The World Premiere of The Pleasure is…All Mime at the Colony Theater 10/11/12-10/14/12
The World Premiere of The Pleasure is…All Mime 
October 11 – 14
Colony Theater
1040 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139
www.colonytheatremiamibeach.com .
The World Premiere of “The Pleasure is…. all Mime†comes to the Colony Theater from October 11 – 14. This exciting celebration is a two-act pantomime show created and produced by world renowned pantomime expert Edward Rozinski and performed by acclaimed actor Nina Hlava.
Creator, producer and director Edward Rozinsky (stage director, dramatist, educator, actor), has lived in South Florida for over 30 years from the former USSR. Considered to be one of the main authorities in the world on the rare art of Pantomime, his disciples can be seen in significant scenarios such as Cirque de Soleil. His apprentice Slava Polunin is the star of the internationally acclaimed "Slava’s SnowShow." A resident of South Florida and published author, Edward Rozinski teaches at UM, FIU and New World School of the Arts. His book, "Essential Stage Movement" and unique video-course in stage movement allow students to learn and practice their stage movement techniques online.
This unforgettable play showcases the talents of Austrian actress Nina Hlava, an accomplished actor who has been on stage since the age of 8. She studied pantomime with French actor and mime Marcel Marceau and other notable artists and teachers in Europe. She successfully toured Europe and Japan as a part of ensemble and with her solo shows. Aside from been an accomplished actor, Nina is also a teacher and holds a PhD from Prague University, Czech Republic in Physical Theater and Pantomime.
"The Pleasure is… all Mime" is the outcome of the creative collaboration between the creative genius of Edward Rozinski and the unparalleled talents of Nina Hlava. The production’s main theme is a caricature of today’s pop culture. Touching on subjects such as pop stardom, public education, reality TV loneliness, drug use and corruption, all pieces express a message though the amazing art of silent action.
By addressing current events, this two hour play breaks barriers and it is suitable for adult audiences from around the world. The use of projected graphic animations, accompanied by music, tap dancing, acrobatics, puppetry, and juggling make for a dynamic entertaining reflection.

Miami Beach Food Truck and Music Fest 9/19/12
Food Truck and Music Fest

North Shore Bandshell
7250 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33141
The City of Miami Beach and KCC Productions present the Food Truck & Music Fest , featuring Marlow Rosado y la Riqueña
Miami Beach’s North Shore Park Bandshell & Ocean Terrace will dress in the typical, characteristic Latin flavor of the North Beach area to welcome the Miami Beach Food Truck and Music Fest on Wednesday nights this fall. The events take place on September 19, October 17 and November 14, from 5:00 p.m. To 10:00 p.m., at the North Shore Park Bandshell on Collins Avenue and 73 Street. The food and music fest will feature the popular mobile food trucks, free entertainment and participation by area restaurants.
The salsa sounds of the Marlow Rosado y La Riqueña’s nine-piece band will kick off the festival on September 19 from 6 to 9 pm.
With over twenty years’ experience in the music industry, pianist-composer-producer Marlow Rosado has developed a powerful portfolio working with many of the top artists in the Latin recording world. Singing with world-renowned producer Desmond Child has led him to work with major artists such as Alejandra Guzman and Ricky Martin (on Más). With eleven Grammy nominations to his credit, Rosado’s influence in the Tropical genre can be felt on records ranging from Elvis Crespo to Gran Combo.
His 2009 debut album, Salsalsa, featuring Andy Montañez, lived at the #1 spot on Puerto Rico’s hottest Salsa station, Zeta 93, for over eight weeks. His second and latest CD, Retro, (2012) takes some of the strongest songs from the 1970’s, maintaining the essentials of the originals, but metamorphosing them in Marlow’s 21st-century conception until they become entirely his own. The album features guest appearances by Tito Puente, Jr., Ismael Miranda, Bobby Cruz, Papo Lucca, Kevin Ceballo, Marlon Fernandez, Luigi Texidor, Quique Dominich, Salvador Cuevas, and Tony Vega. It has received rave reviews and has made the Top Ten list nationally in its category.
"It is a great neighborhood and we’re looking forward to having people come and enjoy good food, good music, and the beautiful beach and also hoping to entice neighboring residents to come and discover the charm of North Beach,†said Miami Beach Acting Assistant City Manager Max Sklar.
The popular food truck lineup includes the following: Ms. Cheezious, Sakaya Kitchen, Gastropod, Health Nut on Wheels, Dolci Pecati, Sugar Yummy Mama, Garcia Brothers Seafood, La Camaronera, Moty’s Grill, Latin Burger, Mangia Mia and Bocaditos. They will be offering varied menus from burgers and seafood to healthy bites and ethnic dishes.

