SH W Hotel Miami New pic

Hi Anon, I'm getting conflicting stories that this fan pic 👇 posted less than an hour ago is actually an old pic of Sam. Some are saying it was taken in July when Sam was in Florida for his Sassenach Spirits meet and greet. I'm at work, busy with stuff, so I can't double check. Can someone confirm for me please? Interesting that he has stayed at a few different Miami hotels through the years and not the same one. I would drop dead if I ever saw Sam looking like that on the beach. 😍

Sundress season is here and I wonder if reader has ever thought of wearing one around Lewis

🤔

I don't write anymore but I had to at least give this my best shot because it's @princessphilly. If you haven't read her TGM sundress drabbles you need to leave my blog and go read it right now.

Where else could this take place but Miami?

You had never been to the city but were excited to be joining Lewis at the Grand Prix. You were driven past the famous South Beach on your way from the airport to the hotel and you loved how confident everyone seemed in their tight skimpy swimwear. You had packed your best sundresses for this trip which meant high hemlines, low backs, and brightly colour fabrics that complimented your skin tone.

The days leading up to the race were full of promotional events and parties which meant there were plenty of opportunities for you to show off your collection of sundresses. Lewis was getting ready in the other room in the suite with his stylist while you slipped into your sundress and tied up the laces of your strappiest sandals which made your legs look impossibly long.

Sir Lewis Hamilton always took much longer than you to get ready. You flopped onto the bed, phone in hand careful not to mess up your hair or makeup as Lewis and the stylist went back and forth on different jewelry options.

Lewis walked the stylist out of the suite and went to get you in the other room. "Hey, are you-"

The sight that greeted him stopped him mid-question. Your body was stretched across the king-sized bed making your dress look even more indecent, the neckline accentuating the bare skin of your clavicle, shoulders, and cleavage and the neckline riding up to barely cover your thighs. "I've been ready for a while, Lew. C'mon, let's go."

You bent over to fix your dress, practically flashing Lewis your tits and grabbed your clutch off the floor, your heels clicking against the floor as you hurried to the elevator eager to get to the party. Lewis was strangely quiet, normally he would be pretty chatty before sponsor events so he would be warmed up when he finally arrived.

You raised an eyebrow at his strange behaviour. "What's wrong?"

Lewis traced the curve of your bare shoulders with his eyes in the reflection in the elevator. "Do you need a jacket or something?"

"Why would I need a jacket it's over thirty degrees Celsius?" Plus the event would be outdoors in the mid-afternoon. As you walked from the hotel lobby to the valet stand to get into the car, you could already feel the Florida sun warm your skin.

Lewis sighed, despite how much care he put into his appearance he rarely commented or advised you on how to dress. "It's already hard enough to pay attention to small talk and answer the same questions over and over again at these things. But now I have to do that when I know you're somewhere else in the room looking like this."

Lewis let his gaze linger as checked out the way your body filled out the dress. You smirked, pleased to finally get a reaction out of him. "Would you prefer if I remained in your sightline?"

Lewis imagined himself trying to look people in the eye during these boring conversations while you were in the background nibbling on chocolate-covered strawberries or being hit on by the bartender "I think that would be worse."

Lewis helped you into the car and made a last-ditch effort to make the next four hours a little less torturous. "Do you want to borrow my shirt?"

You rolled your perfectly made-up eyes. "The shirt you and your stylist spent hours trying to choose?"

Lewis shrugged. "And you're going to be walking around topless? Has George Russell been giving you styling tips now?"

The car dropped you and Lewis off at the venue. "I think I would rather you be clothed at this event. Besides I'm sure no one will even notice what I'm wearing when I enter the room next to you."

Lewis sighed in defeat knowing there was no point in arguing with you. He slipped his arm around your torso, resting his hand on your waist, and kissing your cheek. "I wouldn't be so sure."

Inspired by a twitter thread i saw, I, Australian and certified dumb of ass, will now list every main American state and what I associate it with/what I think it's about/famous for WITHOUT GOOGLING. These thoughts will be stated as fact regardless of whether or not they are true.

Alabama - Banjos. Reese Witherspoon lives here. Shares a border with Florida for some reason. Fifteen people live here. I'm glad i'm not allowed to google because i feel like i'd find things i don't want to know.

