Buster bounces around South Beach Miami with the Miami Parkour & Freerunning Team.
Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of movement) is an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—and can be practiced in both rural and urban areas.

DEATH RACE STAR NATALIE MARTINEZ: Pre Jason Statham

A few years ago when we first started the A3 Network, a couple of photographer friends of ours were doing a few shoots with a bubbly girl named Natalie who seemed to have an almost limitless amount of energy. It was that kind of high energy, fun and humor, not to mention her beauty that gave these photographers far more to work with than a typical model.

Since then Natalie moved to LA where her career has taken off with stints on the shows Fashion House, Saints & Sinners and now her co-starring role with action superstar Jason Statham in the remake of the classic sci-fi flick, Death Race.

Congrats to Natalie on all the success and check out the photo shoot videos we produced with her so many years ago!

The Cheek Kiss "Flinch" - You Know Its happened To You!

It always happens to me like this….I meet a girl and lean in to give her a harmless cheek kiss as part of my ritual greeting. As I pull away she turns her face and leans in for the other cheek, but abruptly stops herself as she sees me pulling back. At that same moment my brain registers her movement a millisecond too late and I lean back in just as she realizes I wasn’t going for the full two points. We share a brief moment of physical awkwardness, revealing our mutually deferring social mores. We have just executed the all too familiar “Cheek Flinch.”

Far more common in Europe, the Mediterranean and Latin America than in most of the US, cheek kissing’s most prevalent use in America is arguably right here in Miami. Depending on the local culture, cheek kissing may be considered appropriate between a man and a woman, a parent and a child, two women, or two men. The latter is socially accepted in Eastern and South Eastern Europe and in some countries of South Western Europe and the Middle East but may bring up associations with homosexuality in Asia, Latin America and the US.

Here in South Beach, with so many divergent cultures and backgrounds all melding together, its difficult to know what to go for when meeting someone. In the United States, adult cheek kissing is usually limited to one cheek, but is normally attributed as a “Big City” phenomenon. Here in Miami, with such a massive Latin and European influence it can tend to blow the bell curb, and as individuals from various cultures greet eachother, an epidemic of “Flinches” occur.

Here is a rough breakdown to help you find success in your never-ending act of social intercourse….

American: 1 (if any)
Latin: 1-2
French: 2-3 (depending on how hot the other person is!)
Italian: 2-3 (this is also widely accepted between males and culturally has no homosexual connotations)
Arabic: 3+ (Also widely accepted between males, but in some middle eastern countries it is considered inapropriate between male & female)

Whatever your choice, in Miami I attempt to go by this rule of thumb….

If you are a Gringo, always be consistent with one, but if you hear an accent, go for two….

This of course completely gets screwed up when American girls try and act European….but hey, in the absence of any wide sweeping consistent cultural norm, it’s better than nothing!

Lies, Propaganda, Capitalism: Why We Celebrate CINCO DE MAYO!

In bars all over the United States they are preparing their sombreros and tequila shots in advance of one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year, Cinco De Mayo....or for us gringos, the 5th Of May. But Why do we celebrate it?

If you ask most Americans, the popular beleif is that the 5th of May comemorates Mexico's Independance Day....this however is completly false.

Mexico's Independance Day is celebrated on September 16th, and in reality Cinco De Mayo is all but ignored within the borders of our neighbor to the South. The holiday actually commemorates the victory of Mexican troops over the invading French at the first Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

One year later, as a propaganda move in order to rally support and galvanize Mexicans living in California to support then Mexican president Benito Juarez and his troops from a second invasion by the french, Californians threw a party to celebrate the previous years victory of Puebla on the 5th of May. Cinco De Mayo.....

Unfortunately the celebration didn't work quite the way they were expecting and after two months of heavy fighting the French defeated the Mexican troops, but the struggle became a symbol of heroic resistance for Mexicans living in California, and has been celebrated every year since.

Today, like most holidays certain commercial interests, in this case beer a liquor companies, have taken it upon themselves to diligently market the holiday nation-wide throughout in order to do what they do best......sell stuff.

.....and as we all know, most americans need little in the way of an excuse to party.

So this Cinco De Mayo, as you raise your Corona or that shot of Cuervo remember, VIVA AMERICAN CONSUMERISM!........and don't forget to tip you bartender....

Ex-Gov Spitzer's Hooker Sues Girls Gone Wild For $10 Mill!