Utilization of the technology at Haven and maximizing its potential is what sets this weekly exhibition apart from others.
About Lara…
She is graduate in Fine Arts from the "Universidad Complutense de Madrid" in Spain.
Her carreer has been rewarding, but she want to expands her horizons. In order to improve her English grammar and vocabulary, she spent 5 months last year in Miami, which also gave her the opportunity to experience and appreciate American society.
She spend the last year complemented her knowledge about audiovisual media, she took classes of camera operator, steady cam, digital post production and digital photography.
She believes that it is important to learn as much as you can, and in different ways.
That’s why she uses many methods to express and develop her work: painting, photography, videoart, etc… depending on the moment and the topic she is working on, the message that she want to spread, and what works better in one way or another.
Today we are influence by the culture and the society thats tell us the way you should procide, you must take sides on every thing because if you do not people can not understand you, and you will be ridiculous, this is the cultural crash, what might be good here, might be bad in another place, all is questionable. Wether you want to or not you are playing the game.
Another way of slavery is our lifestyle, the humans live for projects and do not know how to live without plans, the future moves us, the vision of the future in the present is the hope. The humans lost the hopes when the vision of the personal future disappear because it has stopped being interesting.Then life be stop. Without future life lose his sense.
Our plan of the future is constant present in ours life also the past.
Ours life are consequence of the lost possibilities of the past, all we could have been and never materialize, this sometimes provoke nostalgia.
¨Footfalls echo in the memorydown the passage which we did not taketowards the door we never opened.
(Eliot)
Humans can feel impotent and prisoners of their nature if they can not be free, if they cannot accept their human condition, if they remain isolated.
She tend to work with that kind of topics, also with her feelings, doubts, concerns, etc., so her personal experiences will influence pretty much on her work also her friends, people that she knows, or are close to her, they are always present in her work.
About her resume, she has participated in different group exhibitions, and she worked as a painting instructor and as a photographer of different projects and events.
Now, she is excited about continuing to work and learn, forming her into a better artist and person.

"Usually we are performing at crowded night clubs, make shift stages at corporate parties or even peoples living rooms, performing at a venue like the Fillmore, will give us the opportunity to really revamp the past routines and have them realized at their full potential." states Diana Lozano, founder and artistic Director for the company.
In addition to the larger production numbers, this evening will also feature work from the individual artist that make up the Circ X family. Seasoned veterans in the Theater and Dance community such as Octavio Campos and Natasha Tsakos, will be contributing some of their personal creations as well as emerging artist such as Luis Cuevas, who recently premiered his work at the Hear and Now Festival through the Miami Light Project.

About the Bass Museum of Art:
Located in Miami Beach, the Bass Museum of Art offers a dynamic year-round calendar of exhibitions exploring the connections between contemporary art and works of art from its permanent collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, sculpture, textiles, Apulian Vessel Gallery and Egyptian Gallery. Artists’ projects, educational programs, lectures, events, concerts and free family days complement the works on view. Founded in 1963 when the City of Miami Beach accepted a collection of Renaissance and Baroque works of art from collectors John and Johanna Bass, the collection was housed in an Art Deco building designed in 1930 by Russell Pancoast. Architect Arata Isozaki designed an addition to the museum between 1998 and 2001 that doubled its size from 15,000 to 35,000 square feet. Most recently, the museum selected internationally acclaimed Oppenheim Architecture + Design to lead its first phase of design and renovation tied to the 2010 completion of Miami Beach’s Collins Park. Oppenheim redesigned and relocated the museum’s arrival area to flow from and into the new park on Collins Avenue. For more information, please visit http://www.bassmuseum.org.

Annette Recommends Flame Caffe and Grill
We went for dinner at Flame Caffe and Grill on Española Way, and I have to say the food was absolutely amazing. We both started off with a Sauvignon Blanc – Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve and the Wild Mushroom Vol-au-Vent. I love mushrooms and this was heavenly; mushrooms sautéed in garlic, herbs and white wine in puff pastry, served in a mushroom cream sauce with a little truffle oil. For the main course, I had the Seafood Paella Rice and this was the best paella I have had. It had an assortment of fresh Florida seafood; calamari, shrimp, scallops, mussels and fish cooked in lobster broth, saffron and white wine, with a lobster tail on top and served with Valencia rice with Jerez. James had the 16 ounces of Angus Prime Rib Eye streak with porcini mushroom au-jus, served with roasted rosemary Yukon gold potatoes and sautéed broccolini. I, of course, had the Flame Blue Margarita, so yummy and not too sweet, and James had an Apple Martini. Both were made perfectly. Finally for dessert we had the Hot Chocolate Soufflé served with vanilla bean ice cream, it was so wonderful and delicious.

elit by STOLI is a proud supporter of ‘for artists…..BY ARTISTS’
In Mitchell Zachs words……..
MagicalPhotos.com is my baby since 2001. I was born in Brooklyn new York and since my photography and life has taken me to Miami Beach, Florida, Munich, Germany, Reno, Nevada, San Francisco & Ukiah, California, then nearly six years in the United States Air Force as a Staff Sargeant photographer, photographing some amazing stuff in San Antonio, Texas at Brooks AFB working for the Air Force Systems command, Plattsburgh, New York working for the Strategic Air Command and all over Alaska while living in Anchorage at Elemdorf AFB working for the 1369 Det 5 Audio Visual Squadron. Then off to College at San Francisco State University which led to photojournalism internships in Lakeland and Fort Myers, Florida, then to work in Hailey (Sun Valley) Idaho at the Wood River Journal with Bruce Willis as a neighbor. Then back through Miami and San Francisco and onto Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon for pictures at the East Oregonian. I may have the order of places a bit out of order but it is close enough. My mom, Barbara (Rappaport) Zachs, a graduate of Miami Beach High School, contracted lung cancer in 2003 where I immediately moved back to Miami, Florida to help her and where I have been since 2003. Sadly my mom has passed.
Mitchell Zachs is available to photograph Public Relations, Dance, Social Pictures, Events, Head Shots, Bar Mitzvahs, Weddings, Family pictures, Portraits, Portfolios, Corporate Conferences, Annual Reports, Real Estate, Commercial & Editorial types of Photography (786) 423-5433 or the same as 78nice-life.

