It’s not who I am, it’s just what I do!
My very talented sister Adrienne of Ade will have her work on display during the “Global Lives Project” exhibition in San Francisco beginning next week. Adrienne has collaborated on the project by designing and contributing the exhibit’s environmental graphics! You can see her work by visiting Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco where the non-profit “Global Lives Project” will be on display February 26 through June 20, 2010.

WHO DAT!! Another Super Bowl has come and gone and a big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to the New Orleans Saints! Super Bowl XLIV took place in my backyard (aka South Beach), back to back with the Pro Bowl…and as always it’s a time of year when I get to visit with friends who live both near and far! My good friend Gaby came from AZ to hang…and first on the agenda was “Rock the Game” ..well actually, I was working the red carpets at the Seminole Hard Rock’s many events…so she helped me out! 😉
I was up to my usual interviews and this time around had the opportunity to interview many NFL greats of past and present…look for highlights to come On The Flipside!
Then Saturday morning Dontaira invited us to join her for the NFLPA Jazz Brunch alongside the Intracoastal waterway…
….at a FABULOUS Pine Tree mansion!
Then we took a stroll down Ocean Drive as we made our way to the Hennessey Penthouse…and man did the Saints fans dominated the landscape, setting up shop in and around “Fat Tuesday’s” …go figure! It was a WHO DAT party at the Tide studio…lol
Day turned to night and we met up with Dara and Rene to hit up Nikki Beach
Then as Saturday night turned to Super Bowl Sunday, it also became Gaby’s Birthday!
Game time we ventured back to the Henny Penthouse – which was jammin all day/night – and met up with a few more of the girls…
And — to celebrate the Saints win and Gaby’s bday..we hit the town once again, ending up at Dolce, where the Patron doesn’t stop for bday girls! hehe
We also bumped into my and Miami’s fav… DJ Irie!
GOOD TIMES!!!
So, this week I had back to back movie previews and last night was for Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt. I wasn’t too familiar with the storyline going in, so once I sat down and started watching it..let’s just say I had different expectations! lol The costuming and makeup for the “wolf” transformations were done really well, but the actually story was weak and hard to follow/understand. I didn’t like Del Toro as the Wolfman, seemed a bit forced…but even though I didn’t care too much for the actual story, Anthony Hopkins did a great job acting “savage” in his scenes. I’m not gonna lie, it was hard to sit still and stay focused in this one, I guess if you’re a fan of this genre it’d be cool, but it was “different” and not my kind of flick!
I went to an early “Valentine’s Day” screening last night with my comadre Gabriela who was still in town visiting with me from the Super Bowl festivities…so we’ll do my take and then hers…
Aubrey says – I thought it was ‘good’…I think I was expecting more with the “star power” of Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Ashton Kutcher, George Lopez, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, etc… It was a lot of little story lines meshed into one with the central theme being love and having a Valentine… and while it could be a nice date movie, it was pretty regular and they could’ve cut out a few of the “stories.” The only story liek that pulled at my heart strings was the one involving Julia Roberts character, other than that I didn’t get too much of THAT lovin’ feelin.’
Gaby says – I’d say it’s a cute movie…going into it, I thought it was going to be a tear-jerker, but it turned out to be more of a comedy and something that’d be nice for a first date. There was one really hot guy in the movie who played a love-frustrated football player, so he was easy on the eyes, until his story took a turn. My daughter was a little upset that I watched it without her, but I’ll still take her to see it. **Note – Gaby did not cry during “Marley and Me.”