According to the Miami Herald the escort of the former New York Governor Elliott Spitzer is suing Girls Gone Wild for capitalizing on her newfound infamy by repackaging a video from 5 years ago. While just under the tender age of 18 Ashley Alexandra Dupre' who went by the escort name Kristen ran into Girls Gone Wild founder (and ex-con) Joe Francis outside the Chesterfield Hotel on Collins Avenue in South Beach. The suit alleges that they got her drunk and convinced her to expose her breasts to the camera in one of the hotel rooms.

The Fashion Art Ball Is This Friday!

Featuring a charity poker tournament and a dozen local party boys walking the runway to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis, Tommy Pooch & Alan Roth's Fashion Art Ball (which could be shortened to "F.ART BALL" if you are a smarmy asshole like me) always brings out Miami's fabulous 300 local scenesters.

The funny thing to me is the fact that on the invitation for the event it only indicates BETSY JOHNSON fashions, yet the fun part of this annual even is when local personalaties like Thomas Kramer, Michael Dreiling, Eric Milon, DJ Irie, Shareef Malnik, Director Brett Ratner (and yes, even me) hit the runway. But considering that the only fashions indicated as part of the show are BETSY JOHNSON does this mean that we will all prettymuch be walking in drag?

I guess you will need to buy yourself a ticket and find out!

Introducing "JARMO'S PIC OF THE WEEK!"

A Musical Making Fun Of Musicals! Oh, the Irony!

Thanks to superstar PR god and internationally renown sex machine Charlie Cinnamon, I was able to see a preview performance of the hit musical from New York, "Forbidden Broadway." If you are a fan of theatre (and being one of the only straight guys at a performing arts college in Boston, you either ARE a fan or you don't graduate) then you will love this original musical that completly spoofs almost all major broadway shows and regular characters. It's heavy on reference humor, so be warned that if you haven't seen shows like A Chorus Line, Fiddler On The Roof, Wicked, Cats, Les Miserables, Chicago and pretty much every major stage show to hit broadway in the last 50 years then you would probably far more enjoy the latest Will Ferrell movie Semi-Pro.

Forbidden Broadway starts on MARCH 24th at the newly re-named (and bailed out) Carnival Center, now known as the Adrienne Arsht Center For The Performing Arts.

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION: Buster In "Night Weekly"

For their special WMC issue, the Sun Post's new progressive weekly publication, "NIGHT WEEKLY" somehow got it into their heads that profiling me would be a good idea.

Those poor deluded bastards.......

Pick one up for free throughout Miami all this week.

"King of night life TV

It’s Friday night. Skip the $1,000
table and, instead, stay home and tune
into A3TV, America’s first night life and
style network.

The cutting-edge TV concept focuses on fashion, nightlife, clubs, photo shoots and progressive music, and has produced the hottest DJ interviews and performances, featured the sexiest models and created some of the funniest original sketches in quite some time.
Since the launch of A3TV in September 2003, the network has been broadcasted to millions of living rooms throughout South Florida, including Miami Beach, Hollywood, Stuart and West Palm Beach.
The master behind the magic of A3 is Boston-born Buster Cox, whose real name is Justin Altshuler. Buster’s charm, wit and sheer sex appeal have made him the toast of South Beach and a certifiable star who’s plugged viewers into some of South Florida’s most exclusive parties.
He’s interviewed everyone in the industry, but his favorite was with the legendary British DJ Paul Oakenfold. “I had preconceptions before I met him, but it turns out he’s a great guy,” Buster said. “I was always fascinated with how comfortable he is with people, how he makes you feel comfortable. I mean, he asked more questions
than I did.”
Still, on most evenings, this experienced broadcaster prefers to chill at
his South Beach flat. “You know, you can become jaded after 200 30-second conversations in a night that end up going nowhere,” he said. “I’m lucky that I’m not an industry guy. I’m comfortable at home watching the The Daily Show and Steven Colbert and playing Halo3. I guess I’m attempting to live up to a reputation of being the party guy when, in reality, I’m only out once or twice a week.
For music, fashion and party aficionados, A3TV is Must See TV.

Rock Bands Don't Play In Peoria!

The Good: Local boy Lee Dahlberg got his cool jewelery brand "ROCK BANDS" featured on CNBC's THE BIG IDEA With Donny Deutch last night in a segment called "Will it play in Peoria?" (A play on a term meaning "Will it be a hit with mainstream America.")