About Eleazar Delgado:
Born in Oklahoma and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Eleazar Delgado studied architecture and interior design at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, and there is where he began his architectural explorations. During the 1980’s, Delgado fell in the love with Miami’s vivid colors and its native surroundings and it was the radiant sunshine and the gleaming colors of the night that influenced his choice to paint the story of Miami through the “Behind the Lights†collection. Delgado’s vibrant and colorful perspective on the city’s founders and leaders, like Henry Flagler and Julia Tuttle, and his interpretation of historical events, such as Billie Holiday’s performance at The Lyric in Overtown, have earned him much acclaim throughout Miami’s art circles. As a result, his artwork and vision have generated features in The Miami Herald, Plum TV, CNN Español, Social Miami, Miami Magazine, Miami Art Guide, Art Circuits, Ocean Drive, Brickell Magazine and 944, among others.

Journalists In The Early Years Of The Aids Crisis | Wolfsonian Hosts Public Talk With Elinor Burkett And William Darrow
Free for Wolfsonian members and students and $10 for all others
AIDS and the Media will be the focus of a public talk at The Wolfsonian–Florida International University between journalist and producer/director Elinor Burkett and William Darrow, Professor of Public Health at FIU. Join their conversation about the media’s role in mobilizing the nation’s response to AIDS and its complex relationship with scientists, activists, and politicians confronting the epidemic.
Over the three decades since early reports of a terrifying new disease began leaking out of San Francisco and New York, American journalists writing about AIDS have been accused of underplaying the first hints of disaster and of distorting its shape, of pandering to scientists and of scientific ignorance, of callous indifference, racism, homophobia, and utter heroism. This frank conversation between Elinor Burkett and William Darrow is presented in conjunction with The Wolfsonian’s current exhibition Graphic Intervention: 25 Years of International AIDS Awareness Posters 1985-2010.
Elinor Burkett reported on AIDS for The Miami Herald during the critical years when South Florida was coming to grips with the epidemic and authored The Gravest Show on Earth: America in the Age of AIDS, a scorching indictment of the ‘AIDS industry’ for greed, self-promotion, and putting politics over prevention.
During his 31 year career with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), William Darrow served as the only social scientist on the CDC task force that studied AIDS from 1981 through 1985 and later directed scientific research on the social and behavioral aspects of AIDS as Chief of the Behavioral and Prevention Research Branch, Division of STD/HIV Prevention, National Center for Prevention Services.
New Play Project Features Student Playwrights/Actors/Directors 8/10-12/12
4th Annual “New Play Project†Features Short Plays Written And Directed By High School Students
Friday, August 10 at 7:30 pm; Saturday, August 11 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, August 12 at 2:30pm.
Byron Carlyle Theatre
500 71st Street
Miami Beach.
Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door. For further information, visit www.thenewplayproject.webs.com.
Proceeds Benefit Multiple Sclerosis Society;
New Voices; New Vision; New Theatre. This is the overriding goal of The Company Company, a theatre company comprised entirely of students. With a mission of having the voices of high school students heard through writing, directing and acting, The Company Company will present the 4th Annual New Play Project, a series of short plays, from comedies to dramas, all featuring student playwrights, directors and actors from the Miami area. The production will take place at Miami Beach’s historic Byron Carlyle Theatre from Friday, August 10 through Sunday, August 12.
Dylan Guerra, The Company Company’s Artistic Director, describes the content of the plays as a mélange of “Awkward dinners, mystic fields, twisted dwarves, broken relationships, statements on war, playwrights in distress, wild characters, stolen hearts, a flying woman, plants, 1950s spoofs and Wild fun.â€
Nearly all of the playwrights, directors and actors are either students or graduates of the New World School of the Arts.
Founded in 2009, The Company Company presents works that represent the unique perspectives of high school students, to ensure that “New Voices†are heard throughout the community. In their first year, the New Play Project made its debut with a group of short plays presented at the Area Stage. In 2010 they added a performance of improvisational works to aid in the Red Cross’s post-hurricane recovery efforts in Haiti. Proceeds from that year’s New Play Project benefitted both the Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Thespian Department at the New World School of the Arts. In 2011, The New Play Project at the M Ensemble Theatre marked an expansion for the organization, offering opportunities for more playwrights and actors.
This year’s production will showcase the works of student playwrights Hannah Benitez, Dylan Guerra, Ana Heretoui, Alexis Scheer and Monica Skoko. Directed by Ryan Avalos, Dylan Guerra, Heather Knobel and Phillip Pilla, the actors are Ryan Avalos, Spencer Bang, Kaelyn Brooke, Dylan Guerra, Cheyenne Hardy, Heather Knobel, Phillip Pilla and Antonina Vargas.
All proceeds from the project will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, an organization that holds special meaning for Dylan. He first learned about MS when he was in the 8th grade at Miami Country Day School. “My English teacher, who was truly my mentor, shared with me that a member of her family had MS,†says Dylan. “I learned a lot about the struggles and challenges faced by people with MS and enlisted other students to help raise money and awareness about the disease.†With a close family friend being diagnosed with MS, Dylan continued to support the MS Society throughout his high school years at the New World School of the Arts. “I am truly blessed that through the New Play Project, we are able to contribute to raising awareness and funds for this worthy cause.â€

Italian Jovanotti got involved in music when Claudio Cecchetto gave him the opportunity to work as a DJ for a local radio station, hosting a New Year’s Eve show. He made his first record at the age of 19, a single called “Gimme Five,” which was later featured on his debut album, Jovanotti for President. As a young he artist participated in San Remo’s festival singing “La Mia Moto.” Soon, he was debuting as a TV host on DJ TV and 1,2,3 Casino. In addition, he began writing a book called -Yo, Brothers and Sisters. Jovanotti played a role in the movie Giardini dell’Eden, directed by Alessandro D’Alatri. That same year, he joined a tribute to Robert Wyatt and a project called Artisti Uniti Per Gli Zapatisti Del Chiapas. Shortly thereafter the hip-hop singer/songwriter returned to San Remo with a song called “Cancella Il Debito.” Jovanotti has intensified his tours and collaborations and has performed with internationally renowned artists (Pino Daniele, Luca Carboni, Luciano Pavarotti). Over the last few years, Jovanotti has increased his political and social involvement and this has led him to become, among other things, one of the main promoters of the Campaign for the cancellation of the public debt owed by Third World Countries.

