Last Week in Review
Monday, Jan 16th was the annual Miss Noche Latina Pageant held at The Manor and once again the show was fabulous! In the end the winner was Alexis Mateo of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 3. I am sure, as a Latina from Puerto Rico she will carry the crown beautifully and promote the pageant all year long in the Tampa Area, where she resides, and throughout the state. On Tuesday Broward House presented their annual Spirit of Hope awards luncheon at Dapur and Hotspots Media Group was proud to be one of the honorees. It was a very nice luncheon and owner of Dapur Eddie was, as usual, extremely hospitable. On Wednesday, Wilton Manors Main Street presented “A Day in the Life of Wilton Manors” featuring the top 100 businesses at a luncheon at The Manor Complex. The who’s who of business owners in Wilton Manors was there and it was a nice getaway from the daily grind.
Friday night was the monthly Art Walk down Wilton Drive featuring lots of art work from up and coming and established artists. It was a beautiful night to walk up and down the drive and see lots of art.
Saturday Discotekka presented the Black and White Ball in honor of TP Lords and Danny Vilar’s birthday and the crowds came out to celebrate and also to hear the music of DJ Escape who kept the dance floor busy all night long. On Sunday the Coral Reef Guesthouse presented The Men of Ruff Riders Pool Party with hot boys wearing Ruff Riders shirts (and taking them off). The place had a great crowd, so much so that it took me 15 minutes to find a spot to park, but it was definitely worth the effort to see all those cute men in bathing suits!

Sidelines Sports Bar is thrilled to announce its plans for Super Bowl Sunday, the highlight of NFL’s 2011 season. This year, Sidelines is hosting the ultimate tailgate and Super Bowl party, one that Wilton Manors, FL will long remember. In addition, to the parties, Sidelines has elected to donate a portion of the day’s sales to the Florida AIDS Walk 2012. For fans who wish to celebrate the big game, a tailgate party has always been an essential part of the day’s activities. So, in conjunction with several co-sponsors, vendors and liquor distributors, “The Ultimate Jack Daniels Tailgate Party” will take place directly in the parking lot adjacent to the building where Sidelines is located (Wilton Drive & 20th Street). The tailgate party will take place from 1 pm to Super Bowl game time at 6:30 pm. The parking lot will be transformed into a carnival-like football experience including bar and beer tents, and a tailgating BBQ grill & food station. There will also be interactive theme park-like games, giant displays, and musical entertainment featuring DJ Jared Michael.