Alaska - Mountains. Balto. State flower is a tree of some kind. The roads are just the tyre tracks in the snow of the vehicles that came before whispering "trust me". Kodiak is here, where Pitbull famously said 'keep fucking around, we'll be on the moon next.' I think this is where Mulder and Scully got fucked up by a brain worm.

Arizona - Desert but not the Las Vegas kind. The granyon canyon. State flower is a cactus. State bird also a cactus. Bella Swan got fucked up in a dance studio here. It seems very scenic.

Arkansas - The name of this state makes me think of rusty old utes and that's it, that's all I've got. "Pickup trucks" or whatever. Grow up.

California - The great Lucille Bluth once said, "I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona" but personally I think i'm with Michael on this one. California has Hollywood and an ok tourist beach. Green Day are from here. San Francisco seems cool though, I like how it looks like a city designed specifically to kill skateboarders and cyclists. State flower is a grand theft auto PS2 disc. Population: more than Australia.

Colorado - Mountains. Elks and Deer and Eagles and Giraffes on ski slopes. Much domestic tourism, have never once heard of anyone from outside the US specifically visiting Colorado though idk. Verdict: America's New Zealand.

Connecticut - The dry weetbix of states. I think of monopoly but I can't remember why. State flower is a dandelion that has been stepped on. Biggest export is men's office attire, specifically brown two piece suits and those short sleeve button ups. I only found out today that there's a C in the middle of Connecticut I always thought it was 'Conneticut'.

Delaware - Delawhere the fuck is this state I have no idea. Probably still cooler than Connecticut. Famous for combination fast food chains and buildings that clearly used to be a pizza hut (you can tell by the roof). Idrk what Cracker Barrel is but I can tell you the employees spawn here.

Florida - Biscayne bay. Manatees. Shaped like a sock, or something else. Famous for hotels, motels, and holiday inns. Would be a fun state if not for the fact that every politician in charge of it is fucking it up so so bad. One of the few places in the USA where you can see the Southern Cross constellation. Miami Dale forever RIP Logan Horseman.

Georgia - peaches. atlantis. brisket. no other thoughts detected, moving on

Hawaii - Famous for killing James cunt Cook which is honestly a deserved and certified W for Hawaiians. Plagued (and I do mean plagued) by tourists, including Australian Prime Ministers ignoring national emergencies.

Idaho - Sleepy. Things don't happen here but when they do they happen so much because nothing happens here. National flower is probably like a daisy or something so so normal.

Illinois - Chicago bean. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. WatchDogs the game. Famous for girlbosses who kill their husbands. Population 11 millions.

Indiana - Rainy probably. Honestly I only remember this state exists because of Stranger Things, which I understand this is like someone saying they only remember Australia exists because of Crocodile Dundee but look. Population: At least 10.

Iowa - This is such a place to be from if you're moving to the big city because all the other waitresses at the diner back home said you got a voice worth payin for and you finally stopped letting your papa tell you what to do. Famous for crop duster planes. State flower is long grass.

Kansas - Famous for scarecrows, wheat and the like. Probably fun at Halloween actually. Great place to fake an alien sighting. I just remembered Dorothy is from here. Population: Yes.

Kentucky - Fried chicken. NASCAR. Speedway. Derby. State flower is a blown out tyre on the side of the road.

Louisiana - Very wet but in a pretty way. Birthplace of the Saxophone. New Orleans is officially the strongest reason I would ever be tempted to set foot in this country. New York wishes she was this beautiful. Famous for the Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals.

Maine - Next to Kentucky. Lobsters are from here which means there's water, but don't ask me where. Famous for The Vampire Diaries. State flower is a rose, beautiful but generic, like a YA protagonist.

Maryland - Rural but in a manageable way. I think of letterboxes with the family last name on it. Grandmas love it here. Hairspray the musical.

Massachusetts - Ohhhh Legally Blonde. Boston. Harvarb Law. The colour brown. When pronounced it's a very nice name for a state actually.

Michigan - I reference 'can't have shit in Detroit' almost daily but I know almost nothing else about Michigan.

Minnesota - Mini Soda. Also a good state name. No idea what's here, deer or elk or beavers. There's no way to know for sure.

Mississippi - I like this state name less but only because it's hell on the lisp i battle to mask. It's named after a river. It's on the coast. Next to Pennsylvania.

Missouri - A lot of M states happening here. This place is famous for nothing. I don't know what the capital city is but it's definitely a place you move to for your job instead of like. On purpose. Population: 3 million. It's in the middle somewhere.

