Romero Britto and Cecilia Paz
The 80′s were in full force on Aug 7, as Madonna look-a-like’s and new waver’s were walking about and strutting their costumed and “real-time” outfits. Nick D’Annunzio and friend, Brian Antoni celebrated a fun-filled, nostalgic, yet modern throwback to the time when some of us (myself included) adored bands like New Order, Devo and Depeche Mode. Leave it to Tara Solomon, Nick’s fiancee to tie it all in with her embellished, stylish outfit complete with fuschia-colored hose and heels. Glitter, glam, and a lot of hairspray dominated the scene as two DJs spun tunes from Michael Jackson, The Vapors and The Go-Go’s.
My lovely friend, Gloria wore some jeans I designed with her portrait on them looking stylish as always and I decided to match my outfit to my hair, face and make-up. It was quite fun, even though we arrived fashionably late. I missed the birthday boy that evening, yet his signature photo was printed on fans to keep us cool that evening, so we felt he was still around. It was a great idea as it was a HOT Miami night.
Brian Antoni, famed writer of “South Beach, The Novel” was also celebrating his 40th birthday among a very colorful bunch. His sister, is the world-renown conceptual artist, Janine Antoni, whom I teach my students about as she is published in books for her controversial performance art.
Lastly, we danced with a few new found friends and saw the well-known Brazilian and beloved Miami artist, Romero Britto, as well. The 80′s are back by popular demand. Just check out any current magazine and studded leather jackets, baggy jersey dresses, palazzo pants, booties and zippered shoes are back and now classified as: Edgy.
