy heels, shop, dance and have fun!” said Jessica.

Additional event sponsors include Frost Shot, Baby Signs, Thirty One, Origami Owl, ItWorks, All Over U Soaps & More, Paparazzi, Body By VI, Ricardo Amar Photography, DeliverLean, Dr. Vanessa Marino, Ready Freddie Studios, Heather Lopez Enterprises and Baby Tots Den.

Mom’s Night Out Event is a Soul Of Miami sponsor.

It was all about the Margaritas to celebrate National Margarita Day with El Jimador Tequila by Betty Alvarez

El Jimador Tequila was proud to represent National Margarita Day on February 22 with the final event of a two week long competition that took place at the Wynwood hotspot known as The Social Lubricant Lounge.

Five Mixologists from five of South Florida’s most well-known venues battled it out at the Social Lubricant Lounge to find out who made Miami’s best Spicy Margarita!

The Five South Florida locations and their head mixologists include:
-TWIST represented by Nathan Smith,
-Baires Grill represented by Plamen Atanasov,
-The Social Lubricant Lounge represented by Ronaldo Shehadeh,
-Tarpon Bend represented by Christopher Garcia,
-TequiztLan Mexican Restaurant represented by Stephanie Ortiz.

The finale event served to engage with consumers in a unique way that encourages them to enjoy el Jimador in a truly dynamic array of settings. DJ Miik presided over the turntables as guests got a Mixology Lesson where they learned how to make simple cocktails which can be easily reproduced in the comfort of their home or when out on the town. During this experience, they literally poured, shaked, and served up their very own take on the perfect el Jimador Margarita!

Adding to the fun, guests were part of different stations to include the “Shake and Bite,” “Mixology Lab,” and “Social Mixology Demo” where once they’ve learned to make a delicious cocktail, they presented it via a brief digital video that they can quickly post to their social media platform. Immediately, they were able to share their personal recipe with friends and followers. The grand finale of the event was the announcement of the winner of the best el Jimador Spicy Margarita in South Florida!

It originated over 10 years ago as a simple attempt to break away from the ordinary New Year’s Eve celebrations, FEROSH’s legendary GENESIS event has now become a tradition to dance music lovers.

From neighboring states and continents, over 3000 guests flock down to Miami’s South Beach every year to start their New Year with the big room sound of the world renowned DJ/Producer Tracy Young and her special guest performers. This year DJ Paulo from Los Angeles will be spinning along side Tracy Young. At 8am New Year’s Day, January 1st, 2014, GENESIS will return to Miami’s most famous club, Mansion and once again provide a sanctuary for those who refuse to take part in South Beach’s chaotic New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Aware of our role within the LGBT community, GENESIS 2014 supports our Florida LGBT community through our official partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Together we celebrate the recognition of same-sex marriages by the federal government and support the efforts to overturn Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is a non – profit organization founded in the 1973 with a mission to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of the LGBT movement. A portion of GENESIS 2014 proceeds will be donated to The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Holiday Eve Party 2013 at Nanking Asian Grill 12/24/13

Saturday, December 24th, 6pm –9pm
Nanking Asian Grill at The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel

Admission Price:  Cost is $20 per person at the door. Online tickets $20.00 / includes one drink ticket
www.sfsingleliving.com 

Let’s face it, everything is closed on Christmas Eve, so what’s a person to do?  That was the exact question Harry Baum had several years ago.  Baum was the publisher of South Florida Single Living newspaper. His solution; produce the Holiday Eve Party – where young singles can celebrate in their own way by getting together on this highly festive day of the year. That was over 25 years ago.  “Since virtually everything is closed, and only a few restaurants are open, there’s very little to do!  I thought it would be nice to have an event to help take those “holiday blues” away,” Baum said.

This year’s event will be unlike any other Christmas Eve party in South Florida…no smoky nightclubs…only a beautiful location overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway.  This event welcomes all singles, non-singles for a night to remember.