Montana - This state's main export is horse girls, very Saddle Club coded. It's on the Canadian border, but it shouldn't be like that. It should be in the middle. Hannah Montana's dad was all Nashville but he's basically from Toronto. Fucked up if you ask me.

Nebraska - When I think of Nebraska I think of those depressing Walmart carparks where there's nothing for miles except for the Walmart and one lady pushing a flatscreen in a trolley to the dodge ram she parked 600m away from the entrance so it won't get dinged by other car doors, because god forbid her utility vehicle show signs of wear.

Nevada - viva rock vegas (the flintstones). There's a salt lake here but NOT a salt lake city. That's somewhere else. I think there's motorsport here. NO WAIT THERE IS because i saw charles leclerc on the sphere on tv and he was so wide and i laughed so hard i choked on my own spit.

New Hampshire - What the fuck is New Hampshire that's not real. I thought it was like some beach suburb in New York state. What the fuck. Regardless. I bet you could pull up to the side of the road in New Hapshite and buy an avocado no questions asked. Probably like the USA's Byron Bay.

New Jersey - Everyone from here says it's bad. It makes me think of t shirts with a longer sleeve t shirt underneath and 2000s pop punk music. Gerard Way.

New Mexico - High School Musical is set in Albuquerque. High School Musical is also the only reason I can pronounce Albuquerque. This state is famous for High School Musical.

New York - She's talking over the rest of you and for what? Wall Street? Ugh. Kinda like the Melbourne of the USA.

North Carolina - I feel like cowbutch lesbians do numbers here for some reason. You could disappear into the hills with a woman in a tank top and assless chaps here if you were brave enough. Men do live here but they're treated like a new cast member on the fifth season of a sitcom, this one's for the girls.

North Dakota - Dakota is Carolina's femme girlfriend and they're in love.

Ohio - This is like that town in Cars that lightning mcqueen gets stuck in and the tourist cars are like oh we're only here because of a wrong turn. Yeah. You might find fireflies here though. Also Ohio is for Lovers or something.

Oklahoma - Swear word for Christians. Absolutely nothing happens here and if it does i feel like it involves chasing livestock.

Oregon - Prairies. This is where the Prairies are. Famous for the people who died while trying to be Not In Oregon.

Pennsylvania - Famous for The Office. And Dracula jokes. That's all i've got.

Rhode Island - Famous for winning Miss United States with the flaming batons routine in Miss Congeniality starring Sandra Bullock. Very small state. Possibly the smallest one but who's to say.

South Carolina - If north is for the lesbians, south is for the gays.

South Dakota - As above.

Tennessee - Country music and whiskey and line dancing, which is actually kinda hot when goth girls do it. Overall, Tennessee is the USA's answer to Gympie, which is a question that nobody asked. Overall i just think of the colour brown. Famous for Hayden Penterre. Penetentiary. Pendulum.

Texas - A South Australian would say Texas is famous for it's adorably small cattle farms. Lucky for me, i am not South Australian. This is the state that other states call redneck and racist to hide the fact that they are also redneck and racist, perhaps more so. Contains two of the main cities to name boys after. Dave Strider lives here. (Sorry for the Homestuck jump scare so late in the game.)

Utah - Salt Lake City. That bass pro shop monolith was here. In general i think of the colour orange. Home of the Hellmouth Sunbeams.

Vermont - Vermont is a state in the same way the spleen is an organ. Population: Zero.

Virginia - Is this not the same thing as Vermont?

Washington - Famous for Bella where the hell you been loca. Twin Peaks is probably set here idk i forgot all parts of the show that were not log lady. White House. Effervescent.

West Virginia - From the lyrics "Mountain mama. Take me home. Country road" we can determine that West Virginia has Mountains, Milfs, Homes, and Roads. I know nothing else about West Virginia.

Wisconsin - Wiscaaaansin. Whis-cahn-sin. There are definitely elks here. That 70's Show is set somewhere beneath the surface of this place. Population: grandparents and elk. I feel like you could get fucked up by a creature here if you're not careful. It's got trees and lakes and shit creatures love those. I think Yellowstone is somewhere around here.

Wyoming - Great lakes? Great lakes. This state is actually all lake. Idk. I like the name though, the verbiage of it all. Wyoming my way downtown. State flower is an empty wrapper blowing by down the street. Population: 800,000. Definitely a place you could go missing and never be seen again.