A few years ago, Regina Spektor was hypnotizing small crowds at hole-in-the-wall venues on New York ‘s Lower East Side . After playing hundreds of shows in and around NYC, Spektor became the talk of the burgeoning music scene. Going from 200-capacity venues to selling out 1,300 capacity-venues like New York ‘s Irving Plaza and London ‘s Shephard Bush Empire, this Russian-born chanteuse’s songs have gone on to receive a worldwide fanfare. Always willing to damn convention for the sake of creativity, Spektor is one of those rare talents who manage to outrun the trends and force the rest of the world to keep up. Her latest release, What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, debuted at #3 on The Billboard Album Chart. Spektor recently toured throughout Europe, including a sold out show at Royal Albert Hall in London and her first concerts in her native Russia. Additionally, her video for “All the Rowboats†from Cheap Seats was just nominated for a MTV VMA for Best Art Direction.

Band of Horses is Ben Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Ryan Monroe, Bill Reynolds and Tyler Ramsey. Mirage Rock is the follow-up to 2010’s Grammy-nominated Infinite Arms. Recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, Mirage Rock is arguably Band of Horses’ most cohesive and accomplished set of compositions and performances to date. Additionally, it is the first Band of Horses record to be produced by Glyn Johns, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year in recognition of his work with The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Faces, Eric Clapton and too many others to list. The first single “Knock Knock,” has been lauded by Entertainment Weekly for its “airtight guitars, propulsive drums and woo-oo-oohs” and described by Rolling Stone as having “more going on under the hood than usual, implying the band’s upcoming LP will be its most rocking yet.”

Free Catalog with Admission
Aqua Art Miami is proud to announce “Destination Super Eight†– its 8th consecutive installment in Miami Beach this December. Over the years, the fair has been recognized for presenting vibrant and noteworthy international art programs with a particular interest in supporting young dealers and galleries with strong emerging and early-mid career artists. With innovative special programming, which features performance art, and the collective exchange of ideas by 45 exhibiting galleries from North and South America, as well as Japan, Aqua12 will surely pack yet another powerful punch during Art Basel Week.
Aqua’s curatorial commitment is complemented by the unique art fair setting of a classic South Beach hotel with spacious exhibition rooms that open onto a breezy, intimate courtyard. The surroundings have become a favorite gathering spot not only for relaxation during the busy Art Basel Week, but also as a place to exchange and disseminate new contemporary art ideas. And with its close proximity to the main Art Basel fair, Aqua Art Miami has consistently been ranked among the top satellite art events by collectors, artists, curators, critics and the art loving public alike.
Throughout its tenure, Aqua Art Miami has been a great supporter of not-for-profit art organizations. With the success of its inaugural Museum Day in 2011, Aqua12 is expanding the second installment of the event to include not only local art institutions, but all art museums worldwide. On Thursday, December 6th, from noon – 9pm, in an effort to promote membership sign-ups and public support for the arts, the fair will grant free entry to all art museum membership card holders for the day. Aqua12 would like to invite all not-for-profit art organizations, within the US and abroad, to participate and take this cross-organizational collaborative opportunity to drive membership sign-ups and renewals, as well as to promote even more support for the arts in their own communities.
This year, visitors to Aqua12 will also be able to experience a uniquely comprehensive arts programming, at the core of which is the work of Atlanta-based artist Lauri Stallings and her performance art troupe Glo. Livers: REMIX is a 4-hour continuous work that conducts an entire precarious world between the performers and the city of Miami Beach. It begins at Aqua as a physical installation of choreographed gestures in a state of being together, and continues in migratory form along the pedestrian arteries of Collins Avenue, for a highly physical contemporary performance in a public space, sculpted as an “arena of exchange.†Lauri Stallings’ physical language, influenced by the philosophies of Ohad Naharin’s “gaga†system, Nicolas Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics and situational experiments, enervates and explores the spontaneous collaborations that arise when public members interact with performers to participate in the realization of this piece, which will be performed in the evenings of Wednesday, December 5th (Aqua’s VIP Preview Opening) and Friday, December 7th, 2012.

Influential alternative rock icons Primus bring their first ever 3D enhanced live concert to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Saturday, November 10, 2012 / 8PM, Tickets go on sale Friday, August 3rd / 10AM. This is part of the Cruzan Concert Series.
Primus is excited to announce a unique 3D tour this fall, featuring two sets per evening. Being that this is the first-ever traveling 3D-enhanced live musical performance, this groundbreaking tour is sure to provide a one-of-a-kind psychedelic experience, further enhanced by the fact that every show will also feature Quad Surround Sound. Primus’ latest album, Green Naugahyde, was produced and engineered by Les Claypool in his personal studio. Green Naugahyde expands on Primus’ incomparable sound and also sees them bringing it into the next millennium. It is a cerebral and complex album that, like all of the band’s output, is teeming with the band’s signature blend of whimsy and underlying darkness. For the past 27 years, Primus have followed in the footsteps of boundary-pushing artists like Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to create some of the most original and inventive music in existence.
General Admission tickets are $39.50. Limited Mezzanine seating is available for $49.50. They will go on sale Friday, August 3rd at 10AM at LiveNation.com or charge by phone 800-745-3000 and at the Fillmore Box Office during normal business hours (Mon. – Fri., 11AM – 6PM and during show days).

