Collins Canal Centennial Celebration 
Saturday November 3, 2012, 10am
The Bandshell, on the Canal
Washington Avenue and 21st Street
Miami Beach.
Rain location: the 21st St. Recreation Center next door.
Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) and the Collins Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA) present an all-day family event to celebrate the 100th Birthday of the Collins Canal in Miami Beach. Get ready to party like it’s 1912!
Period costume is encouraged, and please decorate your bike or boat! Boaters please see info below. Transit: You can reach the event area on Miami-Dade busses C,L,M,S or 120 to Collins Ave. & 23rd St.; bus 115/117 to Dade Blvd.; or the South Beach Local 25¢ bus to Collins Park. Parking: Miami Beach High School, on Dade Blvd. at Washington Ave. (PENDING) The event gets underway at 10am with ongoing music performances, food vendors, kids’ activities, and guided walking tours by MDPL hourly from 11am to 3 pm.
Since Miami Beach pioneer John Collins originally built the Canal to transport his avocado crops, there will be a class on raising avocados at 10 am at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, on the Canal one block west of the Bandshell.
Kids’ activities at the site will include face painting, a scavenger hunt, and a crafts table. The Miami Beach Regional Library nearby at 227 22nd St. will have Video Gaming for teens from11am to 3pm, and Storytelling for toddlers at 3 pm.
John Collins is expected to drop by the Library at 2 pm! Official ceremony at the Bandshell starts at 4 pm with a talk by John Collins followed by a City Proclamation, Birthday cake, and musical finale by SoBe Institute of the Arts (SoBe Arts). All activities are free, except for food vendors. Boaters: The Canal is a wonderful place to canoe, kayak, or paddleboard! It is not officially part of the event site, but runs alongside it.
The Canal is a public waterway and, as always, boating here is at one’s own risk. Please do not bring jet-skis or other motorcraft! We want this to be a safe & fun experience for kids and everyone else. Besides, it’s a manatee zone. Also, we cannot be responsible for securing your watercraft, so please bring your own locking device if you will be going ashore.
The Canal is about 1 ¼ miles long, from its inlet on Biscayne Bay (just south of the Venetian Causeway) running northeasterly along Dade Boulevard to its outlet on Lake Pancoast, at the south end of Indian Creek. It’s about 40 ft. wide (narrowed by vegetation), a few feet deep, and there are seven bridges with overhead clearance of 4-6 ft. There is unknown debris on the bottom; so wading shoes are a good idea. Tides are fairly strong in the Canal. On Nov. 3 the current will be coming in from the Bay (eastbound) from 5:30 am to about noon, then flowing out again (westbound) from noon to 5:45 pm. Decide how much of a challenge you want! Rentals of canoes, kayaks, and boards are available at South Beach Kayak at 1771 Purdy Ave., near the Bay (southbeachkayak@hotmail.com 305-332-2853). At the other end of the Canal on Lake Pancoast, Beach Boat Rentals (2400 Collins Ave., 305-674-9300) has kayaks and paddleboards and is closer to the event site. Rentals do not come with locks, so bring one if you want to go ashore. Launching: At the west end of the Canal, there is a public launch ramp at the Miami Beach Marine Patrol in Maurice Gibb Park, on the Bay just north of the Venetian Causeway (Purdy Ave & 18th St.). There is a metered parking lot there, and also nearby is the brand-new Sunset Harbor Municipal Garage at 1900 Bay Road. There is also a launch site at the far west end of Lincoln Road, just south of the Canal. Launching at Lake Pancoast, at the east end of the Canal (Collins Ave. & 24th St.) is also easy, and a City parking lot is two blocks away, on 23rd St. There is a small landing platform on the Canal behind the Botanical Garden, just east of Meridian Avenue.