I NEED any type of fluff of Priss w the boys!

priscilla makes her way through the revolving door of the hotel, head buried in her phone as she scans over whatever plans her friends had decided to make after she had announced that she would be going m.i.a. of course there are talks of hitting up her favorite restaurant followed by her favorite club in hopes to entice her, even lena tries to get her attention by sending a picture of her trying on some of pricilla’s clothes in the middle of their dorm.

she sends a simple ‘looks cute!’ before putting her phone on do not disturb just in time for a body to block her path to the elevators. she looks up at the well-dressed man (a stark contrast to her thin pajama shorts and sweatshirt combo she had tugged on before leaving campus) who stares at her curiously, “can i help you?”

“oh, i’m just visiting someone,” she stands up a little straighter and allows the french-canadian accent to slip through, not trying to hide it like she usually did in hopes it made her sound more confident.

“is that so?” he’s got an expression on his face that told her he wasn’t buying what she was selling. he raises his head and gestures toward the front desk where she seems to have garnered the attention of the woman behind it, “we’ll just need to verify that, mrs.-”

“miss,” she cuts the man off, “miss molson.”

she knew that her name wouldn’t hold as much weight as it would back home and though she would never admit it, that was precisely the reason that she chose miami out of the thousands of other universities in between there and montreal. that and the city allowed for significantly more beach days.

“of course and what room are you trying to get to?” he quirks an eyebrow as he leads her over to the desk, “just for security purposes.”

“2523.”

she gives them arber’s room number instead of juraj’s because she knows for a fact that he was in there if the snapchat video complaining how he was out of that moisturizer she had put him on was any clue. she knew that a sephora run was in their near future as the receptionist sent her a tight-lipped smile after she punched in the number and handed the phone over to the man who priscilla decided was acting out of his pay grade.

“hello mr.,” he squints at the sticky note his co-worker flashed him that displayed arber’s last name and she can tell that he debates on it for a moment before clearing throat, “we have a miss molson down here for- oh? yes sir, we’ll send her up. have a great-”

she can hear the sound on the other end signaling that arber has hung up and she holds in her giggle as he hands over the phone, looking rather rattled before narrowing his eyes, “looks like you’re good to go.”

“well, wouldn’t you know?” priscilla sends an over-enthusiastic smile before finally making her way to the elevators. her phone lights up with a message from arber (he, juraj, and her mom the only ones whose notifications would be pushed through when she was on dnd) stating simply ‘he sounds like a dick’ and she does giggle a little then. typing out a ‘he was’ and ‘meet me in j’s room x’ she tucks her phone into her purse and presses the button for juraj’s floor, just a few under arber but she needed to be with at least one of her boys right then.

the signs guide her down a hallway and after turning the corner, she’s in front of his door. she doesn’t even have time to knock before the door is pulled open and juraj’s strong arms wrap around her waist and lift her off the ground. she locks her legs around his waist, squealing out a “juraj!” as he carries her into the safety of his hotel room, away from any prying eyes.

the chain on her purse makes a loud noise as it slides down her arm before clattering to the floor and she is so glad that she had insurance on that thing because she was positive she hears juraj’s feet crush the metal as his lips meet hers for the first time in weeks. she melts into the kiss, letting her hand pull at the hair at the nape of his neck, “arber know that you are here?”

“the concierge called him to make sure that i was allowed up,” priscilla rolls her eyes and juraj looks confused. she shakes her head, “the people downstairs.”

“oh,” he hums before he places a light kiss on her jaw, “better him. i would have run to you.”

“i would’ve run to you too,” before she can pull his head from her neck and kiss him again, a knock sounds at the door and a grin takes over her face, “take me to him.”

“priss is so bossy,” juraj says, but obeys her command nonetheless. with her still wrapped around his front, he leans forward with a hand protecting the back of her head to look through the peephole, “who is it?”

“open the door, slaf,” arber’s voice says and the two share a smile before the younger man pulls on the door. arber visibly relaxes when he spots their girl, “pris- oh!”

she grabs him by the front of his shirt and pulls him inside, allowing herself to be transferred from juraj’s arms to hers so she can welcome him with a kiss too. juraj fumbles with the door as she and arber melt into each other similarly to how she had with the taller man only moments before, “god i missed the both of you so much.”

“month is too long,” juraj mumbles as he presses himself against her back, “very long.”