Nanking Asian Grill is an incredibly fun and beautiful location for this year’s Holiday Eve Party. It’s also centrally located in all of South Florida with easy access to virtually all points from Kendall to West Palm Beach making it perfect for the entire South Florida singles community. Unlike other Christmas Eve parties charging $30 admission, the Holiday Eve Party under the Stars has lowered their tickets price to $20 online.

Join us for the Sixth Annual ‘New Year’s Forever’ celebration as we ring in 2014 in style at one of Miami’s newest and most unique venues, MidLoft at George’s Kitchen!

For years, New Year’s Forever has grown to become one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. Reasons may be for its reputable line-up of entertainment or sightings of pre-countdown celebrities, but most will say it’s the go-to celebration that bridges that gap between the pretentious black tie affairs and the casual household gatherings. Celebrate a moment you want to remember forever.

Make it temporary or make it timeless… New Year’s is Forever.

Miami Marine Stadium 50th Anniversay Clambake in the Museum Plaza 12/22/13

Coral Gables Museum
285 Aragon Avenue
Coral Gables, FL 33134
There are a limited number of tickets available and must be purchased in advance.

This December, the Miami Marine Stadium turns 50! To celebrate, Friends of Miami Marine Stadium will host a screening of the Elvis Presley film “Clambake”–scenes of which were shot at the Marine Stadium in 1967. The evening will include a “Latin clambake” featuring paella, a cash bar, and a comfy seat to watch the film. The event will be held outdoors in the patio (indoors if necessary) at the Coral Gables Museum currently featuring the exhibit “Concrete Paradise: Miami Marine Stadium.” Our Miami spin on the New England tradition includes the movie, a plate of delicious paella and cash bar drinks for only $5!

The film, which tells the story of an heir to an oil fortune (Elvis Presley) who trades places with a water ski instructor at a Florida Hotel, features Elvis in his youth as a budding heartthrob and submerses him in the 1960’s surfside antics of the South Florida lifestyle. Those attending the screening will see the vintage hydroplane boat racing shot on sight at the Marine Stadium!

Built in 1963 for boat racing, the Marine Stadium had a tremendous opening night which featured the Tommy Bartlett Water show, a 17 piece jazz orchestra, a 40 person choir singing selections from the opera Die Fledermaus, and fireworks. The Stadium hosted boat races, Easter Sunrise Services, spectacles of all kinds, and performers including Jimmy Buffett, Ray Charles, and The Who during its years of operation from 1963 to 1992. The Stadium was shuttered in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew. But, in 2008, a new non-profit group–Friends of Miami Marine Stadium–was formed to develop a plan to restore and operate the Marine Stadium. In July of 2013, the City of Miami approved the site plan as proposed by Friends of Miami Marine Stadium and fundraising has commenced.

The Clambake evening is sponsored by the Miami Parrot Heat Club. The Parrot Head Club is comprised of devout fans of Jimmy Buffett, perhaps the most beloved of all Marine Stadium performers. “There has not been a single event that has united fans of Jimmy Buffett more than that August, 1985 Live By The Bay Concert at the Marine Stadium”, said Brenda Braley, President of the Miami Parrot Head Club. “The people who were there still talk about it 28 years later while the rest of us dream that it will happen again.”

A 1920’S Drinking Den. Ft. Lauderdale’s Hottest Nightlife Secret Revealed. If You Can Find It!

Stroll South on SW Second Avenue from Broward Boulevard and you’ll notice a rather non-descript building with a back-lit red awning surrounding the entry. The writing on the awning features Chinese lettering and welcomes patrons to what’s called the Himmie Health Club. But don’t bother to bring your workout clothes when you enter. For inside you will find a much more interesting experience. You will find . . . Stache!

The Grand Opening of Stache is scheduled for Saturday Evening, November 16th AT 10PM. Located at 109 SW Second Avenue, it promises you a nightlife environment unparalleled in South Florida. For once you enter through its curtains you will find yourself transported, transformed and transfixed into more than just another era.

