What's HOT South Florida :: 07/30 - 8/05

Last Thursday, The Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC) presented its Spotlight Mega-Mixer Networker at Bacardi's Headquarters and featured free food bites and cocktails courtesy of Bacardi & GREY GOOSE Vodka and was a great chance to mingle and network in a beautiful environment.

Friday night we felt like country, so we headed to Scandals to hang with the cowboys. As always, Scandals was hopping! Saturday was filled with events and places to go. It started with the once a month FAT Art Walk, which always features amazing artists and is a visual pleasure. Afterwards, we headed down to Miami and the first stop was Floppy Roosters, where we saw many things flop around on beautiful men. Then we headed to Club Bailo for some Latin infusion and ran into Milancita, Ivan of Miami Beach Gay Pride and of course the diva of the house Marytrini. It was then off to the beach for the re-opening of Club Boi in the downstairs space at Score. From what I saw, the Bruthaz really like the move and it looks like they found a permanent home. Afterwards it was off to Club Bekkoi for La Puta Nota afterhours and we ran into Raul Vegas and some of his friends while listening to the fabulous beats of Carlos G.