“i know, i’m sorry,” she mumbles her apology as she reaches a hand back to scratch lightly at his neck. she grins when his lips find her temple, a silent acceptance. her eyes drift to where arber was watching them, big hands on her hips, and an amused expression on his face, “what’s funny?”

“you two,” he kisses the cheek on the side of her face not currently occupied by juraj and sighs, letting his hands slip under her sweatshirt and feel the bare skin there for the first time in damn near six weeks, “how long do we have you?”

“as long as you want me,” she uses her free hand to tangle her fingers with arber’s, bringing his knuckles to her mouth to place a gentle kiss on the skin, “i have a standing reservation at giselle. i shoved an outfit into my bag if you feel like going or we can just hang out here and get room service. i’m already dressed for that.”

arber and juraj share a look, having some mental conversation that they seemed to do a lot of and priscilla never questioned it. juraj hums, “room service. already comfy.”

“that reminds me, did you both bring new sweatshirts for me?” she poses the question and her boys chuckle. “what? it’s all i asked for…”

“you can get them in tampa, priss,” arber assures her as he pulls her over to juraj’s unmade bed while the younger man starts searching for the menu. she huffs and arber grins, “gotta make sure that you don’t break your promise.”

“that sounds a lot like blackmail and i don’t like it.”

“will,” juraj’s eyes scan over the menu, “chicken tenders and fries make up for it?”

“it’s definitely a start.”

End game

Like all Ed features, End Game is Haylor. (Ed, the O.G. Haylor MVP) it was written a few weeks after HS1 was released. Unlike other Rep songs that were revisited and have Joe references, even when they started before they met. In fact the film clip is overtly Haylor. (below) in the BTS (at 1:55) Taylor’s gets text with a scrabble move, she considers, says it is a 'tight game' and decides to leave the other player suspended. Ed blushes.

When OOTW was released Harry’s IG went B&W for 2 years until he started solo promo, apart from a few scrabble boards (in screaming colour) I have a theory he & Taylor played remotely which is why they are colour and she included this.

Here’s some footage of Joe playing scrabble. ….oh sorry, wait, that’s Harry Styles: fan of Scrabble and texting T Swift. Look at her here in the reputation book with the players names covered.. I wonder why lol

Timeline

Ed Sheeran said he wrote his part in a hotel room in New York. He told Audacy that he went to her RI home and heard Rep then the next day wrote it in a hotel in NY. 14 July 2017. (2 months after HS1’s release) (He was also at Taylors NY Apartment 7 March)

I was playing Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, she has a place in Rhode Island, which isn't too far so she hits me up I go around. She plays me what turned out to be Reputation and End Game and I was like man this is I really like, can I do a verse can I like do a rap verse and she was like yeah for sure. So the next day i kind of I remember I was in bed and sort of woke up and i got my laptop out but the song just looped it and I wrote wrote this verse and I went in with max martin who she did the song with and recorded it and then future the verse and then Taylor wrote a verse and then yeah we shot we shot a video".

Film Clip

The film clip is less subtle in being Haylor, it takes place in:

Miami, where HS and TS hung out at Courtney Cox's house

Tokyo, where HS went on a 1D break as his first trip overseas without the band

London, where Ed, HS and Joe all live.

Haylor Easter eggs:

0:04 the ferris wheel looks like the winding wheel.

0:21 she is a passenger in a car at night

0:44 she wears a very Harry Gucci Jumpsuit

0:48 there is a polaroid

1:10 she is a single kitten mother, except Olivia is in her Rep Era lol

1:20 the 1989 Rolling Stone shoot, now in the dark with fireworks.

2:09 Taylor 'A' Swift wears an "A" shirt see: Harry's A tattoo. (When asked Harry said "uh... for my mum" which Louis said "No it's not not it's for a mystery blonde" (2:40)

2:39 she wears the Red/WANGBT hat and cane. She also wears the jacket from her red rolling stone cover.

3:13 there are 2 white bird statues that look like his chest tattoos.

3.30 she references the 1D One Thing MV bus scene

3:43 she visits this kebab shop, a similar one with a made up but similar name is in the 1D midnight memories MV. This tik tok is also about this being an ex’s kebab shop

Lyrics

I wanna be your endgame, endgame Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah And you heard about me, ooh I got some big enemies (yeah) Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we'd be a big conversation, ah

HS and TS have both had big reputations as long as they’ve know each other. Now both A-listers dating is a much bigger conversation than one dating anyone else. Her enemies of Scooter and the Kanye are relevant to the music industry.