Bobby V: R&B sensation, Bobby V, released his self-titled debut album in 2005 on Ludacris’s Disturbing Tha Peace/Island Def Jam label which reached #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. The success of his album can be largely attributed to his single, “Slow Down,†which spent four consecutive weeks at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Bobby V has collaborated with several Grammy award winning artists, such as Lil Wayne on “Mrs. Officer†and Ludacris on “Pimpin’ All Over the World.â€
Lil Scrappy: Def Jam recording artist, Lil Scrappy, is best known for his hit singles, “Money In the Bank,†and “No Problem†which both reached the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. He is currently the star of the popular VH1 reality show, “Love & Hip-Hop†which will be filming live during the event.
Noreaga aka N.O.R.E: Rap legend, Noreaga, started off his career as part of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga. His status as a legend was earned when his solo albums “N.O.R.E†and “God’s Favorite†both reached platinum status and the #3 spot on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. His hit “Nothin’†reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became N.O.R.E.’s highest charting single.
Pleasure P: Before embarking on a successful solo career in 2007, Pleasure P experienced great acclaim as a member of the group, Pretty Ricky. His upcoming album is titled “Marcus Cooper†and is scheduled to be released later this year. This will be the first album off of his new record deal withE1 Music.
Shifta: Shifta’s sound can be best described as Caribbean fusion, a distinctive blend of Miami house mixed with Jamaican dance hall. Shifta has been on the road touring across the nation; KPAT, KBFM, KHTT, and WHYI are just a few of the stations that became early believers and added Shifta to the lineup. Shifta’s track “Live It Up†reached #75 on the National Rhythmic Chart.

James Bond turns 50 and it has sparked a fevered pitch around the world and no one is immune! Not even her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth. As we can all remember, this year’s Olympics opening ceremony was all about James Bond escorting the Queen of England out of a helicopter and parachuting into the stadium. Here in the US, we are also catching the fever with the welcomed release of the newest addition to the best selling movie franchise in history with “Sky Fallâ€. Countless events throughout all the major cities are slated to bring the fever to an all time high.
The Dezer Collection will do it like no one else in the world can!
The Dezer Collection’s James Bond Experience on November 9, 2012 at 7pm, will welcome die-hard fans to a reception filled with an endless flow of “Shaken Not Stirred†martinis by Russian Standard and served with a KGB smile from the Russian Standard girls. Delectable, globetrotting canapés will be spied and served by Celebrity Chef Adrianne Calvo.
Caviar treats reminiscent of black market treats will be sampled as a few privileged guests get to walk among the largest collection of James Bond cars and memorabilia, including the original “Golden Gunâ€.
All the spies in attendance will be able to view the trailer as they enjoy the reception, only to be kidnapped and shuttled to an undisclosed private theater to walk the red carpet, take pictures with the latest addition to the Bond Exhibit and watch the new premier of the “Skyfall†movie.
All those present will be the first witnesses to the unveiling of the new additions.
The James Bond series wouldn’t have been the same without the cars, guns and gadgets utilized on-screen by the beloved secret agent. Constituting one of the largest collections of James Bond props and vehicles in the world, the Dezer Collection’s James Bond exhibition is valued at over $15 million and includes a fascinating array of automobiles, motorcycles, submarines, airplanes, helicopters, boats, and snow mobiles. The collection is the largest James Bond Exhibit and home to the “Golden Gun†itself, a T-55 Soviet tank featured in the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye, a BD-5 Microjet, six Aston Martins, and many more.
The Dezer Collection is an automotive collection spanning a century of cars from Ford Model “T†to the latest in Hollywood cars. “Hollywood Cars of the Stars†showcases some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films and television shows of all time.
Don’t miss out on the action by purchasing tickets to the “James Bond Experience†before they sell out!

The Blacksmith Saloon Grand Opening 
Friday, September 28 at 9:00 PM
The Well
444 41st street
Miami Beach, FL
For tableside cocktail reservations call 305-397-8444
The Grand Opening will feature complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from 9:00-11:00.
From the skilled tradesmen behind Dining Room and OLA comes The Blacksmith Saloon, a cocktail bar and live music venue open only on Fridays starting September 28. Once a week, The Blacksmith will take over The Well, bringing in their own staff, décor and no-frills attitude to the Miami Beach night scene.
The Blacksmith is the answer to what many Miami locals have long been waiting for: a venue that features great cocktails, live music and quality bites without the typical South Beach fuss. The 4000 square foot, 2-room venue features dark wood, dim lighting, and comfortable living room seating. The Tiffany Room is lit by a larger than life stained glass ceiling and rounded out by a stage designed for live music. The White Elephant Room will feature the first of its kind DIY American Whiskey Bar where guests are invited to order one of three classic whiskey cocktails and design it themselves by selecting the components with the help of a professional barman.
Don’t feel like going to the bar? No problem – the bar will come to you. In addition to the whiskey bar, The Blacksmith will have tableside cocktail cart service. For a minimum spend of $50 per person, table seating is available whereby attendees can order their drinks directly from the mobile bar traveling around the room. Think table-side guacamole, but instead of avocado there will be liquor and in place of a busboy with a mustache, a professional bartender with a mustache will be at your service.
If one prefers the old-fashioned way of ordering a cocktail, a saloon-inspired cocktail menu will present some of the most innovate cocktails in Miami. Adding to his growing list of successful cocktail programs, Miami’s favorite bartender Chris Hudnall has once again raised the bar with the creation of The Blacksmith’s drinks menu. Cocktails include Cactus Cooler: Michters Rye, Cactus Wine, Maple Honey, Lemon, Orange – Rocks ($12); Oh Earl: Martin Millers Gin (Earl Grey Tea Infused), Cocci, Honey, Lime, Herbs – Rocks ($12); and Blacksmith Flip: Gran Sierpe Pisco, Mandarine Napoléon, Champagne, Cream, Sugar, Nutmeg – Flute ($12).
For live music, local musician Buffalo Brown has customized The Blacksmith’s house band to complement the space. The 6-piece group will play jazzy rock covers in the Tiffany Room equipped with female singers, an upright bass player and a horn section. As the nights go on as will the tunes. Every other week, The Blacksmith will invite up-and-coming local music acts to grace the stage.
To enliven the palate, a small plates menu ($12/item), created by Food and Wine Magazines Best New Chef in the Gulf Region Chef Horacio Rivadero (The Dining Room, OLA), will be available. Dishes include Filet Mignon Skewers with red beet chimichuri; Florida Gulf Shrimp Ceviche with pink grapefruit, black peppercorns, and pink sea salt; and a Chorizo Corndog with fresh ground mustard. Guests may also select from various vegetarian options.

