May 8, 2013

Margaritas, Mariachis, Red Peppers…yes it was a weekend filled with Cinco de Mayo celebrations all over South Florida. On Friday, Score presented a Single de Mayo party where your necklace told the message of what you wanted (green meant you were single, red taken and yellow open to suggestions…

It’s always nice to know who is available…LOL! On Saturday, Bill’s had their annual Cinco party with Porsche and Sherry Vine, Over at the Manor, Noche Latina Saturdays had the patio (which was packed) decorated with real fiesta flare, something right out of Mexico. In Miami, Score celebrated Hilton Wolman’s birthday with DJ Abel; Coliseum celebrated by having guest star Coco Montrese, direct from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5; and Discotekka celebrated their owner’s, Joe Marcella’s birthday.

On Sunday, I headed over to Flip Flops Dockside Eatery for their monthly (1st Sunday of each month) T-Dance, which is the only T Dance on the Intracoastal. The night featured my buddy DJ Silvio and hostess Amanda Austin who worked the crowd with some dazzling performances. Flip Flops is a fun place to hang out, eat some comfort food, and watch the boats go by on the beautiful Intracoastal waterway. Later on, the Palace in South Beach celebrated Missy Meyakie LePaige birthday with a huge party where they surprised Missy and crowned her the first ever Miss Palace. Missy is a creative and fabulous entertainer and definitely someone you should keep your eye on!