I don't wanna touch you (I don't wanna be) Just another ex-love (you don't wanna see) I don't wanna miss you (I don't wanna miss you) Like the other girls do

New Years Day Taylor sings “Please don't ever become a stranger, Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere”.

I don't wanna hurt you (I just wanna be) Drinkin' on a beach with (you all over me)

Harry Styles Debut was released May 2017, 6 months before Rep. Harry told Radio 1 he had played it for Ed earlier. The album lays out a lot of hurt between them Taylor may not have known about in that detail. Drinking, beaches and being all over each other are solid Haylor themes, see Video.

I hit you like, "Bang" We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't

Haylor hit like a bang, they met in march, were together almost immediately, he had multiple tattoos that reference her by May and they both had new albums with songs they still perform about each other by October and November. Toe were friends for a long time first and were not yet public.

Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks So here's the truth from my red lips

There’s a lot of Haylor references here:

They told you I was crazy, I swear I don’t love the drama is a reference to 1989’s Blank Space

I can’t let you go, Handprints on my soul fits is a theme in 1989, MMIH, Stockholm syndrome, ready for it?, Harry’s House.

The truth from my red lips refers to Style, Two Ghosts and other lip related lyrics.

Finally Taylor uses gold to describe HS in Gold Rush: “Everybody wants you, But I don't like a gold rush, What must it be like, to grow up that beautiful?”

SH with a fan on the beach 🥴 The W South Beach hotel is behind him. The only hotel in Miami Beach with expansive ocean views and large balconies.

This photo appears to have been taken before his booze tour in Fort Lauderdale, without the tan he sported during his tour, especially by exposure to the sun 😎

august 8, 1991

artist / owner of the broken spine

south addition

biography

lightening round —

born and raised in washington dc. parents emigrated from turkey. father was a diplomat and mother still works as a translator/interpreter 

had a very strict and conservative upbringing. suffered abuse at the hands of a family member and was kept in silence about it

went to nyc for university and her first art project. the first exlorations into her art and ideas began with photography at music festivals, art directing for advertisements and magazines, and music videos

met her first partner and began a relationship with them during this time, even asked them to move back to washington dc with her when her time in nyc came to an end

the relationship always felt as though it were missing something and as though lena kept coming up short. when a new project came up and lena was to relocate for her work (to anchorage) she asked her partner to come with her and proposed. the no on both counts was devastating but she poured her pain into her work. plus it went along with the theme of her life

the move to anchorage was only meant to be temporary but lena ended up in a rebound relationship that fulfilled a void and she ended up staying even after her project was complete. making a home in anchorage and traveling when necessary

upon settling into anchorage, lena opened a book bar called the broken spine and has too much fun running it

as with anything else in her life relating to love, the rebound relationship eventually came to an end. leaving lena to stop making her work about heartbreak and push for something greater

a few of her projects/series have brought her international attention and acclaim. the first being, ‘i could not protect her’, a multimedia work, both her signature cinematic still photography along with a silent film detail her journey though abuse and the unchecked actions by the abuser. the next being her series titled “3ieb!” in arabic / “shame on me!” in english. a series that equally caused an uproar and gave voice to hundreds of thousands of middle eastern women all over the world

recently lena has been dipping her toe into video work once again, beginning to shift away from her decade long photography medium by publishing a book of a compilation of all her work. a little different from the music videos she’d produced in the past and her recent foray into short film, lena is interested in moving forward in long-form video work

the positive shift in her love life, experiencing real love for the first time without the usual toxicity she’d fallen into in the past and finally experiencing healthy love has also made a big difference

Well, we're finally here for Miami Art Week (casually referred to as 'Art Basel') for yet another post-pandemic yr, now in vanglorious 2022!

For its participation in Scope Miami Beach, ArtTime presents a selection of works by artists: Barnabe, Tsuyu Bridwell and Miles Regis (just above pic: "Triggered Awakenings"). Here's a video-walk-thru of last year's "Scope Art Show" I stumbled upon, right below.

There's lots to get to, see and do. Factor-in a must-visit to Untitled Art Fair, as well. If you get in, you could pretend you're an art expert :)

Hey, and some even come for anything but the art, unless you're gonna call food art too?

Yea, sometimes food could be considered art, most definitely. But let's move on, there's lots of events, different evolving neighborhoods to explore, parties and lounges, after all, we are in Miami/SoBe.

