Do you know about Gianni Versace? The late Italian fashion designer achieved fame for his eye for style as well as for the home he lived in right here in Miami Beach. In 1997, his death made headlines and it is the subject of the upcoming second season of the Emmy-winning American Crime Story anthology series, appropriately titled The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

Versace’s lavish Mediterranean-style home was known as Casa Casuarina and it sat unused for many years after his passing. It has now taken on new life as a high-end boutique hotel called The Villa Casa Casuarina. Despite the tweak in the name and its reinvention from a home to a hotel, the mansion still retains some of the unique details that Versace added to the home prior to his death. Guests can take a dip in the pool lined with 24-karat gold tiles, relax admire the view on the rooftop observatory, or get some rest on the massive beds that require the use of custom-made sheets. When it comes time to dine, guests can have their meal in Versace’s dining room which is now a gourmet restaurant.

Do you play video games at all? If you do, you may be at least somewhat familiar with Just Dance, a popular rhythm game series. The series debuted in 2009 and has since spawned a number of highly successful sequels, the latest being Just Dance 2018 featuring songs by artists like multiplatinum singer-songwriter Shakira, Selena Gomez, Luis Fonsi (perhaps best known to American audiences for the massive hit “Despacito”), and many more. Today, Just Dance is the number one music video game franchise.

Just Dance’s popularity has grown enough to the point where the game has now evolved and spawned a live concert tour. Just Dance Live will be debuting its pilot tour right here in Miami Beach, at the Fillmore to be specific. The show will celebrate all of the qualities that have made Just Dance so popular: the dance moves, the costumes, and of course the great music.

Just Dance Live will have its first show on Thursday, March 8^th and will run until the 11^th. If you’ve ever played one of the games, it should be a fun experience! For those of you that are fans of the franchise, will you be purchasing tickets to the show?

The Art Basel Miami Beach festivities are kicking off today, but that’s not the only art-related event taking place in South Florida. Also opening its doors today is the 13^th edition of the PULSE Contemporary Art Fair. The fair aims to connect an international community of budding and established galleries with a dynamic platform to reach an audience around the world.

This year’s PULSE has a new director who has done an incredible job of welcoming more than sixty galleries from five continents. She is also debuting more than twelve first time exhibitors at this year’s fair.

With so much different art to check out, there are a couple worth noting that you may want to admire during your visit, beginning with the Christopher Moller Gallery which is representing artist Tony Gum. Gum will be showcasing her most recent work titled ‘Ode to She’ which captures the essence of what it means to be a Xhosa woman, a Bantu ethnic group of Southern Africa.

Nigerian artist Nnenna Okore is known for her elaborate organic and twisted structures intended to emulate the fine details of the trees, fabric, and topography of her time spent as a child in Nigeria.

PULSE begins today and will remain open until Sunday, December 10. The fair is being held at Indian Beach Park on Collins Avenue.

When Art Basel opens its doors to the public tomorrow, the experience will be significantly different for those who have attended any of the previous fifteen incarnations of the event. A number of welcome changes and additions are in store, from new champagne bars to the larger booths and wider aisles making it easier to get around and admire the eclectic profusion of artwork.

With over 200 galleries showcasing work, receptions, and talks, it may prove difficult to soak in everything Art Basel has in store but there are a couple of highlights worth mentioning. Robert Rauschenberg’s “Periwinkle Shaft” is a massive piece which originally began as a fourteen-foot-tall painting in the late 1970s. Today, it consists of five panels featuring collage and acrylic on wood.

American video and performance artist Kalup Linzy will perform live each afternoon during Art Basel, including creating art on the spot as a drag character going by the name of Katonya.

Art Basel’s public sector will feature more than seven distinct sculptural works and installations, and you won’t have to pay a dime to admire them. Daniel Knorr’s “Navel of the World” is one example, which depicts his comments on body piercing while the name of Manuela Viera-Gallo’s “Domestic Violence: Morir Matando” is self-explanatory.

If you live in Miami, chances are you’re very familiar with a certain celebrity who goes by the monikers of “Mr. 305” or “Mr. Worldwide”. If you guessed Pitbull, you are correct! The rapper has become quite the star in the Magic City as well as throughout the world. The Miami native legally known as Armando Christian Pérez has had several hits including “Give Me Everything”, “Feel This Moment” featuring Christina Aguilera, and “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)”.

With his undying support for Miami and reinforcing its worldwide exposure, Pitbull recently made headlines after it was reported he will be launching a new project. No, it’s not a new album (he already did that earlier this year). Instead, Pitbull plans to open a new restaurant in what is arguably South Florida’s hottest thoroughfare: Ocean Drive. The eatery will be called iLov305 and will occupy the Bon Air Hotel’s former home. Considering his status as a major Miami celebrity, it’s almost a guarantee iLov305 will become a major success.

The restaurant business is not an entirely new endeavor for Pitbull. In 2012, he became an equity partner in Miami Grill, a well-known local favorite formerly known as Miami Subs Grill.