Stache will infuse you with the intimate energy of a 1920’s Speakeasy. The scene is mysterious and relaxed, yet curious and upbeat. It’s a place to escape…a swanky downtown drink haven where the walls are warmed with plush tapestries and the drink menu is flush with high-end potables.

World renowned mixologist John Lermayer has put his creative touch to the unique libations at Stache. Called the Connoisseur of Cocktails and a winner of the prestigious Domaine de Canton Bartender of the Year award, he has reached new creative heights in his offerings at Stache and he will continue to bring exciting one-of-a-kind combinations to thrill and delight those adventurous cocktail enthusiasts. In addition to perfectly poured cocktails, there is an impressive selection of quality craft beer, wine and sake. And be sure take notice of the champagnes, all of which have been expertly selected for discriminating palates.

But it is more than cocktails you’ll find at Stache! Renowned 5-star Executive Chef Shashank Agtey has put together a taste-tempting menu of delights to complement the liquid stars of the Drinking Den. Unique Tapas and devilishly sweet dessert confections will highlight a wide array of delicious treats. Great food and drink in an excitingly different and comfortable atmosphere. What more would you need?
How about some entertainment?
Stache is all about the music. They rock a crossover format like nobody else can, seamlessly blending a collection of Classic Rock/Funk/Soul/R&B spanning the last six decades to the newest of Electro Swing, Indie & Electronic/Tech House. Stache also features a professional stage where you can experience fine entertainment in an intimate atmosphere. From great live music to cabaret acts and burlesque shows, there is always something incredible to see.

The Grand Opening of Stache is scheduled for Saturday, November 16th at 10PM. Stache is located at 109 SW Second Avenue in Ft. Lauderdale, To RSVP e-mail: rsvpstache@gmail.com. ###

Saturday join the Downtown Miami & Brickell Chamber for the Grand Opening of one of our members, Planet Beach Brickell. Music, Food & Fun await with a Mardi Gras meets Carnivale theme.

Planet Beach Launches New Franchise Location in Brickell
Local business owner Natasha Gelman becomes one of the newest franchisees and will celebrate with a Grand Opening party in November

Located on the Mezzanine level of 1060 Brickell, Planet Beach Brickell brings self-automated spa services and the contempo spa concept to hundreds of busy working women (and men) in the Brickell and Downtown Miami area. After months of renovation, the location is finally ready for its close-up and plans to showcase its services with a two-day Grand Opening party, November 8th and 9th.

At the age of 16, Ukranian-born immigrant Natasha Gelman arrived in Miami with her family and not a penny to her name. Through hard work, perserverence and a realty business, Natasha has since amassed ownership in three well-known Miami restaurants. As a busy working woman herself, Natasha began frequenting a Planet Beach location in Miami Beach and, according to her, “fell in love with the Contempo Spa concept.” She added that, “The feeling I got when going to this spa kept me coming back week after week and that is the feeling I wanted to bring to more women like me.”

Brickell is full of people who need a way to relax, unwind and de-stress and industry trends indicate that more consumers are making spa services part of their regular personal wellness regimens. However, traditional day spas can become expensive and difficult to incorporate into a busy schedule. Eighty-three percent of spas have made changes such as increasing treatment options, offering retail products, adding new spa programs and offering shorter treatment durations. This recipe for success was pioneered by Planet Beach, as it was the first company to challenge the concept of the traditional day spa by offering high-quality automated spa services that are convenient and affordable.

Planet Beach evolved into the spa industry in 2005 by expanding beyond tanning options to introduce its Relax, Glow and Renew categories of services to customers. Today it offers more than 20 push button automated spa services including massages, facials, hydration treatments, teeth whitening, red light therapy, as well as nutritional supplements and a skincare line. The automated spa is a unique spin on the traditional day spa giving customers control and offering them unlimited access to a full suite of spa services for a low monthly membership fee.

