Art Basel is one of my favorite times of the year in Miami. Traditionally held the first weekend of December, this international art show attracts artists, musicians and designers from all over the globe. The first Art Basel show was started in Switzerland, but for the last 39 years Art Basel Miami has been the host to a great weekend of parties, music and art!

My friend Raina aka “Magic City Kitty“, hosted a great cocktail party at the Gibson Guitar Studio last night – this place was hot! Swarovski Crystal Guitars, Adidas Booth and free liquor… the perfect recipe for any party. Next, I met a friend of mine at the Kill Your Dolls concert — I’d never heard of them either — the crowd was amazing though, especially their fashion. I’ll post more pics on my weekend recap.

I ran across this site the other day and I thought it was a great idea for up-and-coming artists. Basically, REDBUBBLE is like an online art fair for artists of all kinds. Whether you’re a painter, graphic designer or photographer this is a great place to display your work and even sell it.  Not only does Redbubble create an online merchant account to help sell your work but they can also turn your art into t-shirts, calenders, canvas prints and anything else you can think of.

Registration is free, so if you have some art you’ve been wanting to sell here’s your perfect place.

Wes is an up-and-coming actor in South Florida. Basketball is his first love – this dude has a mean jumpshot. Look out for him on the silver screen and basketball courts.

Van is one of the coolest guys I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with when I was a pharmaceutical sales rep [my former life]. Although we worked for different companies he was always a great mentor, friend and fellow jokester. His beautiful sister Vandria was in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday and they both wanted some updated pics for family, friends and especially Grandma. I am really close with my little sister so I couldn’t get enough of this brother/sister love!