Caribe Arts Fest is organized by the American Art Initiative, this South Florida based organization is focused on creating avenues for artists to share their mediums while developing personal and business sustainability and viability. They do not believe in or support the “starving artist†cliché and as such work to promote arts and culture, empower artists, highlight artistic expression while advocating for and supporting entrepreneurship and economies of scale. As such, we use the term “artrepreneurship†which mean the development of business skills to continue creative expression. We are a resource for artists and art aficionados; bridging business with creativity of all mediums.
I always heard about the Venue magazine parties but never had the privilege to attend one until Sept. 22 when the opportunity came to me. It was humid out but that did not stop me. I have been to Bamboo two times before but forgot how a good club this is. Stars from the Spanish entertainment world lined up the red carpet for this magazine launch cover party. I knew some of them but not all as during the Spanish soap opera hours I am out covering other events.
Beautiful actresses and handsome actors from the TV world posed for photos and were available for interviews. A deluxe goody bag was given to everyone that walked the red carpet and later all the stars had a special section at Bamboo Nightclub. Into the night, the club was getting filled up while specialty cocktails and appetizers were the talk of the night.
Dancing with the stars and spanish Soap opera actor, William Levy made his appearance but I could not find him after he walked the red carpet. A dance performance went underway while the DJ spinned awesome tunes and got the crowd pumped.
It was a wonderful night and can’t wait until the next one!
Photographs by John Christie of the Grand Opening of McCormick Place on Friday, September 7, 2012.  The venue featured exterior murals by South Florida artists Stephen Gamson and Eleazar Delgado as well as Ai Miami International University of Art & Design.   The grand opening of the McCormick Place was in conjunction with the Miami City Ballet’s Upper Room Season Opening Party and the DWNTWN Art Days. There was art, exotic cars, music by DJ Pabel Lima, Life is Art, performances by Cirque X, Cupcake Burlesque and food trucks Firewall Food Truck and Miami Spice Grill and wonderful massages by Freshly Squeezed.  Have to give thanks to the rum and vodka sponsors, El Dorado Rums and UV Vodka courtesy of AMC Liaisons.
“The original building, constructed in 1924, was first a US Customs Warehouse serving as storage of confiscated goods and look-out post for the nefarious characters coming into Miami via the Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. The property was purchased in 1970 by Edward J McCormick, Sr. and dedicated to his father, Dr. James McCormick. Now, three generations later, Sean McCormick is not only reviving this venue but the Downtown area, creating the epicenter for the cultural crossroads of Miami. McCormick Place is a vibrant production based event space with rotating art from local Miami artists.”