Swim Week Day 3: Lifestyle Retreat Lounge brought much respite to Miami Swim Week By Betty Alvarez
The Lifestyle Retreat Lounge (LRL) catered to tastemakers, media, celebrities, buyers and models gave companies the opportunity to showcase their brands in a unique carefree setting. It consisted of designer presentations, a pop-up beauty salon hosted by Blo Midtown, make up applications by Mary Kay and on the go activations. Tasty bites offered by Sweet & Tipsy cupcakes and Tasti d’Lite and wine samplings by Chateau D’Esclans were the toast of the day as the lounge offered all guests in attendance a specious, air-conditioned and vastly decorated lounge to retreat from the heat.
Founded in 2010, the Lifestyle Retreat Lounge has returned for its third consecutive year to Miami Swim Week. The Lifestyle Retreat Lounge, better known as LRL, was held at the Shelborne Hotel Ballroom on 18th & Collins.
Swim Week Day 2: Great Fashion at Funkshion, awesome event at W Hotel, breathtaking view at SLS hotel, Kim Kardashian at Delano By Betty Alvarez
Day 2 of this festive week is like no other. Great looking people and models stroll Collins Avenue heading towards or leaving parties and after-parties. The atmosphere is jolting with excitement.
First I wanted to go to W Hotel but my temptations first went to the Funshion Fashion tent where I caught the first glimpse of Ada and Toxic Sadie, Elle & Ella, and Guria. Great models sporting great designer swim suits. The area was packed but I was fortunate enough to have a space for me. The colors and fabrics were all brilliantly made. It made a great night to start.
Then I went to the Salon Allure Opening Night party at the W Hotel poolside. While I was looking for a spot to take my photos, I ran into a PR friend of mine and she placed me in front row. It was very easy to take the photos. What I heard there were about 75 designers that were part of this exclusive fashion show and it was hot. At each interval, the Brazilian drummer excited the crowd for the next line-up. Cocktails were courtesy of Grey Goose. Another great party that his hotel had.
On my way to the Delano, I went to SLS Hotel as they hosted the afterparty for the Make-A-Wish Fashion Show with Niki Poulos. It was my first time at the hotel and it was fabulous. The hotel is gorgeous and I the pool area is spectacular. The big rubber ducky was a no miss to guests as they enter the area. Smartwater sponsored the event.
Lastly, I made my stop at the Delano where Midori presented Kim Kardashian party hosted by Ocean Drive Magazine. The backdrop for Midori where decorated in small bottle of Midori which gave it a good look and Midori infused cocktails were the special of the day. However, I did see Kim Kardashian but then I saw a big lighted camera on the far corner of the pool area. As I headed over there, she was there. She gave a speech thanking everyone who came and was surprised by an artist who painted a portrait of hers in top speed. The place was kicking and so were the people.
Great 2nd night out!!
Swim Week Day 1-Mercedes Benz Kick off Party at Raleigh, Villa Azur at Avant Gallery, Peroni Fashion Show for Funkshion and Ocean Drive Magazine Cover Party at Delano by Betty Alvarez
It’s time once again for our schedule to be crazy as Swim Week is upon us and by now everyone should get loads of invite or peruse websites (such as this one) for the latest great events around Miami Beach.
First, I headed to the Raleigh Hotel to the kick off party of Mercedes Benz Fashion week. Haven’t been in a long time and its breathtaking views accompanying the enormous pool area gave a great backdrop to this wonderful event. Fashionistas from all over the world congregated in its enormous patio as they posed alongside the Mercedes on display as the official sponsor of Swim Week. Champagne cocktails by Moet Henessy along with delectable appetizers served by the Raleigh Hotel wet any appetite. Great place with great atmosphere!
As I was walking to another gallery, I came upon a big tent between 21st and 22nd Street in Collins-Funkshion Fashion Week. As I came in, a fashion show was already underway: Peroni presents Young Designer Award with Fashion Group International where the finalists designs were presented in the fashion show. The winner will receive a trip to New York City during Fashion Week and the opportunity to meet the internationally known designer Antonio Berardi. Good luck to the winner!!
Then, I strolled close by to the newly opened Avant Gallery. Originally located in Design District, I was pleasantly surprised that they newly opened in the heart of Miami Beach. For this night, they had a cool event named Villa Azur presents “Sin City,” an exhibition of collaborative photography by Hype Williams and John Jansheski. Sexy and provocative artwork decorated the gallery as guests strolled in the many sections that the gallery had.
Lastly, my day ended at the Delano where Ocean Drive Magazine had their Swim cover party where swimsuit models posed for the cameras and an ice bar greeted the guest for a wonderful cocktail reception. During the course of the night, a model in an air bubble was “rolling” around the pool area and in some cases splashing some of guests. It was a fun night to remember for my first day of Swim Week.