The Bad: Although the people who were asked loved the look, when they got to the $250 price tag, the people in Peoria were turned off.

It really doesn't matter though as Lee has whored out his brand in every gifting suite from Volleypalooza to the Super Bowl getting them on some very big celebrity wrists.

My View: FUCK PEORIA! If it's good enough for Christian Slater it's good enough for me! I mean really....didn't you see Pump Up The Volume!

Celebrity Photographer SETH BROWARNIK Takes the plunge!

Celebrity photographer Seth Browarnik (seen with me here in one of our various "let's be weird" pictures) popped the question to long-time girlfriend Melissa Katz (seen with some other guy below) from Ocean Drive Magazine.

On a personnal note: Seth and I started our "South Beach Scene" adventures together around 1999 while we were working for a small format scene magazine called Ego Trip. He then went on the work for severall magazines finally landing at Ocean Drive and Wire Image. Through his outstanding likability and talent for making freinds, he eventually gained more access than any other photographer in Miami. Celebrities coming to Miami would even call Seth to make sure they know what is going on when they came down to South Beach.

Today Seth has two assistants, Peter and Spencer who handle his various "Club" shots while Seth is whisked away to various global locations to shoot. Wether it's travelling with Lenny Kravitz to Brazil during his Live Earth concert or access into the most exclusive Super Bowl events, Seth has come a long way from the time he was shooting live chickens at 9am on the patio at Space.

Congratulations to Seth and Melissa from all of us at A3!

SIDE NOTE: Melissa should keep her name, as few people actualy know how to pronounce Browarnik properly anyway(Bro-War-nik)

Pulse 87: New Dance Music Radio Station Launches In New York City

Ladies and Gentelmen, Dance Music has returned to major market radio.

Playing a mix of Top 40 remixes and the big dance hits, Mega Media in New York City has launched PULSE 87.7 in the #1 radio market in the US. Mega Media is an independant signal broadcasting from the low power audio signal of a TV broadcaster, but covers Manhattan and the surrounding burroughs.

Because of it's TOP 40 Remix and dance "HIT" factor, electronic music geeks I'm sure will bandy about words like "Cheesy" and "Commercial" on various nightlife forums like Cooljunkie.com, Clubplanet.com and talknightlife.com. But in the end, the globally connected dance music culture has found itself a rare addition to its precious few American radio outlets.

In Miami the beat has certainly not stopped as every night after 10pm, Y100 becomes CLUB 100, a beat-mixed popourri of Y100's hit tracks before midnight or broadcasts from various clubs. Then late night, the exceptional Cato K presents his "Club Sessions" show.

Check it all out at Y100.com

Buster Voices Various Characters In The New Video Game: OBSCURE - The Aftermath

I'm a gamer, i can play Halo 3 online getting my ass kicked by 11-years-olds for hours. So when I was asked by a dutch company to voice a series of characters for a video game called OBSCURE: The Aftermath, I jumped at the chance.

In the game I played 3 of the 4 main male characters and a couple of extra voices here and there. Take a listen....or pick up a copy for the Playstation 2 or WII.

It was one hell of a music adventure with almost 400 professional partiers from all over the country. We partied on the ship, on the beach and in Nassau, Bahamas. Only now am I getting coherent enough to blog about it. The bottom line is, if you have ever wanted to go on a cruise, but were afraid it would be too many famalies, old people and DJ's that play the Macerena....then the Groove Cruise is for you.

Don't miss out on the Groove Cruise LA: July 25th-27th.

Sexy Camilla's Water Show At The Versace Mansion On South Beach

This hot little Latina knows how to move like few others. In South Beach she is well knows for her "Water Shows" and here is one she did for us while at a Brazillian Bikini party at Casa Casuarina.

Sometimes you don't need a shirt, just some paint and a lot of creativity. (boobs might help as well)

These sexy girls were found cavorting at Casa Casuarina, AKA The Versace Mansion on South Beach's Ocean Drive wearing little more than acrylic paint for a top. Considering what the ravages of gravity can do to the human body over time, I would say that the paint holds up pretty well providing far more support than one would imagine.

