Pro Bowl – Miami

The NFL Pro Bowl is taking place in Miami for the first time ever, before a Super Bowl – it’s traditionally been held in Honolulu for the past 30 consecutive seasons the weekend after the NFL Championship game! So, since it’s in my backyard, I’ve been hustlin’ On The Flipside and hanging out with my girls! The first (Pro Bowl) event I attended was a Pro Bowl Cheerleader fashion show at the W Hotel on South Beach…featuring one lady from each of the 26 teams with “cheerleaders.”

This year 2 ladies I’ve danced with in the past are reppin’ their teams for the Pro Bowl. Amy from the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush (we actually were teammates on the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders). Also pictured is current Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Johanna who was helping me cover the event!

Raiderette Cole was selected to represent the Oakland Raiders. Cole and I were rookies together once upon a time…. 🙂

My good friend/former ten-time Raiderette Jeanette, now Raiders.com correspondent, joined me at the “Battle of the Beauties” event in Fort Lauderdale…another one of our Raiderette sisters, Rebeca, also hung out with us to support our girl Cole!

The “Battle of the Beauties” event featured the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an AFC vs. NFC battle playing Beach Volleyball, Tug of War and Flag Football…

Time for a little “Step and Repeat”

Saturday night, Brewer Sports Int’l hosted a fashion show at the Mondrian Hotel featuring NFL players, and they threw in some swimsuit models for added sexy? Hey…that’s how we do it in Miami! lol

Among the models taking to the runway were retired NFL player Will Demps and current Dallas Cowboys Running Back Marion Barber…

Good times…time to get ready for the game tonight, then a full week of SUPER BOWL craziness!

Ishii NYC

A good friend of mine, Tamae Ishii, is a designer based in New York. Her line is called Ishii NYC – high end women’s contemporary couture. Anyway, when I visit…and we go out, she let’s me wear her “clothes!” See me below in her “Wool Herringbone Bustier” dress.

When in Rome…

I LOVED this movie! So cute, original and refreshing – a totally new approach to the ‘romantic comedy’ genre!! Kristen Bell plays the career-oriented single gal who’s had her heart broken too many times and is starting to give up on the idea of “LOVE.” Ladies..I know ya’ll feel me on that! Anyway, her “luck” takes an interesting turn when she goes to Rome for her sister’s wedding and the story unfolds from there. This film has humor, charm, wit and it’s just fun! It stays away from the typical and injects other true to life scenario’s and events, so you can’t help but to smile! 🙂 BTW, Josh Duhamel is looking very cute  as her love interest in the movie as well… But yes, WATCH THIS, it’s not just for the ladies!! The only thing I wasn’t too keen on is the film’s title…but I enjoyed it so much, they can call it what they want!

AND — while watching, I couldn’t help but reminisce about when I was in Rome 3 years ago with my sisters…

They LOVED me and the sisters in Rome…the pizza-makers surprised us with “special” heart-shaped pizzas! Ahhh, the memories…of LUV!!

Edge of Darkness

I checked out the new Mel Gibson action(ish) thriller “Edge of Darkness,” that opens up in theaters this Friday. It’s a pretty crazy, intense storyline, but I thought Mel Gibson did a great job in his role as a single father who is trying to figure out who is responsible for murdering his daughter. It’s one of those plot that gets pretty deep…I didn’t expect it to be so “thick,” so I did have to pay good attention to what was going on and the “technicalities” of the string of events! I screened this one in Sunny Isles, so it was more of the “retired” crowd and they REALLY enjoyed it! Cheering and clapping…lol I did enjoy it, I felt it dragged at times, but overall… you can see it in the theater.

Baby Sister

My baby sister Alison aka Bologna is getting her model on once again…

Isn’t she the best little mini-me? FYI…she hates when I say that! lol

TOO CUTE Bologna…the shots are beautiful!!!

Props to the photographer, stylist/designer and makeup!
