One of the outlets I produce and host for is called The Welcome Channel, and their programming runs in thousands of hotel rooms in South Florida on a loop so look for it next time you visit! Here’s a look at a couple of the segments I put together for them on the Miami HEAT and Florida Marlins!
Okay so I already went to Indiana… I recently visited the University of Indiana-Bloomington to speak at the MAFA Conference, and they were happy to help me shoot the standups for my latest episode!! On this show, On The Flipside is on campus (freezing) and features NFL Tight End Daniel Wilcox, the beautiful Miss Anjelah Johnson on set for her new movie Our Family Wedding, the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in “Battle of the Beauties” and the Miami Dolphins Jason Taylor. Check it out On The Flipside!!
I had a great “girl’s weekend” with my crew from LA (technically they originally from the Bay, but reside in LA now)! The ladies came to celebrate Margie’s birthday and we had a blast!! Night one, we started off at the Sunset Lounge at the Mondrian Hotel.
….there we enjoyed this uber *EXCLUSIVE* Russian vodka! lol
And then we headed out to “PLAY” for some late night dancing with the 400 Club….
**note - we don’t know the guy in the above picture! lol BUT - we do know the ones in this pic…
Round 2 - the next night we did Margie’s birthday dinner at Prime 112…
…and snapped a picture with the one and only Myles!
We finally capped our night by going to The Florida Room at the Delano.
GREAT weekend, with lots of good times once again…I just won’t mention how I locked myself out the house and had to call a locksmith or when my truck got towed since I parked in a no parking zone! oops…I just did! haha Love my girls, can’t wait to do it again, I’ll have to come see ya in la la land next time!
A big THANKS to Chad and Matt of Carma PR for setting us up…luv you guys!!
I ventured to the Lone Star State last week for a couple reasons… #1 - visit my good friends Bec and Skip and their twins in their Dallas home (that I have failed to see since they moved there!) AND #2 - attend a few NBA All-Star events.
My first day in town it SNOWED and SNOWED…so, the babies took the opportunity to make me their snowball target!! I mean really, who taught them to do this? It’s okay, I know it’s because I’m their favorite Auntie!!
Thursday was just TOO snowy, but Friday we did manage to head out to the Lift Lounge and hang out…
I also ran into my girl Sonya from AZ and her crew. (Katie, Megan and Jennifer on my right)
Saturday afternoon I shot my All-Star show intros for On The Flipside (look out for the new episode) and that night attended the NBPA Gala.
Come Sunday it was time for the NBA All-Star game at the GINORMOUS Cowboys Stadium! The place is HUGE…and that screen is mind-blowing. I mean even if you’re there, you can’t really watch the game because you’ll just keep staring at the HD screen!
However, despite the freezing temps, massive crowds and traffic, at least I can say I’ve been there and was part of the history making 108k+ fans in attendance.
Lucky me I was treated to a seat in one of the luxury boxes…thanks Bec and Skip!
The game was great fun and a clear view of the halftime show featuring Shakira and Alicia Keys wasn’t bad either!!
My labor of love On The Flipside turns ONE with the Super Bowl - Ocean Drive episode! I started this journey about a year ago, deciding to do a show that I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t exist and here it is one year later after the debut Tampa show from the 2009 Super Bowl to 2010 on Ocean Drive. This edition has got it all with celebs from sports and entertainment, attending the hottest Super Bowl parties, walking the red carpet and partying it up by the pool..and make sure you watch it all the way through to see the 26 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an ultra sexy fashion show at the W Hotel in South Beach!

The NFL Pro Bowl is taking place in Miami for the first time ever, before a Super Bowl - it’s traditionally been held in Honolulu for the past 30 consecutive seasons the weekend after the NFL Championship game! So, since it’s in my backyard, I’ve been hustlin’ On The Flipside and hanging out with my girls! The first (Pro Bowl) event I attended was a Pro Bowl Cheerleader fashion show at the W Hotel on South Beach…featuring one lady from each of the 26 teams with “cheerleaders.”
This year 2 ladies I’ve danced with in the past are reppin’ their teams for the Pro Bowl. Amy from the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush (we actually were teammates on the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders). Also pictured is current Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Johanna who was helping me cover the event!
Raiderette Cole was selected to represent the Oakland Raiders. Cole and I were rookies together once upon a time…. 
My good friend/former ten-time Raiderette Jeanette, now Raiders.com correspondent, joined me at the “Battle of the Beauties” event in Fort Lauderdale…another one of our Raiderette sisters, Rebeca, also hung out with us to support our girl Cole!
The “Battle of the Beauties” event featured the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an AFC vs. NFC battle playing Beach Volleyball, Tug of War and Flag Football…
Time for a little “Step and Repeat”
Saturday night, Brewer Sports Int’l hosted a fashion show at the Mondrian Hotel featuring NFL players, and they threw in some swimsuit models for added sexy? Hey…that’s how we do it in Miami! lol
Among the models taking to the runway were retired NFL player Will Demps and current Dallas Cowboys Running Back Marion Barber…
It was a fun night out for me and the ladies…Rene, Me, Jeanette and Dara!
Amara also made a cameo appearance!
Good times…time to get ready for the game tonight, then a full week of SUPER BOWL craziness!
I LOVED this movie! So cute, original and refreshing - a totally new approach to the ‘romantic comedy’ genre!! Kristen Bell plays the career-oriented single gal who’s had her heart broken too many times and is starting to give up on the idea of “LOVE.” Ladies..I know ya’ll feel me on that! Anyway, her “luck” takes an interesting turn when she goes to Rome for her sister’s wedding and the story unfolds from there. This film has humor, charm, wit and it’s just fun! It stays away from the typical and injects other true to life scenario’s and events, so you can’t help but to smile! BTW, Josh Duhamel is looking very cute as her love interest in the movie as well… But yes, WATCH THIS, it’s not just for the ladies!! The only thing I wasn’t too keen on is the film’s title…but I enjoyed it so much, they can call it what they want!
AND — while watching, I couldn’t help but reminisce about when I was in Rome 3 years ago with my sisters…
They LOVED me and the sisters in Rome…the pizza-makers surprised us with “special” heart-shaped pizzas! Ahhh, the memories…of LUV!!
I decided to make a last minute trip to the Bay for Christmas to see the fam!
Always great to see my sisters Ade and Al…
…and of course my brother Adam who loves to get his “thizz” face on!
I also got to meet up with my girls and go to a cool lounge/restaurant spot in Oakland called MUA…
LOVED this Mussels dish with fries and aoili!!
I also stepped out in the Sucka Free to make a quick “appearance” at Atmosphere with Lucena
And what trip would be complete without going to a Warriors game…me and my sisters checked out Golden State taking on Boston Celtics…and of course me being there got them a W! lol
Good times!