The Great Grove Bed Race – 2012 
Sunday, September 2, 2012 , 1:00 pm
Coconut Grove Village Streets
www.thegreatgrovebedrace.com
Get Your Sheet Together:
‘Great Grove Bed Race’ set for Sept. 2
Box springs do battle at tongue-in-cheek Coconut Grove PJ-party tradition dating back 30 years; register at TheGreatGroveBedRace.com—it’s gonna be bed-lam!
In the mood for some mattress mayhem? Perhaps even a little bed-on collision? Then set your alarm for Labor Day Weekend and don’t hit snooze—you’ll lose. There’s no bedside manner required for this pajama party that’ll shake you out of your slumber and have you shedding your slippers and rippin’ your one-sies. This, Sleeping Cutie, is your wake-up call for the 2012 Great Grove Bed Race.
A tongue-in-cheek competition of racing homemade beds down the streets of Coconut Grove, the origins of the Great Grove Bed Race date back three decades. Tireless teams consist of five members—call it a “five-wayâ€â€”with four ready-to-romp racers and 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 (this being a consummate competition). 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 Local charities through the Junior Chamber International Crew of hundreds of cone-head volunteers.
Miami residents, Coconut Grove merchants, and local clubs, businesses and organizations all are invited to pull back the sheets on this year’s affair, with festivities kicking off Saturday night (Sept. 1) of Labor Day Weekend with the Michelob Ultra Pajama Pub Crawl through participating Coconut Grove bars and restaurants.
Sunday (Sept. 2) is race day, with highlights to include Pit Row Parade of decorated beds on display; and of course the 1/8th-mile trundle through the heart of the Grove Village. And to eliminate any awkwardness or hard feelings after the on-track tryst, Grove merchants will host a post-race celebration complete with live music, interactive exhibits and perhaps even a little pillow talk—just no sleeping with the enemy…maybe….
This Labor Day Weekend, Coconut Grove is the place to be for some laborious laughter. For event info—and to register to create your own bedlam—visit TheGreatGroveBedRace.com. Don’t sleep on it!
The Great Grove Bed Race is produced by the Grove Merchant Group. The Grove Merchant Group welcomes visitors and patrons to enjoy the tree-lined streets of Coconut Grove while branding the neighborhood as an attractive and viable village.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Reception will be honoring one of the world’s most important thinker, politician, educator and scholar, Kong Zi, (aka Confucius).
Born in 551 BC, in Qufu, Shandong Province, China, Confucius is known for his development of the concept of Confucianism (“Ru Jiaâ€) which focuses upon cultivating kindness, courteousness, benevolent rule and personal responsibility as the basis for society.
Confucius’ concepts and body of work has had an enormous influence on the development of philosophy, civilian and governmental structure, religious institutions, and even the military.
In recent years, Confucius’ ideas about how to achieve a harmonious and just society has gained a huge up surge in global interest. Few people, in human history has had as much of a profound influence upon the development of human civilization, as has, Confucius.
Mid-Autumn is a traditional time for family gatherings in China, so there could be no better time for the entire South Florida family to come together and enjoy delicious chinese mooncake and celebrate the life, work and ideas of Confucius.
Come and join the Chinese Consulate General of China, Mayors of Miami, Doral, North Miami Beach, Senators, Members of Congress, and representatives of Chinese associations at the Mid-Autumn Festival Reception Honoring Confucius.
Since it’s inception, in 1992, as a non-profit organization, the South Florida Shandong Association has become the leading organization in South Florida focused on increasing economic, cultural and social ties between South Florida and one of China’s top economic, social and cultural regions, Shandong Province.
The delegation from the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China will be led by Consul General Xu Erwen. The Consulate General is committed to promote the exchanges and cooperation between China and the southern United States in all fields, to deepen the understanding and friendship between Chinese and American peoples, to protect the rights and benefits of Chinese citizens, and to provide consular services to overseas Chinese in our consular districts and all visitors to China.

Celebrate the Sex Appeal of the Summer Olympics with the Release of Girls Who Score: Hot Lesbian Erotica
Miami-based Ily Goyanes, writer, editor, publisher, and filmmaker, has done it again. With the release of her latest anthology, Girls Who Score: Hot Lesbian Erotica, she not only pushes the envelope — she tears it open! Available now at top booksellers such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon, Ily Goyanes is set to celebrate the release of Girls Who Score on Thursday, August 30, 2012.
Published by Cleis Press, a leading publisher of BDSM and romance erotica, Girls Who Score features stories written by some of the most popular erotica writers around, including award-wining authors Delilah Devlin and Sacchi Green. Girls Who Score satisfies with story after story of lesbian athletes getting hot and sweaty on and off the field.
“Each of the sixteen stories in GWS plays up the sexuality of female athletes. Women who play sports have an easy confidence about them, a natural nonchalance, and usually a killer bod, that draws all kinds of women to them — straight, bisexual, lesbian, curious, questioning — you name it,” Goyanes says about her latest publication.

Honoring the love and concern Rebecca had for the people of Cambodia, the foundation also supports charities that provide housing, education and health care for children and young women in that country.