More Information
Born in a small village in Northern Italy, Sergio Sigala began his culinary career at the young age of 13, initially driven by the desire to earn enough money to buy a Vespa scooter. Though he was able to purchase his prized ride after just a few months working in a professional kitchen, Sigala realized that cooking came naturally to him. Drawn to food like never before, he began spending more time in his mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens, observing the fundamentals of his native northern Italian cuisine. In 1990, Sergio graduated at the top of his class from the culinary school, Istituto Professionale Di Stato Per I Servizi Alberghieri E Della Ristorazione (IPSAR).
After graduation, Sergio spent a number of years training in a variety of renowned restaurants and hotels throughout Europe, including Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, Italy; Hotel Steffani in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and Michelin-starred restaurants Al Bersagliere in Goito, Italy, and Ristorante Villa Fiordaliso in Lake Garda, Italy. In 1996, Sigala was hired as Chef of Italian Cuisine at the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel, where he catered private parties and royal weddings at 16 different palaces for dignitaries such as the Sultan of Bahrain, Prince Charles and Nelson Mandela.
In 2000, Sigala was brought on board to open Casa Tua in Miami Beach, where he was involved in all aspects of restaurant development. As Executive Chef, his creativity, leadership and precision in the kitchen helped garner Casa Tua critical acclaim, making it an internationally recognized restaurant frequented by a multitude of world-famous figures, including film stars, musicians, politicians, top models, star chefs and top athletes.
Sigala’s depth of experience, esteemed reputation and considerable talents made him the perfect fit to open Soho House’s latest Cecconi’s restaurant in the club’s Miami Beach location, which debuted in fall 2010. As Executive Chef, he oversees the restaurant’s kitchen and has crafted a menu which reflects his belief that simple is best, and celebrates fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Sigala has been featured in various magazines and newspapers such as Food & Wine, Ocean Drive, Town & Country and the Miami Herald. He and Casa Tua were also featured on the Food Network’s Giada’s Weekend Getaways with Giada De Laurentiis, and has had original recipes published in culinary books such as South Beach Diet, Sandwiches of the World and Summer in New York. In 2003, he was named Rising Star Chef in Miami by Star Chefs.
Sigala lives in Miami and is married with two children. He balances his working life by competing in triathlons and marathons, playing golf and riding his Vespa, even after all these years.

Photographs of Style Saves Fashion Show at Soho Beach House on 7/19/12
Style Saves Fashion Show at Soho Beach House on Thursday, July 19, 2012.  The beautiful fashions that were showcased on the runway were designed by Trina Turk, Atrium, Papi swimwear for men & iShine365 swimwear for women.  The models wore floral halos by Madonna Girl styled by Rik Rak Salon.  Also,  eyewear by Tortoise & Blonde and vintage jewelry and accessories by C. Madeleine’s .
Miami Beach, FL – On Thursday, July 19th, 2012, Style Saves kicked off Miami Swim Week with a splash! To celebrate Style Saves’ 1 Year Anniversary, co-chairs Rachael Russell and Ashley Spitz produced Style Saves’ summer fashion show fundraiser. The dual effort fittingly coalesced Russell’s creativity and fashion styling talents with Spitz’s background in non-profit fundraising and event planning.
Over 400 of Miami’s most recognized, influential and fashionable faces gathered at the ultra-chic Soho Beach House to support Style Saves’ mission to “build confidence through clothes and give a fresh start through fashion†to local underprivileged students in South Florida. The event raised nearly $40,000 for Style Saves, doubling last year’s efforts.
The exclusive Style Saves fashion show was held in conjunction with Miami Swim Week and was unique due to its charitable component, given the organization’s affiliation with The Miami Foundation. Coupling philanthropy with fashion, Haute Living magazine aptly named the event Mercedes-Benz Swim Week’s “Best Show for a Cause.â€
“We were thrilled to host the ‘Best Show for a Cause,’ and lend our support to Style Saves,†says Soho Beach House General Manager Laurent Fraticelli. “We think the work that they do is so important to the heart of Miami, and the approach that they take by tapping into the fashion world fits very well with our deep support of Miami’s creative communities.â€
The show featured runway looks by Trina Turk and Papi swimwear, and showcased fashions from Atrium and iShine365. Each look was personally styled by celebrity fashion stylist and Style Saves’ founder, Rachael Russell who ambitiously put forth a display of almost 80 different looks.
“Collaboration is key,†says Rachael Russell who recognizes that a show like this can have a profound and positive impact on smaller brands. In turn, Russell encouraged the runway debut of Tortoise & Blonde eyewear, That Madonna Girl floral halos and C. Madeleine’s vintage jewelry whose accessories completed each look. Gorgeous fishtail braids and glowing faces beautified the models by stylists from Rik Rak Salon.
DJ Brett Sylvia set the mood with the perfect mix of tunes, while partygoers sipped on cocktails sponsored by Grey Goose, Moët Chandon, Peroni and Vita Coco, and indulged in cupcakes by Stella’s Sweet Shoppe. The event was highly digitized, featuring a plasma screen at the end of the runway for designer branding and a projected live Twitter feed updated by LGD Communications.
Keeping with interactive technology, guests were able to view the online auction hosted by Charitybuzz on iPads thcoughout the space and capture memories in the Capture Pod photo booth sponsored by Atrium. The auction will be live on Charitybuzz.com/StyleSaves until August 2nd and features a Soho Beach House weekend stay, Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour $1,000 shopping spree, Balenciaga clutch and much more!
Notable guests included film director Michael Bay, celebrity chef Travis London, Gilt Groupe founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson and “Real Housewives of Miami†cast members Joanna Krupa, Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria. To cap off the night, Mynt Lounge hosted an after-party to celebrate the event’s success.
Amongst a handful of local organizations, Style Saves has partnered with Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation to benefit the children of the Michael Fux Family Center at Miami Children’s Hospital.
“Our hope is to make the children who don’t feel good, look good,†says Ashley Spitz who has a professional tie to the Foundation. “In a sense, we will be giving a healthy dose of confidence to the kids and helping their families at the same time,†she adds.
Last year, Style Saves partnered with Big Brothers, Big Sisters for the back-to-school event, which featured a field day of activities that included arts and crafts, games and of course styling. With plans to do so again, Style Saves is focused on targeting other deserving groups as well to target students most in need.
“Going forward, we really want to pull all of our fashion industry resources together and reach a greater number of organizations,†explains Russell whose plans include partnering with Tracy Mourning’s Honey Shine Mentoring Program.
“It’s all about the little details when making a difference,†she adds. Russell has each student fill out surveys to assess their personal style.
Russell is spearheading the Style Saves back-to-school event scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 26th. The event will incorporate more than just clothing aspect by offering haircuts by Privé Salon, plus make-up lessons for the teenage girls, since as stylist Russell is eager to create an entire look from head-to-toe.
With the help of the Style Saves Board, Russell explains, “We are motivated to do whatever we can to make our students feel their best, with the true hope that they will have the confidence to then do well.â€
Want to get involved? If you are interested in participating in the back-to-school event as a designer, business or volunteer, please e-mail Rachael Russell, rachael@stylerr.com.