The monthly membership model allows customers to easily budget for spa services knowing the price they will pay for their monthly wellness needs. Planet Beach offers convenience for customers with self-automated services all in one location. Service times can be controlled to fit into a busy schedule or make for a relaxing day at the spa. Consumers are moving toward this new model for day spas and choosing affordable, convenient services over traditional spa options.

The Dark Dining Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade Ball Dazzles Miami

Sexy & Scrumptious Dining in the Dark

The talented Chef Adrianne Calvo compiled quite a delectable feast for all the senses with her legendary Dining in the Dark at the Coral Gables Country Club this past September 20th 2013. She threw an Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade Ball  to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event was adorned and saturated with magnificent ostentatiousness  and scrumptiousness.

Dining in the Dark consisted of a seven course meal where patrons consumed their meal blindfolded. Eating blind amplifies the experience because shutting off one sense accentuates the others and our brain does not prejudge the food based on what we see. Once the food is served, the first step is to touch the food. All dishes had very enticing and interesting textures. We were then instructed to smell the food, which at times was intoxicating in the best way. The mere whiff of the exquisite truffle oil induced a Niagara fall of saliva in our mouths. We have become quite addicted to truffles since this event. Finally, you may taste the food and be marveled by the complex flavors in your mouth. In between the courses, you delighted in sexy sounds like Enigma while enjoying the touch of your dining partner, and fully embarking on and appreciating the entire blind experience.

The event was unique, delightful and delectable. Her fried goat cheese and truffle oil ball were our amaurotic favorite. In addition, to the decadent dinner there was a whole slew of entertainment which included: contortionists, fire dancers, burlesque show (videos below),  live band, body painting, chandelier models, as well as sexy mermaids performing in the pool.

Why: 6 years of this shit.

Who: Me and probably 3 other people. Let’s try to get at least six to show up.

Again, I don’t want to deal with the logistics of a club event and we all either work in clubs or don’t go to them, so it’s at a bar and we’re probably crashing someone else’s party. Wood Tavern doesn’t know and probably doesn’t care if we show up or not.

But it’s fun. Trust me. We’re the last standing nightlife website that isn’t advertorial. That’s something to celebrate.

FYI, I’m aware the real birthday is September 17th but that’s a weekday.

Toning and sculpting locals and celebrities alike, Pure Barre is the latest fitness trend to hit South Florida. Stars like Madonna, Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman (that Black Swan body didn’t materialize overnight) all sculpted their stunning dancer-esque physiques using the barre technique, which incorporates small isometric movements to effectively target problem areas women struggle with the most such as abs, hips, seat and arms while integrating stretching sessions to elongate muscles and prevent bulk.

Pure Barre Miami has already sculpted hundreds of bodies into pure perfection and now, in honor of its one-year anniversary “barre-ty”, they are inviting the community to join them for an evening of celebratory pampering featuring pop-up beauty “barres” by GBS Beauty Store, healthy bites and handcrafted cocktail shots by LIQS.

Pop-up pampering stations include complimentary mini-manicures at the Purely Polished Mani Barre featuring the hottest nail shades by Deborah Lipmann and Butter London, a Fall Lip Barre featuring Lipstick Queen and Sara Happ, and a Brighten Up Eye Barre with all the creams, concealers and powders the lid can hold.

Guests will also enjoy an exclusive pop-up shop by Athleta featuring the latest workout gear for the season and giveaways throughout the night. In addition, the first 100 guests will receive a GBS gift bag filled with must-have beauty essentials.

Founded by dancer, choreographer and fitness guru Carrie Rezabek Dorr in 2001, the Pure Barre workout has exploded in popularity. Since it began franchising in 2009, more than 100 Pure Barre studios have opened nationwide. Pure Barre Miami opened in 2012 at 205 Altara Avenue in Coral Gables.

The countdown has begun. They are coming. We must seek shelter from the Invaders.