Witness the renewal of the 28th Annual White Party, as we hit RESET for the Crown Jewel of HIV/AIDS fundraisers and the White Party Week
It all begins Thanksgiving Week. As Miami recovers from not one but two Madonna MDNA concerts, White Party Week tradition continues its 28th year fighting HIV and AIDS. The White Party “crown jewel†event explodes on Saturday, November 24th inside the Soho Studio at the Wynwood convention center in Miami’s transformational design district with 2,500 men dressed — partially at least — in white dancing to DJ Danny Verde. Suddenly, the DJ stops the music and the curtain on the stage rises to reveal 50 white android male models. A silver-dominatrix-drag queen princess in a 24-foot headdress lashes out at the crowd with long fingers made of lasers. Reset, reboot, recharge and let the White Party begin!
Purchase your VIP ticket and arrive early at 9pm for a private invitation only VIP cocktail reception and fashion show featuring some of the hottest and most daring fashions of our time.
Tickets and passes are on sale now for the entire week of events and have been significantly reduced for those purchasing early.
Complimentary drinks are included with each ticket category.

Each year, the City Beautiful Awards celebrate the aesthetic beauty and singular charm found only in Coral Gables. Sponsored by the City of Coral Gables and presented in partnership with the Chamber, the City Beautiful Awards are presented by the Chamber each year to celebrate the most outstanding examples of architectural achievement among our commercial properties.

This year’s award ceremony will also honor Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre with the Outstanding Historic Preservation Award. The theatre is one of the leading regional performing arts companies and serves as a center of community cultural activity.
“Actors’ Playhouse is thrilled to be part of a model private/public partnership with the City of Coral Gables, owner of The Miracle Theatre, and to have renovated and restored the historic facility into a three-stage perforating arts center in downtown Coral Gables. One of Miami-Dade County’s 22 major cultural institutions, and the producer of award-winning theatre for adults and children, the rebirth of the Miracle Theater in 1995 saved the historic site from being sold to big box retail and was the major catalyst for the redevelopment of the downtown district,†said Barbara Stein, Co-founder & Executive Producing Director of Actors’ Playhouse.
“Each year, it is our Chamber’s distinct honor to recognize outstanding commercial buildings in our City Beautiful,†said Mark A. Trowbridge, president & CEO of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. “Coral Gables has always been a leader in architectural design and is renowned for its charm and sophistication – and we believe it is our duty to recognize the best of the best among our commercial properties!â€
The City Beautiful Award has previously been bestowed on such outstanding commercial properties such as: University of Miami – Newman Alumni Center for Outstanding Exterior Design; Coral Gables Country Club for Outstanding Historic Preservation, and Seasons 52 for Outstanding Restaurant/Dining Room.
The Good Morning Coral Gables breakfast will also feature keynote speaker Elise Vasquez-Warner, Regional Manager & Vice President of South Florida at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Historic campaign seeks to greatly enhance programs and services for pets and pet owners in Miami-Dade County
The Pets’ Trust will host a special campaign kick-off and fundraiser to mark an unprecedented effort to help save the lives of thousands of animals and assist our community’s pet owners. Miami-Dade Animal Services takes in more than 36,000 dogs and cats every year and kills more than 20,000 healthy pets annually. It is estimated that more than 400,000 stray cats roam the streets of Miami-Dade County. This initiative aims to perform up to 100,000 spay and neuter surgeries compared to the 15,000 performed now by the County, as well as to provide educational programs and low-cost veterinary care for residents.
Pets’ Trust Miami is a legislation initiative that will create a dedicated source of funding for proactive and preventive programs to reduce pet overpopulation with the goal of ending the annual killing of 20,000 adoptable dogs and cats at our County’s public shelter and controlling the population growth of 416,000+ stray cats living on our streets.

