Booby Fest 2010


Crazy to think that there should be a fest regarding the perfection and embellishment of the boobies, but hey this is Miami, plastic surgery is implied.  So the Vice had the honor of attending the esteemed plastic surgeon, Dr. Leonard Rudner's Booby Fest 2010.A party praising silicone enhanced beauty.  With celebrities ranging from Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. to Vince Shlomi, A.K.A. the Shamwow Guy, the event was something to be remembered.  Not only because of the abundance of the bodacious bodies but the entertainment, including half clad cupids, robotized super models rooftop DJs and booby cupcakes.  Waiting anxiously at what is in store for Booby Fest 2011. 

Be part of Booby Fest 2011 and schedule your consultation with Dr. Rudner by visiting: www.drlenny.com.

Cavalia



Cavalia, one event where horses are the main show and magic comes from water, air and sand.  From the same creators of Cirque du Soleil, this two-hour event keeps you mesmerized at how strong the bond between man and  a horse has become throughout the years.  "The horse is God's gift to Man," an Arabian Proverb is one of the many quotes that welcomes you as you enter the white tent. It sets the stage perfectly and makes you understand that there is nothing more powerful than the friendship between a man and its horse.

With a team of 64 horses made up of 28 stallions and 36 geldings (neutered males), you are able to sense how the discipline of dressage is established as you see them walk with such unison, elegance and precision.  There is a mix of elements of time, as they show Wild West lasso twirling, Roman riding and medieval magic. Flying acrobats and aerialists, plus live musicians, make the whole experience out of this world.

Why So Blue?


Forget the notion that having the "case of the blues" represents a bad thing.  What comes to your mind when you see a bright blue sky? Purity? Prosperity? Freedom? What is it about a specific color that immediately makes a subconscious image in your mind?  For some reason, our minds react toward colors and emulate a special significance and an emotional feeling associated to it.  Lets explore the color blue.
 
Blue has always had a special meaning to a bride, according to tradition; they should always remember something blue.  But what is it about this color that has transmitted such a special connotation throughout the years?  Well, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries.  According to ancient history, brides wore blue in Rome to symbolize love, modesty and fidelity.  This idea is believed to have been created by the typical image seen in the Virgin Mary, who has always been featured wearing blue.

And where did the sense of calmness and prosperity come from?  It was thought that when our ancestors looked upon the blue of a new day, they felt safe after experiencing the fear of the previous night.
Now, dark blue is a total different story.  It has been associated with power and authority as we see on uniforms of policeman. It is surprising how the same color has different meanings.  So what does the color blue represent to you?

Carnaval or is it Carnival?










The carnivals are in full swing in most of the Caribbean and South America, and their music, colors and folklore have invaded the US.  All around town you will be sure to bump into one of these celebrations. If it is either the samba from Brazil, the cumbia from Colombia or the calypso from Trinidad and Tobago, one sure thing they share is the same yearning feeling for their homeland and desire to party.  So dance the night away!