As you may be aware, there have been several isolated alien attacks in major cities across the globe. These Invaders seek to deplete our natural resources and in the process enslave us. They transform the humans they encounter into zombie-like warriors and slaves, expanding their army and support.

International Intelligence Agencies are predicting that the Invaders will touch down in South Florida on Saturday, October 26 at approximately 10:00 p.m. Do not panic. We must seek shelter at Resistance Central located inside the Miami Beach Convention Center. You will receive more instructions upon arrival and be given a liquid elixir that will make you immune to becoming a zombie slave. All citizens seeking refuge will be given the opportunity to officially join the Resistance and take to the streets to battle the Invaders. Those that choose not to fight will be allowed to join the organizational efforts at Resistance Central. Local authorities and Resistance fearless leader, TRACY YOUNG, have assured us that we will be safe from all alien attacks there.

Bring your friends and your loved ones. Notify your neighbors and colleagues. You must all plan to join the Resistance at the Miami Beach Convention Center. It’s a matter of life or death. The future of mankind depends on it.

Together Flash Studios and THE KULT are building a production team to provide the full service of hair, make-up, styling and art direction for fashion shows, photo shoots, movie/video sets, and events.

Our store will continue to carry all favorite brands like Betsey Johnson, Lip Service, Hips and Hair, and TRIPP NYC.

The original version of this floating soiree started in California back in 2004, and since 2012, Miami’s had its very own! Back in April, a bunch of Miamians people showed up to float up. Saturday Sept. 14th, we are doing it again!

No bouncers, no guest lists, no cover charge, no promoters, just good ol’ fashioned floating fun! Bring your float, raft, inner-tube, rubber tire or anything that floats and join us at South Pointe Park for an awesome day!

Notes:
Please PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF, let’s be kind to this beautiful beach!

Your “beverages” must be in discreet containers such as plastic bottles. Remember, NO glass bottles are allowed on the beach.

Get crazy…within legal limits. No drama, please. We are all one big, friendly, floating party family! :)

Peace, Love & Float on!

Photographs of Bazaar Noir sponsored by Dos Equis at Grand Central

Love, Hope, Strength invites you to a night of culinary oddities, exotic beasts, and enigmatic strangers. Grand Central was transformed into a market inspired soiree guaranteed to test your wits and tempt your senses. Sip on complimentary Dos Equis as live music and unexpected encounters transport you to the Bazaar Noir.

We received these cute little passport cards that we took with us to every station to have punched.  It wasn’t that easy though. You had to try one of the “culinary oddities” or perform some task in order to get your card punched. Once all four corners of the card were punched out, then you were invited to the special secret room to view a performance.  Slits in a wall revealed a mirrored room with a dancing phoenix that seemed to perform JUST for you, like a pervy peep show. It was difficult to describe, so you’ll have to see for yourself… or ask me sometime.

The event was such a blast. We really enjoyed the musical stylings of The Candy Shop Boys. They played an eclectic and provoctive mix of muic and genres. I especially love how they cover tunes in new and interesting ways.

We were are all about partying for a purpose.  That’s why we are happy to find out that Love Hope Strength was behind all the the peculiar partying. Love Hope Strength (LHS) an international, music-centric cancer charity dedicated to saving lives, one concert at a time. Their mission is to save lives, right now, with the advances that have already been made in cancer care.

So, how does one become a marrow or blood stem cell donor?

It is a painless and simple procedure to get registered.  You fill out a quick form, have your cheek swabbed. The cells are taken and sent to a lab to be tested to determine your tissue type.  Your data is then entered into the National Marrow Donor Program registry. No worries. It’s anonymous.

Here is a video from MiamiTV recorded live at Bazaar Noir!

Midtown Pawn Boutique Grand Opening 7/13/13

Midtown Pawn Boutique Grand Opening
pawnSaturday, July 13th, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Midtown Pawn Boutique
261 NW 36 Street
Miami, FL, 33127

Midtown Miami officially welcomes a new business to the neighborhood, Midtown Pawn Boutique, an upscale, revolutionary, Miami-style take on the traditional notion of "pawn."