Aaayyy! Meet Henry Winkler The Fonz and Play to Win His Motorcycle from Happy Days at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
August 25, 2012, 9 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
5550 NW 40th Street
Coconut Creek, FL 33073
seminolecasinococonutcreek.com
Aaayyy! Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is giving you a chance to win a slice of pure Americana – Fonzie’s 1949 Triumph Trophy TRS from the popular ‘70s hit sitcom Happy Days, on Aug. 25. Henry Winkler, a.k.a. “The Fonz,†will be on-hand from 9 p.m. – 11 p.m. to meet and greet players, and help award his iconic bike to one lucky grand prize winner who will ride off with the treasured piece of pop culture.
For an entire generation, leather-clad Fonzie and his show-stopping motorcycle embodied everything cool and collected. Arthur “Fonzie†Fonzarelli, a charismatic greaser and auto mechanic, was originally a secondary character on Happy Days but eventually became the lead after achieving sensational popularity from viewers. From his trademark stamp of approval, “Aaayyy,†to his dissatisfaction retort of “Sit on it,†his likeness and phrases graced everything from t-shirts to lunchboxes. In 1999, TV Guide ranked him number four on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list.
Fonzie’s 1949 Triumph Trophy TRS motorcycle was provided by stuntman and Triumph dealer Bud Ekins, who removed the front fender, painted the fuel tank silver and changed the handlebars. A significant entry into American history, The Fonz’s pride ‘n’ joy is currently on display at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, while his brown leather bomber jacket hangs in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
Players can swipe their player’s card daily for a chance to win, and receive one free entry for every 50 slot points earned or every $200 wagered on tables, excluding Stax Poker Lounge, beginning Aug. 1 at 7 a.m. On Aug. 25, 10 winners will be randomly selected and given an envelope each hour from 9 p.m. – 11 p.m. Two “finalist†envelopes will be given every hour, which will give that player a chance to return for the final drawing at 11 p.m. Each finalist will receive a leather jacket with a key attached, and only one will open the lock to win Fonzie’s motorcycle. Finalists whose keys do not open the lock will receive $1,000 in free play.
In addition to The Fonz, more of your favorite cast members from Happy Days will “rock around the clock†at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek during August. Don’t miss your chance to meet Anson Williams (Warren “Potsie†Weber) on Aug. 9 and Donny Most (Ralph Malph) on Aug. 16 who will both be signing autographs and greeting fans from 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Williams, known simply as “Potsie,†was loved for his gullible but well-intentioned manner and was an enthusiastic singer. After Happy Days, he began a prolific career as a television director, starting with short programs for adolescent-age children. He has also directed many episodes for a variety of television shows, including Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Charmed.
Most portrayed Ralph Malph, a practical joker who was best known for his famous catchphrase “I still got it!†Following his role as a regular cast member on Happy Days, he has appeared in other film and television work including EDtv, CHiPs, Baywatch, The Love Boat, Sliders, Star Trek: Voyager, Diagnosis Murder and Glee. He also made an appearance on Charles in Charge, alongside his former Happy Days co-star, Scott Baio.

This month marks the 40 year anniversary of the Ramon Puig brand here in South Florida. Established by the now late Mr. Puig, the legacy continues with his son Louis Puig. The reputable and world famous clothing brand will not only celebrate four decades of style, but also a new location this Thursday June 28th 2012, from 6:00-9:00PM. The festivities will highlight the revamped brand via a by-invitation Grand Opening of the new Downtown Miami store location and include a presentation by Mayor Tomas Regalado.
Ramon Puig opened his first guayabera store in Cuba in 1943, in the ancestral home of the garment, Sancti Espiritus, the city of his birth. Since he was a child, Puig showed an interest in tailoring and once of age, he learned and developed his skills under a local tailor, and opened up his first shop at the age of twenty-three. Soon after, he married a local woman, Juana MarÃa, and taught her the skills he had developed so she could assist him in his burgeoning business.
His attention to detail, cut, and style soon led customers all over Cuba, the Caribbean and South America to coin him “el mago de guayabera” (The Guayabera Magician). The guayabera shirts he designed made of crisp white linen, slimmed customers’ waistlines and added to their appearance a look of elegance. As his reputation grew, Puig drove to the major cities in Cuba to take client’s measurements, and then made the return trip to personally deliver his custom fitted guayaberas.
In 1968, Puig departed his country and arrived in Miami, with his wife Juana MarÃa and his then eight-year old son, Louis. In 1971 Puig was able to open his first shop in Little Havana, next to Versailles restaurant and thereafter a larger one, further west on Southwest eight street. Rapidly making connections in Miami’s Cuban and Latin community, he built his business into an International success with client celebrities, actors, athletes and musicians such as Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Andy Garcia, Alex Rodriguez, Alonzo Mourning, Ice Cube as well as every US President since Ronald Reagan who began sporting Puig’s authentic guayaberas. Reagan toured Miami wearing Puig’s garments and rechristened “El Mago de las Guayaberas” as “El Rey de las Guayaberas” (The King of the Guayaberas).
Due to the precision folds, cuts, and attention to detail, the Ramon Puig Guayabera has become synonymous with cool. The comfortable and versatile garment, appropriate for business meetings, social gatherings, family events, and daily casual- wear gained current day popularity. Maintaining traditional value of their ancestral homelands, the younger Miami sector, being the pulse of fashion, has embraced Puig’s authentic garments as the style for social activities, including nights out on the town at Miami’s trendiest spots, and even as a fashion for wedding ceremonies, with “guayabera weddings” becoming the recent trend in the nuptial scene.
This uptake of the guayabera into the fashion world has led to renowned publications like GQ Magazine to name Ramon Puig “the master of the guayabera” and the “greatest guayabera maker”. Beginning on June 28th, an exhibit at History Miami will pay homage via â€The Guayabera: A Shirt’s Storyâ€. This exhibit will explore the changing uses and significance of the guayabera and the guayabera’s evolution from a guajiro shirt in the late 1800s, into a fashionable piece of contemporary menswear. On display will be historical examples and photographs of the shirt that highlight its changing uses and significance over time, its construction and the tailors, fashion designers and tradition bearers who have played an important role in its stylistic development. Puig’s scissors which he smuggled out of Cuba and his original 1940’s guayabera will also be on display.
Today, Louis Puig is carrying the legacy of his father. “We must embrace the past and understand the direction of the future in order to be successful. We have added updated styles, fabrics and colors to further expand our existent inventory and please our wide customer base. This new store exemplifies the new direction we are taking our brand while remaining true to the dedication and pride my father had for his craft. For almost 70 years we have made the best and most authentic guayaberas in the world, I am proud to continue my father’s legacy.â€