Miami Beach Ordinance To Strip Homeowners of Property Rights

On Wednesday January 16, 2008, the City of Miami Beach passed on first reading a sweeping and draconian zoning regulation which will ban many social gatherings and simple business transactions in private homes. If you’re caught throwing a baby shower or a birthday party, or if during your spring cleaning you sell four modest items in your house on E-Bay, you will be fined over $42,000.00 – and it can’t be waived by the special master for any reason.
Entitled “Commercial Use of Single Family Homes Prohibited”, the ordinance contains several alarming restrictions on the use of homes. For example, section 1(c)(1)(b) of the Ordinance prohibits the sale of “goods, property or services” exceeding $100 “offered for sale on or at the property”. This provision makes it illegal for:
• Miami Beach residents to sell their old bicycles, cars, furniture, computers or other unused property through classified ads or on Ebay.
• Professionals such as attorneys to work from their homes.
• To sell Tupperware, Avon cosmetics or other perform other direct marketing.

Likewise, the ordinance prohibits a homeowner from receiving “payment or other consideration… in excess of $100.00 per party or event for the use of the property.” As a result it will now be an illegal “commercial use” for:

• Five friends to plan a SuperBowl party where each chips in $25.00 to cover the cost of refreshments.
• Any resident to have a social gathering, such as a birthday party or wedding shower where the host receives more than $100 in gifts.
• Houseguests to reimburse their host for food or cleaning costs greater than $100.00.
• A resident to allow their home to be used for a relative’s wedding, graduation party or other gathering, if the owner receives any compensation in excess of $100.00 to cover costs associated with the gathering.
• A charity to provide any compensation to a homeowner for the use of a home for fundraising or education purposes.

“Every person in this city should ask their commissioner ‘how will the city know which gatherings are commercial’? This ordinance is going to be enforced by Code Inspectors peering through windows. No one likes noise or parking impacts- but those should be addressed by the noise Ordinance.”

Further, the ordinance indicates that any Code Compliance Officer may shut down a gathering without due process of law. This is going to be a field day for First Amendment attorneys. The City has mistakenly shut down non-commercial parties in the past, and they know they will again. When the City shuts down your wedding without cause, that’s a costly tragedy for which you should be compensated. When they mistakenly shut down your political gathering, that’s a constitutional quagmire.”

Another aspect of the ordinance would make it illegal to host an open house for the purposes of selling homes after 8:00 PM. This is going to have a huge impact on home sales, transaction times and prices at a time where homes are already selling slowly.

DO SOMETHING: Cut a past a copy of this letter or one of your own and email the Miami Beach City Comission!!!!!

Dear Commissioner,

I am a Miami Beach resident and am concerned about the ordinance that you are considering enacting into law in February.

I agree with you that noise, garbage, and parking issues that may be associated with parties are bad. However, there are existing laws on the books that address these concerns.

I am in favor of allowing homeowners to have private, invite only parties within their homes. Please DO NOT interfere will my rights as a resident to entertain within my home! I trust that you will make the right decision and not turn Miami Beach into a boarded up retirement community.


Please, maintain the spirit of Miami Beach.

Thanks for your consideration.

Tip To Be A VIP: The Bodyguard Trick

Nothing says VIP like having your own bodyguard...and although most of us either don't need nor can afford a real body guard, it certainly gets people (especially the ladies) asking the question: "Who is that guy?"

So here is a great way to influence shallow people.....get your LARGEST friend and ask him to dress up in his best suit and play your bodyguard for the evening. Sunglasses and a possible fake "earpiece" add to the mistique. Get yourself on the list of a high end cocktail party with an open bar (Avoid clubs if you can because of the need to proove your "VIP-ness" by spending money on a table).

Make sure to rehearse with your "bodyguard" certain very important things...

When you're in the party have him approach women for you. "Excuse me ladies, my name is (insert interesting bodyguard name here IE: Olaf), I am the personnal security of Mr. Cox and he would like to invite you all to join him in a cocktail.

***Remember***

STAY MYSTERIOUS - The more mysterious the better, when the girls ask who he is and why he needs a bodyguard simply have your guy reply "I'm sorry but I'm not at liberty to say. (or words to this effect)"

.....nothing will peak the curiosity of those girls more than trying to figure out who you are and what you do......you can keep them hooked all night long.

And don't worry about your bouncer, as long as he gets a few girls at once, he will have plenty of oportunity to hit on the left-overs.

