The Superbowl is Coming!


The 2 Superbowl teams have been decided: THE COLTS & THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS! But first this week we have the hype of the THE PRO BOWL taking place which is this Sunday January 31st here in Miami. The plane loads of people will start unloading today and I myself am looking forward to the business. I had a major Superbowl project,"SCORE 44" to take place this week, but only half the sponsors teams made it to the Superbowl, so I have 2 days to adjust the plan. Anyway here is one of images of artist PERRY MILOU in the style of what the painting "Score 44" would look like!

I will be posting some of the great events taking place the next two weeks, so stay tuned!

SCORE 44: A Superbowl Art Project Now Helping Haiti


Hello Everyone! If you follow me on Facebook & Twitter you have been hearing about our fabulous Superbowl project called "SCORE 44". A wonderful live 2 week painting of the Superbowl teams, scenes of Miami Beach/Miami, product sponsors, international & sports celebrities. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the painting were going to one of the NFL charities, but yesterday the game changed.

There was a massive earthquake in Haiti, and the devastation is beyond comprehension to put into words. This country and the Haitian people were already suffering (from many years of many things) but in particular the 4 hurricanes that hit the island in 2008. They were still suffering and most of the population barely surviving, when the earthquake struck. SCORE 44 has now turned into a relief effort for the people living in Haiti. SCORE 44 will donate the money it raises to http://www.wfp.org/how-to-help. We think donations for food is a good start and the World Food Program has these energy packages that they have mobilized to donate.

I'm reaching out to all of you to help. For donations, give a little or give a lot (we are asking for minimum donations of $20.00 but will take what you can give).






For SPONSORS to be painted in the SCORE 44 SUPERBOWL PAINTING a minimum of $1,000.00

Besides the money we raise from donations, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of SCORE 44, and the SPONSORS of SCORE 44 that are included in the painting, will have their names listed as donors to the charity.



This is first step in many that we will take in next few weeks leading up to the Superbowl. Let's make this a success!

Celebrating My Dear Friend Joey Rolon

Well I couldn't be happier! JOEY ROLON, one of the best designers and stylist to the stars, is back on Miami beach in his new store "Funky Sexy Couture". Now this genius knows how to make a woman look like a million bucks, without spending a million. When I look at all of my photos past & present; the ones where he dressed me, stand out like classic Audrey Hepburn photos.

So I'm helping him launch his new store located at 900 Washington Avenue (courtyard, parking lot...yes there is parking)! We are hosting him at my weekly Wednesday dinner party "Chef's Table at I Bishcheri in the Nash Hotel 1120 Collins Avenue.

So if you are in Miami Beach, stop by to see us and have a complimentary NUVO cocktail. The dinner is A La Carte or a the $35.00 3 course Chef Menu. Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday September 23rd 8pm!

New Bibi Event

I cannot believe that I have not posted for a month. I tried twice but something happened when uploading photos. This past month has been really busy with marketing and networking. Bibi now has a new event call "Chef's Table" at I Bischeri in The Nash Hotel 1120 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Here are some comic strips of the new event.





Next Wednesday I will be hosting a party for my dear friend Joey Rolon, who just opened a new store called "Funky Sexy Couture" 900 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach. His stuff is HOT, HOT, HOT! He is also looking for some hot menswear to put in the store, so if you know of anything, please contact him or let me know and I will forward the information.

Hope to see you all on Wednesday nights at I Bischeri!

Creativity!

The last few days my creativity is running high! Bibi needed a new marketing tool to work with, and this video works. One of the best things about making a visual presentation in this day and age, is the ability to deliver it and have it seen by lots of people. Thanks to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc, you can reach thousands to millions of people in no time. If I think just 10 years ago how impossible this would be without spending lots of money to advertise; it blows my mind. It takes nothing today to market ones self except time, some knowledge and a little patience. Money is not required.

I chose to keep it simple, but it represents the best of what I do and highlights the City of Miami Beach, with celebrities such as Oprah, George Clooney, Beyonce, Gloria Estefan and many others. Only celebrities that live, work or play here, can be in The Adventures of Bibi & Friends. Great nightlife such as Karu & Y & Louis nightclub at the Gansevoort Hotel, fabulous dining at Joe's Stone Crab, wonderful events such as The Wine & Food Festival. Of course included is Bibi Sports and Bibi Merchandise.

So please enjoy the presentation and feel free to post comments!

Working Away!







I have my nose to the grindstone here plugging away for http://www.artdecembermiami.com
I did have a fabulous weekend in Miami Beach. I was a tourist in my own home town for a day and did I have fun! Even my dog got in on the action. It was beautiful to see Miami from the water and the weather was just perfect. Hot but still perfect as you can see from the photo. Have to get back to work! Will post again soon!

So much to do, So little time!

In my free time of waiting at the doctors office today, I complied another list of things to do for the next two months. These projects (like updating websites) required a fare amount of time to complete. The process of getting all the new info and then the time to change it on the sites. My webmaster does a certain amount and I do the rest. I have notebooks of my things to do list. I'm happy to report that a LOT of it gets done, but then there is the process of making a new list when that one is complete. One of the tricks I find useful is to go back every few months to review and see if I have accomplished my goals. If not I bring it forward to the new list and keep working on it!

What I have realized over the years is that I GET A LOT HANDLED! So I don't beat myself up if there is something that hasn't been done yet, and instead keep my eye on the bigger picture. It is not the road I'm looking at, but the pleasure of the journey itself. What a great journey!