Stoli Hot and Sticki Miami Launch Party
Tuesday, June 19, 9PM
Chalk Ping Pong & Billiards Lounge
1234 Washington Ave
Miami Beach, FL
Guests must RSVP to RSVP@chalkmiami.com in order to take advantage of the gratis cocktails.
The official Miami launch party for Stoli vodka’s new Stoli HOT & Stoli Sticki flavors. First released in NYC on April 10, 2012, the two flavors are remixes on Pertsovka (Pepper) and Okhotnichya (Honey and Herb), the first flavored vodkas ever commercially produced by Stolichnaya® in 1962, and will now bring its talented new flavours to South Beach.
The official Miami launch party will feature complimentary Stoli Hot & Sticki cocktails, a Hot & Sticki-based mixology competition featuring a variety of Miami’s best bartenders, and a public ping-pong tournament with fabulous prizes courtesy of Chalk and Stoli Vodka.
This spring, Stolichnaya® Premium vodka celebrates 50 years of pioneering the flavored vodka category by introducing Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Sticki™. Remixes on Pertsovka (Pepper) and Okhotnichya (Honey and Herb), the first flavored vodkas ever commercially produced by Stolichnaya® in 1962, Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Sticki™ offer a perfect balance of sweet and heat.
Stoli® Hot offers the warm, fiery sensation of jalapeño peppers found on the bottle’s label and is the only jalapeño flavored vodka with significant mouth-heat. It is spicy on the palate yet has a delicate smoky quality. By contrast, Stoli® Sticki™ is inspired by the candied, warm palate of the finest honey and has the added complexity of discernible floral notes that complement the subtle sweetness of its flavor profile.
“In 1962 Stoli® pioneered the flavored vodka category in the industry launching the first two commercially produced flavors in the marketplace. Today, Stoli® is debuting an original remix on those classic flavors with Hot and Sticki™, which offer a cool, modern interpretation of the first flavors from Stoli® †said Lisa Pfenning, Category Director – Stolichnaya®, William Grant & Sons.
The brand developed unique packaging for the new flavors with a glistening honeycomb adorning the bottle neck and cap of Stoli® Sticki™, and flames that blaze up the side of Stoli® Hot’s bottle neck and cap. On the label, Stoli® Sticki™ features a dipper dripping with golden honey while Stoli® Hot has a label illustrated with crimson and deep green jalapeno peppers. In a departure from the tradition of naming flavors after their taste profile, “Hot†and “Sticki™†are fun and contemporary riffs that represent the mood of each flavor.
“The brand is thrilled to reintroduce pepper and honey flavored vodkas, Hot and Stickiâ„¢. These spirited and timeless remixes are the perfect complement to our existing premium flavored vodka portfolio,†added Val Mendeleev, CEO of SPI Group. “We hope our fans will enjoy these delicious and versatile offerings in a variety of mixed drinks.â€
Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Stickiâ„¢ will be introduced in April, 2012 with nationwide distribution available in 50mL ($2.49 – $2.99), 375mL ($12.99 – $15.99), 750mL (SRP $23.99), 1L (SRP $31.99), 1.75mL (SRP $41.49) sizes. In addition to Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Stickiâ„¢, the Stolichnaya® Flavored Premium vodka portfolio currently includes Chocolat Razberiâ„¢, White Pomegranikâ„¢, Ohranjâ„¢, Blueberiâ„¢, Razberiâ„¢, Vanilâ„¢, Citrosâ„¢, Cranberiâ„¢, Peachikâ„¢, Strasberiâ„¢, Gala Applikâ„¢, and Wild Cherriâ„¢.
Both Stoli® Hot and Stoli® Sticki™ take a premium cocktail to the next level by adding an exceptional layer of flavor resulting in a truly sophisticated and nuanced drink. The flavors are delicious as a straight shot, combined for a sweet and spicy shooter, or as part of a great cocktail.

