I’m Not Gonna Talk Much!

because this eyecandy  can easily speak for itself!

But, I found out about this event just a few hours prior by randomly going to nba.com/heat. I wanted to see if there was a Heat game going on, but instead I saw that a runway showcase was going down right on the steps of the American Airlines Arena… for free ! I canceled my plans and got ready immediately. Ha

The 2009-2010 Miami Heat Dancers

sported just a few of the many outfits that they will be wearing throughout their regular season performances. The Dancers made their introduction on stage via a white limousine, which was unexpected.

During the intermission, several clips were shown on the jumbo screen, which depicted the journey that these ladies went through to get the position as a Heat Dancer.

[ It was funny because while Yesenia [one of 25 dancers] walked the runway, the announcer bursted out “Folks, she’s all Miami” = hysterical]

Die-Hard Heat Fans? Extinct

I’ve noticed for a while now that there is a limited amount of ‘die-hard’ Heat fans, which was definitely portrayed through the attendance turnout of this event. I promise you, no more than 100 people came to support the Heat Dancers, and at least 30 of us were press. =/ Crazy!

Would you believe that this runway showcase

was only 1 of over 150 events going on during Audi’s Sleepless Night at Miami Beach ?… Damn near simultaneously. Insanity of Miami culture and entertainment !

When you come to South Florida during early November, “Sleepless Night” is a must, for serious. The 13-hour series of events are free and spread throughout 20 blocks of Miami Beach. Learn even more about it at the link above.

I finally popped my “Sleepless Night” cherry

with this attendance. ^^ But sadly enough, the only event on the schedule that stood out was this runway showcase at Nikki Beach! It was dubbed “What Women Want” and featured swimsuit fashions exclusively from SNK swimwear designer Mirla Sabino. The models were chosen from ANK by Mirla Sabino and Salinas Swimwear.

I didn’t go alone, unsurprisingly. I accompanied a few media colleagues [ Gabriel, Nancy & Sam ] and we all decided, with crazy bias, that swimwear on the catwalk was easily going to be the highlight of the night ! Hope you enjoy all of them. c;
