THE BEACH CHRONICLES – HALLOWEEN EVE GALA
The Hotel Victor and Select Vodka are thrilled to be hosting the much highly anticipated Beach Chronicles Halloween Eve Gala to be held Friday, October 30th at 8:00 p.m. at the stunning Hotel Victor rooftop. Guests will be spoiled with complimentary Cherry Redding Select Vodka cocktails and hors’douerves from the famed Vix restaurant. The Hotel Victor outdoor veranda will certainly set the pace for what is surely to be the sexiest Halloween event to hit Miami Beach. Look for the fashion forward and cult following of The Beach Chronicles to come dressed in some of the most avant-garde costumes on this Halloween eve.

The Beach Chronicles has created tremendous buzz by incorporating fashion, local socialites, and high profile Miamians into the actual fabric of this animated series. “We have gone to great lengths to include people and landmarks familiar to Miami to ensure the authenticity of the story. The Hotel Victor serves as a centerpiece and makes it the perfect host venue” says co-creator Kevin Sharpley. Emerging designers abound in creating the costumes The Beach Chronicles characters are now famous for; 50’s mod with a modern twist is the overriding theme. “I couldn’t be more excited to see my dresses on The Beach Chronicles’ character, Cherry. It’s sexy, it’s current, and it’s Miami!” exclaims celebrated emerging designer Jason Louis Studnicky. “I think the clothes and the amazing art deco buildings of South Beach are what make The Beach Chronicles so incredible”, gushes actor Jimmy Jean Louis of the hit TV series Heroes and voice of The Beach Chronicles character Jacques Jean Jilles. This event will be a celebration of Miami fashion represented in The Beach Chronicles series as well as an opportunity for attendees to express themselves in their favorite costume of mystery and seduction.

South Beach and the word sexy have become synonymous and the Hotel Victor, The Beach Chronicle and Select Vodka will serve as a testament to that well earned reputation. Expect the evening to be peppered with the “whose who” of Miami Beach society dawned in their Halloween’s best, all in the spirit of our most beloved excuse to get dressed up; Halloween.

ART DECO GALLERY
Friday 17 April 7:00 pm

OPENING RECEPTION FOR FROM MIAMI WITH LOVE
Some of the earliest pioneers in the rediscovery and renovation of Miami Beach’s Art Deco buildings in the 1980s and 90s were gay artists and designers. Having found inexpensive work and living spaces, they were inspired by the dazzling tropical light and growing diversity of South Beach to create art expressing homoerotic themes.

The exhibition From Miami With Love includes works by some of these local artists, as well as from gay artists worldwide. The exhibit has been organized by the Cultural Center of Spain (CCE), as a part of a traveling contemporary art show entitled Historias de Amor (Love Stories), a selection of more than 50 pieces from Colección Visible, a Spanish foundation that has been working for years in creating a gay-oriented art collection. The foundation’s objective is to create a gay art museum in Spain where works by the most relevant 20th Century artists could be presented, and to highlight the role of homosexuals in contemporary art.

In addition to the exhibit, CCE and Hardcore will offer several parallel activities to the 2009 Miami Beach Gay Pride, including the special preview of the Spanish musical “Tómbola” by Marisol, at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, a Spanish gay film series, and a roundtable for gay activists and experts in contemporary art on the importance of art in the fight for homosexual rights to be held in the Bass Museum.

The exhibit will be open weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm until the end of April. Free admission.

Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach
Information: 305-672-2014 or www.miamibeachgaypride.com

Cine Florida

The First Annual Miami Latin Gay Film Festival has been announced to make its premiere engagement April 16-19, 2009 in Miami Beach.

Festival organizer and Executive Director Jim Dobson unveiled a sneak peak at the four day event to take place in South Beach which will coincide with Miami Gay Pride Weekend.

“I am thrilled to be able to bring this exciting venture into South Beach filling a much needed gap in alternative programming for the Latino Gay community” said Dobson. “Through my six years of working with the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, I have noticed a huge demand for Latin Gay films and programming that was not always possible. The few Latin films programmed were always the first to sell out which proved a definite demand by the community.”

The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will open on Thursday, April 16 with a Gala Premiere presentation at the Colony Theater followed by a spectacular party, all on Lincoln Road in South Beach. The Festival will continue with screenings, panels, music events and a few surprises along the way. Closing Night Awards Gala and screening will take place on Sunday, April 19 at the Colony Theater followed by a special musical event and party.

The mission of the Miami Latin Gay Film Festival is to showcase and nurture existing and emerging creative talent while serving as a springboard and catalyst for the promotion of Gay Latin films and filmmakers as well as highlight exciting Latino talent in other areas including music.

A premier Latino Gay International Film Festival in the USA, MLGFF will eventually become the prominent venue for exhibition of the best of Gay Latin cinema and artistry from the United States, Latin America, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and beyond.

The Festival will present feature films, documentaries, shorts and special retrospective screenings. The films presented at the Festival showcase a wide variety of themes by Gay Latino filmmakers, producers, writers and actors, as well as movies that depict Gay Latino culture. It is a competitive festival with prizes and a venue where filmmakers and artists can come together with buyers and industry.

The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will also run the “Best of the Fest” simultaneously with the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival as well as contributing a substantial donation from its Closing Night to Care Resource.

Dada Bar Opens tonight in the Sagamore Hotel, 1671 Collins Ave; 305.535.8088
RSVP: cescov@hotmail.com

Named for the rebelliously nonsensical movement (and as a nod to the Taplin family collection lent to the Sagamore), Dada’s a tiny bar done entirely in white (including leather banquettes and cube-like tables encrusted w/ pearlescent marbles), whose walls are tiled in screens casting images against a bar-backing 13ft-tall mirror — all in all, a pinball machine of digital art. Furthering the culture, the music’s overseen by a Grammy-winning producer (JLo, etc) who promises to spin tunes you’ve never heard on the radio (so no JLo, etc) through an audacious sound system designed for much bigger spaces, dubbed the Dynacord Cobra-2 — sadly, as close to a sequel as Cobra will ever get. Bottle service can be had, but tables are for anyone who wanders in; booze includes magnums of both champagne and vodka, plus specialty drinks like the Chilean Passion Fruit: vodka, passion fruit liqueur & puree, and muddled jalapeños (so you know it’s manly).

Rustic Italian grub can be ordered from the Sagamore’s Whitehall Restaurant, e.g., a big bowl of seafood soup (mussels, clams, shrimp, octopus, lobster); filet mignon with Parmesan fonduta, and desserts like crispy cannolis with an almond-Frangelico dip — because cannolis who think you’re not in it for the booze are also fooling themselves.

Grand opening party tonight, 8pm to 2am: RSVP here or call 305.535.8088