Competitor Robyn Almodovar Hosts Live Viewing Party For Episode Four of Fox network’s Hell Kitchen
Tuesday, June 12th
Happy Hour 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Serving from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Live Broadcast of “Hell’s Kitchen†8 p.m. – 9 p.m.

626 S. Miami Ave.
Miami, FL 33130

Local chef Robyn Almodovar has been turning up the heat on Season 10 of “Hell’s Kitchen†since its debut on June 4th. As one of the 16 contestants still left on the chopping block, Almodovar will host a live viewing party from her food truck “Palate Party†at Tobacco Road on Tuesday, June 11th.
Guests will enjoy live entertainment from Iko- Iko front man Graham Wood Drout, a Tobacco Road staple for more than 29 years, happy hour drink specials starting at $2 from 4 p.m. to 7p.m., and an opportunity to mix and mingle with the Almodovar while she serves up fan favorites of soft shell crab ($12), meatball sliders ($8) and garlic truffle fries ($3).
Almodovar’s popular food truck Palate Party, which promises to be a “party in your mouth every timeâ€, was recently voted the #3 food truck in South Florida. The first food truck equipped with an actual stage, Palate Party has been custom outfitted with LED lights, a flat screen television and a culinary arsenal worthy of Gordon Ramsay himself.
Coming from a half Puerto Rican, half Italian background, Robyn Almodovar’s childhood was filled with culture, vibrancy and a deeply ingrained passion for food. The Le Cordon Bleu graduate worked at several respectable restaurants in South Florida including The Forge and Danny Devito’s Devito South Beach before obtaining an Executive Sous Chef position at the Royal Palm Hotel. However, she still felt she was missing that “HEAT†in the kitchen so she purchased a 24’ food truck and founded “Palate Partyâ€, a fresh mobile food café that utilizes locally sourced ingredients.
Considered Miami’s Oldest Bar, Tobacco Road remains virtually unchanged since its inception in the early 1900s. While ownership has changed, the primary purpose of the establishment – a neighborhood watering hole – has always been the same. Tobacco Road features an amazing menu of house-smoked specialties, award-winning burgers and cuisine that goes way beyond bar food. The Tobacco Road kitchen is open daily from noon to 1:30am.

Seminole Casino Hollywood

www.seminolehollywoodcasino.com
Having just opened his new restaurant, Flavor Flav’s House of Flavor, in Las Vegas, rapper and television personality Flavor Flav will visit Seminole Casino Hollywood on Saturday, June 16 from 5 – 8 p.m. for a free fan meet and greet.
Group passes will be issued starting at 4 p.m. for Seminole Player’s Club members to have their photo taken with Flav, plus get his personal autograph on a casino- provided photograph. Joining the club is free, fast and easy, and all members will be eligible to win a 2012 Mustang coupe. The meet and greet will take place in the smoke-free event pavilion; must be 21 or older. The celebrity restaurateur’s fried chicken will even be featured on the casino’s buffet that day.
Born William Jonathan Drayton, Jr. in Roosevelt, Long Island, NY, Flavor Flav rose to fame in 1982 with the controversial hip-hop group, Public Enemy. He’s been credited with popularizing the role of the “hype man†who punctuates key lyrics and shout outs for audience participation. In Public Enemy, Flav is the back-up to Chuck D. A new CD is expected in August.
Though known for his outlandishness — including wearing a large clock around his neck, flashing gold teeth, and starring in several VH1 reality shows (The Surreal Life, Strange Love and Flavor of Love) — Flav was a young musical prodigy. He taught himself piano at five years old, sang in his family church youth choir and mastered numerous other instruments. In 2006, he recorded his first solo album, Flavor Flav – Hollywood.
