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!!!!!!!!!!

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."

TROUBLE IN PARADISE: Ibiza bans After Hours Parties

According to DJ MAG, the government of Ibiza, a small island off the coast of Spain widely regarded as the club capitol of the world has banned clubs from being open between the hours of 6am and 10am.

This is a massive blow to a place widely accepted as epitomizing freedom and expression, and is also culturally important to the global movement of dance music as many artist site Ibiza as a place that inspires the creation of new and different music.

In Miami Beach, just after the turn of the Millennium, the city commission voted to ban after hours venues that called themselves "Juice Bars" along with outlawing 18+ venues as well. Shortly thereafter the city of Miami wanted to revive the dilapidated Park West district of Downtown Miami, and released a limited number of 24 hour liquor licenses and Miami's downtown "After Hours" culture was born. Now with development of high rise residences, that culture may in danger as well. Only time will tell, but it seems no matter where in the world you are...there always someone who wants to keep us from dancing.

Club Space Live Broadcasts - Remember Those?

So as many of you may remember, a few years ago there was a radio station created in Miami focused on dance music called Party 93.1.

I had the pleasure of working there for as the station's Promotions Director and on-air personality. Every Saturday night for an extended period of time I would broadcast live for three hours from Club Space. At the time, Space had one of the largest and most consistent line-up's of names in the country and I was previleged to broadcast with names like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Oscar G, Steve Lawler, Roger Sanchez and many more.

In fact, just behind the DJ booth was a tiny little bathroom just big enough for a toilet and sink that would double as my broadcast booth. I would also use the bathroom to interview these artist before their set, so in all probability I have the somewhat questionable record for being in a bathroom with the most big name DJ's in the world. (INSERT SMARMY CLUB/BATHROOM JOKE HERE)

To me, those broadcasts will forever be etched in my memory as some of the most special moments I have ever experienced in 15 years I have been clubbing.

Recently someone sent me a download link to one of the broadcasts featuring Tiesto Live From Club Space on August 18th, 2002....

I remember it vividly as a definiting moment for my understand of what a DJ can do. Where the music, lights and crowd collide to create a breif explosion of energy.

When I listen to this mix, it still brings me back to those moments (with a chill running down my back.)

The Two-Time #1 DJ In The World Says The Top 100 List Is Really #2

Photos by Seth: Red Eye Productions

German trance god and self described "music geek" Paul Van Dyk responds to his matriculation from #1 to #4 on the influencial DJ MAG TOP 100 in a recent interview with .

PVD states: “With all the cheating and bullshit that went on this year, I don’t think it is an honour to be on top of that list. Because the question still is, ‘did the people who are in top of that list cheat or not?’ Because you don’t really know."

In this year's competition, severall DJ's were disqualafied from the poll for multiple votes from the same IP address. Most notably accused perhaps were West Coast spinners DJ Dan and Christopher Lawerence (PIC), whose shared marketing manager pulled some electronic trickery to boost his guys up on the list. The two were disqualafied, the marketing manager terminated immediatly and Dan and Chris were eventually exonnerated by magazines staffers.

Is Trance Dead? This Guy Seems To Think So...

Photo By Seth: Red Eye Productions

Dance music pundit and west coast media scribe Dennis Romero has written a fascinating article about the state of trance music:

"...by the millennium, trance had melted down into an ecstasy-fueled orgy of synth arpeggios-gone-wild. If there’s good trance out there today, I’d like to know where to find it. It certainly isn’t in the super-clubs, where Armani Exchange-adorned dorks with glow sticks and bottle-service tables have turned the trance scene into a satire about the shallowness of contemporary capitalism."

A3's Paris Hilton Run-Ins

Ok, so she is in Miami ALL THE TIME, and we are often out with cameras. But really we just aren't these asshole paparazzi guys that jump out of the bushes looking for a panty-less crotch shot.
But when the oportunity arises, we keep our cameras rolling.
We caught her during Art Basel at the Versace mansion (ok, fine I'll call it Casa Casuarina)

Our real question is, who the hell is that guy with the weird fuzzy hat?