Club Stereotypes: The Wallflower

Photo By Seth - Red Eye Productions

Standing at whatever table she finds with a bottle to suckle from, she is as much of an accessory as an imitation Coach bag. Often but not always a model, wallflowers are rarely found dancing but sometimes slightly gyrating a good half-beat off throwing sideways bourgeois glances like knives. Typically clad in something skimpy, she is the ultimate eye candy, as beautiful as Michelangelo's Venus, equally as interesting, just as intelligent.
Typically found at A-list venues like SET and MOKAI, this species of clubber is always taken care of.

Rarely do they leave an area less than five feet around the parameter of the table they have latched themselves on to (unless going to the bathroom of course)the Wallflower rarely speaks unless spoken to or handed a glass of champagne.

THE MARTINI CONSPIRACY: Another Buster Theory

There is wild speculation about the history of the Martini and in point of fact it seems the actual origins of the drink are shrouded in the annals of time. Some say it was invented in Martinez, California when a bartender mixed a drink for a visiting miner who placed an olive in the glass before handing it to him and named it after his town. Still another story says the name came from the Martini & Henry rifle used by the British in 1871, the hook being that both the rifle and the drink "had a kick."

Personally, I'm not a Martini drinker, so I really don't give a crap about who invented the drink. What I do give a crap about is who the asshole is who came up with the actual glass the Martini is traditionally served in.....moreover due to it's completly illogical and innefficient design, I beleive the vessel to be a conspiracy by bar and club owners leading all the way back to the early 1900's.

Here's My Theory: Logical thinking would pre-suppose that a vessel created to hold a liquid would need to do so efficiently without spillage. The Martini glass is possibly the most innefficient design for holding liquid possible. As we all know, you cannot walk around a party with a full Martini glass, knowing that if you did you would end up with more on the floor than down your throat. Therefore, the glass is inherently designed for you to remain at the bar while you drink it leving you in the perfect position to order another as soon as the last drops are gone. If you do decide to chance it and cruise for babes, then through spillage, the glass becomes empty just as quickly and a new drink is needed to be purchased.

This completly inneficient design lends itself to high turnover and my beleif is that the Martini Glass in and of itself began as a conspiracy by bars owners to sell more drinks.

My tip: next time you ask for a Martini.....ask for it to be served in a wine glass. You may look like an asshole, but you'll be better off in the end.

TODAY IS JANUARY 14th!

YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SAY "HAPPY NEW YEAR" ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!

Consider yourself informed.

The Cameo Flood - South Beach Venue Busts A Pipe

Photo By Dan Vidal

Last Sunday morning around 3:30am, while DJ Robbie Rivera was destroying the main room of Cameo on South Beach, one of the guests in the VIP section behind the DJ booth thought it was a good idea to hang from one of the pipes above his table.

The pipe didn't think so and soon burst flooding the VIP section and dancefloor below.

"The Water was everywhere and everyone ran to the other side of the stage." said Robbie from his Miami studio. "The bouncers handled everything very professionally and the music had to be turned off for about :30 seconds. It was a buzz killer, big time....but still an amazing night!"

IN THEIR WORDS......The Ibiza After Hours Closings - Ben Turner

BEN TURNER FROM GRAPHITE MEDIA & EDITOR OF BOTH PACHA & SOHO HOUSE'S HOUSE MAGAZINE.

"Club culture in the late 1980s in the UK was once
all about illegal partying, and the government implemented laws to restrict
them happening. This decision is the reverse. Legal clubs operating after
6am are now being forced to close, which will in return become a headache as
more and more illegal events will now happen. You simply can't stop the fact
that people go clubbing very late in Ibiza (2-3am) and like to go to bed
much later than 6am - indeed simply cqn't go to bed at 6am. Last summer,
despite Amnesia being closed by the police at the start of the season, some
of the best ever Cocoon after-hours parties occurred, posing a bigger job
for the authorities to deal with and police. I fully agree that the traffic
flashpoints for parents and workers with revellers is a situation to be
avoided, but this decision will not make much difference to this problem.
What could happen is that more and more people are switched off from even
going to Ibiza, which is where the decision will bite the government the
hardest. It does appeaer that the Ibiza government do noT want partygoers to
even go to the island - anybody reading this blog is intelligent enough to
know that dance culture is the reason the island is so famous, and there is
so much good that comes from that. As Miami itself can testify."