"It’s like the Neiman Marcus of Pawn, the Mercedes-Benz of Pawn, the Tiffany’s of Pawn… you get the idea," laughs President, Adriana Hernandez, "it’s the complete opposite of the dark, cluttered, seedy places you may have seen on Law & Order or in the movies."

Indeed it is. The grand facade features a giant mural that takes up the entire front and side of the large brand-new building – one that took over 5 years to complete. The mural, created by Wynwood artist and girl-power darling, Diana Contreras (best known for "Sofia Rose"), will be unveiled at the grand opening.

The subject of the mural might seem an odd choice for a pawn shop, until Hernandez tells the story behind it. It is inspired by Queen Isabella, who, as legend has it, pawned the crown jewels of Spain to fund Christopher Columbus’ speculative voyage to "India," an investment so successful that it lifted her kingdom out of a crippling debt that almost ruined it.

Hernandez says, "It’s no different today. You’d be surprised at how many of our clients are visionaries or businesspeople who want to take their unused assets and trade them – temporarily – for the capital they need to invest in a new venture or project, and who were turned down by traditional banks. We offer a safe, cost-effective alternative for financing. The way we see it, we don’t make loans, we fund dreams, just like Isabella did 500 years ago."

Aside from the unveiling, music by DJ Maximus 3000 and the free-flowing food and libations, the Grand Opening features a unique twist. Guests are encouraged to "Bring An Asset" to the party and have it appraised – an Antiques Roadshow-inspired way for guests to jump in and learn firsthand what their often-overlooked possessions are worth. Valuation Specialists from a variety of fields, from art and jewelry to antiques and handbags, and everything in between, will be onsite educating guests on "the story of their stuff."

Midtown Pawn Boutique is the brainchild of the family owned Jimenez Group, a US-based collateral lender that has operated for over 50 years. The Boutique will cater to an upscale clientele with valuable assets who may have never before considered pawn as an option. In addition, Midtown Pawn Boutique will also buy and sell items out of the posh locale, including designer handbags, jewelry, watches and other upscale luxuries. Who knows, is Pawn the new Prada?

During the event, donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit Dr. Gigi’s Raise Me Up Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 that provides free recreational programs, family support services and therapeutic programs to children with special needs in the South Florida Community. Says Hernandez about their commitment to this organization: "My son is autistic, and I know firsthand how amazing the work they do is for mothers and families like me."

Sailor Jerry, the iconic Spiced Rum, today announced it will partner with popular Miami watering holes Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, Sandbar Grill and Blackbird Ordinary to host a celebration to commemorate the life of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, the father of the old school tattooing and the inspiration behind the rum brand itself. Recognized as “Sailor Jerry Day,” June 12th is the date Collins passed away in 1973. If Collins was alive today, he would be turning 102 years old this year.

To mark the occasion, drink specials will be available on Sailor Jerry cocktails such as the Backyard Tea (Arnold Palmer with Sailor Jerry) and Sailor Moons (shot of Sailor Jerry in a Blue Moon beer) at participating locations  throughout the evening. Fans will also be invited to join a hula hoop contest at Brother Jimmy’s BBQ for a chance to win a Sailor Jerry duffle bag filled with Sailor Jerry goodies.

Born January 14th 1911, Norman Collins was a hard living, tough Navy sea dog who set up a tattoo shop in Honolulu in the 1930’s. Over the next 40 years, he carved out a unique style that would change the face of tattooing forever.  Perfecting a deftly crafted, boldly lined style that blended American design and traditions with Asiatic coloring and sensibilities, the iconic “Sailor Jerry” tattoo has become one of the most recognizable icons of Americana, representing an authentic attitude and spirit of rebellion. Collins also revolutionized the industry by advocating for regulated standards of sterilization and sanitation that are still met in modern day tattoo shops.