WALL
W South Beach Hotel & Residences

Miami Beach, FL 33139
Albanian supermodel and former Miss Universe 2010, Angela Martini, will debut her Spring/Summer 2013 swimwear collection poolside at WET, boasting sexy and wearable styles with radiant hues and mix-and-match separates. Following her display, the party will continue inside WALL where internationally renowned DJ and producer, Alex Kenji, will hit the decks and spin the best of electro/tech house throughout the night.
Albanian born supermodel Angela Martini is no stranger to the fashion industry. By the age of eighteen Martini was modeling professionally for top fashion houses including Guess, Nautica, and Bare Necessities. Hoping to expand her outreach to women globally, Martini competed for the title of Miss Universe 2010 after having won the Miss Albania competition the same year. Martini took the crown at Miss Universe, and with it a heightened sense of vision and drive.
In her true entrepreneurial spirit, Angela Martini has segued from model to designer, launching her womens swimwear brand this summer. Having posed and walked in numerous swimwear fashion editorials and runway shows, Martini has taken note of and honed in on elements that would make swimwear more practical for women- an area that she believes is untapped in the swimwear market.
Martini creates her versatile swimwear collection with desire to produce a product that exudes both sex appeal and wear-ability. Angela Martini Bikinis offer women customization in swimwear selection through mix-and-match-able tops and bottoms.
Each piece is designed by Martini with the intent to work with all others in the collection, allowing the consumer to have the ultimate choice between less or more coverage and color. The concept of duality and flexibility in Martini’s collection reflects her astrological passion as a Gemini, represented by the Roman numeral ‘II’ imprinted on her bikinis. Martini’s logo also stands as a testament to romance, applying the concept of finding one’s match or other half in life to outfitting the perfect, customizable bikini that fits in the moment.
For her premier Spring/Summer 2013 collection, Angela Martini is presenting an assortment of atypical bikini silhouettes inspired in cut and colors by exotic flowers. The collection showcases mono-kinis in the likeliness of orchids, petal-shaped bandeaus, halter-tops with floral palettes, form-conscious cutouts, and extra-long ties that wrap around the body creating a cage-like effect. The vivid lilac, rose, mint, and turquoise hues of the collection are made sporty when balanced with neutral shades of light grey, nude, cream, and stone. The swimwear separates range in retail from $46 to $105.
A throwback to carefree decadence, boutique lounge WALL at W South Beach has proven to be an impenetrably exclusive boite in the heart of South Beach. The Miami hotspot is a product of restaurateurs and nightlife impresarios Karim Masri, Nicola Siervo and Rony Seikaly, the masterminds behind KNR Group and projects including sought-after dining establishments such as Solea, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana and Sosta Pizzeria and Enoteca. Part owners in the venture include director of nightlife Navin Chatani and W South Beach assistant food and beverage director Jarred Grant. Straying from the traditional concepts of South Florida nightlife, the venue provides an intimate hideaway where celebrities and locals alike can relax and escape from the mayhem of South Beach.
“WALL is a smaller and intimate venue, a change for Miami Beach,†says owner Masri. “On any given night our clients come to find like-minded people, while locals come to find their friends. We offer versatility throughout our concept so that guests can determine their own experience.â€
Get past the velvet ropes, walk through the beveled bronze doors, breeze past the champagne-swilling fashionable types and gaze upon the iconic interior design of Studio B’s Anna Busta. The gold-and-black motif radiates glamour and edge, and offers a layer of seduction by way of dark and textured walls. WALL’s unique and open design allows for a constant flow of club-goers and encourages dancing into the late morning hours. The central area features two signature gold leather couches arranged in easily accessible rows. The back bar displays feature large LED backlit picture frames made from mirror incorporating WALL’s signature diamond motif into the space. The DJ booth is optimally located in the center of the room facing the main bar. However, the “pièce de résistance†is the 35-inch spherical Raimond chandelier, an exquisite new creation from the Dutch design house Moooi. Designed by Raimond Puts for Moooi in the Netherlands, Moooi’s Raimond Light is a sparkling sphere containing hundreds of LED lights that will replace the central mirror disco ball. The intricate sphere of the Raimond Light transports the electrical current allowing the LED terminals to then join these paths to create an atmospheric ambiance.
The entirely VIP 4,000 square foot venue, nestled within the award-winning W South Beach, consistently attracts A-listers, jet-setters and nightlife aficionados from around the world, providing further reason for South Beach to be lauded as a top nightlife destination.
“What makes a club a ‘destination’ is the ownership behind it,†said co-owner Siervo. “You can put gold on the walls but if the team behind the club is not established, experienced and well-respected locally, it doesn’t stand a chance. Miami is our backyard and most of our clients are our friends and fellow industry insiders.â€
Since opening in July 2009, WALL has been the choice venue for Miami’s most coveted events such as the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) Super Bowl XLIV party, hosting top A-list celebrities including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz, Alex Rodriguez, Carrie Underwood, Kate Walsh and more. Vito Schnabel, Stavros Niarchos and Alex Dellal’s Art Basel Miami fete placed WALL at the center of the art and design world. The lounge also hosted HBO’s “Entourage†premiere after-party and consistently draws top DJ’s and athletes such as Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Derek Jeter, Reggie Bush and Dwyane Wade – who celebrated his birthday at the famed lounge alongside team members Lebron James and Chris Bosh.

Each look will be modeled by the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders on a hydraulic stage with digitally mapped graphics, simultaneously playing on the elevated, custom-built LED screens to give a 3-D illusion. 3-D Projection Mapping is one of the newest technological projects to hit the market. This method takes 2- and 3-D moving images and then projects them onto a screen to create the effect and feeling of being at the actual festival. Visual effects and production will be provided by Derick G.
Sponsors for the evening include Red Bull and Paul Mitchell High Tech studio, which will be providing hair and makeup ready looks for the runway.

Style Week Resort Fashion Show at The Temple House on Friday, July 13, 2012.  We went to the 7pm  and saw the beautiful fashion from designer Janeane Marie.
Bio: “Janeane Marie is a women’s wear designer currently living in West Palm Beach, Florida. She got her start in fashion studying at the Art Institute of Portland and beginning an eponymous line in 2009. With a minimalist aesthetic, her work is inspired by nature, music, and the belief that less is always more.
Fashion was not always a dream for Janeane, in fact came a bit later for her. Before pursuing fashion, she studied language and literature in Italy for two years. Always intrigued by craft, her love of textiles led her to fashion studies when she moved back to Portland in 2005. After graduating with Honors in 2009, Janeane was selected to be a competing designer on Season 7 of Project Runway. Her collections have been shown at several fashion shows in Portland, including at Portland Fashion Week.”

For 2013, RANA ROJO unveils their new swim/resort collection LA LUCHA within the gorgeous setting of the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. LA LUCHA 2013 resort collection is largely inspired by Lucha Libre — the now global, masked wrestling phenomenon first popularized in Mexico in the 1940s. Ash Rana and Damian Rojo translate this cultural phenomenon into a collection that shares the uninhibited use of color and ingenious appliqué work into distinct wearable garments for the modern woman. Their broad range of swimsuits and cover-ups will take you from day to night, from practical elegance to calculate extravagance. Custom prints for LA LUCHA fearlessly weave indigenous textile patterns, free-hand drawings, collage and punk ‘zine’ aesthetic into a cultural quilt. LA LUCHA embodies a celebration of life where you choose masks to bring forth inner spirit and embody your personal mythology.

See Maggie May Brasilia 2013
Salon Allure, a luxury resort, swim, and accessories tradeshow will be at Miami’s exclusive W Hotel July 21-24. Among the exhibitors is Maggie May Swimwear, a high-end knit swimwear company that was recently featured in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Buyers will be hard-pressed to come across something more unique and fashion-forward as the knitted Maggie May bikini.
From SI’s Swimsuit Edition to Salon Allure, Maggie May Swimwear is bringing back the knitted bikini of the 60’s. But this is not your mother’s knitted bikini!
With the Maggie May Brasilia 2013 bikini line, Maggie has reinvented and redesigned the look and the construction of knitted swimwear. She creates her bikinis using an exclusive patent-pending process that allows for an always perfect fit and strong construction. Unlike flimsy crocheted bikinis, a Maggie May bikini will not lose its shape in or out of the water, nor fall apart because of the fragile crochet technique.
A Maggie May bikini is knitted from the finest all natural yarns and trims in a profusion of bright colors, a tribute to the Brasilian vibe, hugging the curves of a woman’s body with vibrant, soft natural knitted yarns.
“It’s all about making a girl look great in a bikini,” said Maggie. “The most important thing about my bikinis is that they are easy to fit because they are actually knitted which gives with your curves, without squeezing them. But you have to make sure you tie them correctly, it’s all in how you tie a Maggie May bikini that gives that great fit.”

Beach Towel Tour Kickoff 7/28/12
Beach Towel Tour Kickoff
July 28, 2012, 10am – 8pm
Miami Beach
Miami Beach
misaelsoto.com/Beach-Towel
Misael Soto takes his giant Beach Towel on a tour of the East Coast, kicking-off on Miami Beach, Saturday, July 28th. Anyone and everyone is welcome to occupy and enjoy the towel which will be there for most of the day. Bring food and drinks, your favorite beach games, kites, instruments, or anything else you like.
Misael hopes to subvert the way beach-goers claim their temporary real estate on the beach. Having it on Memorial Day, the event intends to indict and subvert American excess. Misael places the towel in one of the busiest beaches at one of the busiest times, in an attempt to not only comment on how we chose to share the wealth (or not), but to also provide a space where he creates the opportunity for communal transcendence above the conditioning of capitalism.