And oh, let's not forget concerts. There's one called "Mirror Mirror" honoring the late, iconic Virgil Abloh too. Grab your tix here. Sooner or later, you'll discover everyone's got (or trying to score!) their tix.

The weekend has a lot to offer, including a touchdown of the Soulection crew for their "Soulection Presents" show feat. Sango, Joe Kay, Uncle Waffles & Major League DJz.

As in any visit, once you're on the ground and start mingling, networking to get your feet wet, we all know you could probably add a few more hundred discoveries that you'll ditch the above for, or end up missing because you were told either when it's over, or while it's going on. Yea, we hate that too. So here's one more, just in case that 'friend' forgot to, you know, invite ya ass.

Anyway, let's not forget why we're here. Although the creative parallels of music, film, literature, fashion, design, cuisine and yes, art go hand-in-hand throughout various destinations, let's ((try to)) keep our focus.

We got design gurus, Surface Mag's crossings of Polygon technology and art, creatively speaking for W South Beach Hotel's hosting of 'Polygon x Surface', and maybe we'll catch one of their daily immersive events live, instead of reading about it while we're here. Yet another case of the cooler than cool, not being 'waitlist' cool!?

Another vibrant art show, Art Miami (& its sister fair) Context Art Fair, kicks-off on Wednesday, Nov. 30. You can grab tix right here.

Blue Road Partners with Fortune Group to Launch a Condo Project

Blue Road, a Florida-based integrated developer of hotels, residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects, has announced the sales launch of Nexo Residences, a condo building in North Miami Beach that allows for short-term rentals, in collaboration with Fortune International Group. Fortune International Group has been a leading real estate development, sales, and marketing organization in South Florida for almost four decades.

The 254-unit complex is setting the standard in North Miami Beach's rapidly expanding condo market by offering prospective residents the option of short-term rentals. Located at 13899 Biscayne Boulevard, the property offers residences ready for immediate possession, extensive, flexible home-sharing options, and resort-style facilities.

Nexo Residences offers turnkey apartments ranging from studios to four-bedroom townhomes, starting at $400,000. The townhomes boast interior square footage ranging from 525 to 2,190 square feet. Investors are drawn to this property because homeowners can rent their homes for short, extended, or seasonal stays with no listing limits.

The turnkey apartments feature porcelain flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, built-in closets in the bedrooms, separate lockable closets for the owners, and spacious balconies with glass railings. European-style kitchens exude a contemporary look with materials like matte black fixtures and quartz countertops. Residents will appreciate the property's enhanced digital amenities, including smart key entry, a self-service package system, and Wi-Fi in all communal spaces.

The two-story arrival lobby and lounge, part of Nexo Residences' amenity portfolio, offer a visually stunning experience upon entering the premises. Inspired by South Florida's allure as a year-round tourist destination, the lobby combines elements of its design with the necessities of a remote work lifestyle. Entertainment options include an outdoor playground for children, a versatile clubroom, and a dedicated area for special events. This digital hub provides an ideal environment for productivity, featuring a business center, café, and coworking spaces spread across two floors.

The fitness facility has a yoga studio, virtual trainer services, and other amenities for health-conscious individuals. Residents can unwind on the picturesque pool deck with a resort-style pool and two spa pools with loungers basking in the Miami sunlight. They can also gather with friends in the summer kitchen before stargazing from the observation deck. Additionally, pet-friendly building residents can rest assured that their furry companions are welcome on the grounds.

Frankel Benayoun Architects Inc. executed the project's design with contributions from the globally renowned Carlos Ott. Their impressive portfolio includes Oasis Wynwood, the Gucci Flagship in Miami's Design District, the W Hotel South Beach, and other notable retail concepts. Their expertise spans landscape architecture, interior design, and beyond. Fortune Development Sales oversees all marketing and sales activities for this condo project.

Nexo Residences' prime location on Biscayne Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, presents an excellent investment opportunity. It is conveniently situated near various attractions for both work and leisure in Miami, Bal Harbour, Aventura, North Bay Village, Sunny Isles, Hollywood Beach, and surrounding areas. The Intracoastal Waterway is easily accessible, and the distances between Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport are nearly equal. Also, local parks and green spaces are nearby, including Haulover Park and Oleta River State Park. Aventura Mall recently underwent a multimillion-dollar expansion, and Bal Harbour Shops are also close.

A few of us stayed here for my sister's bachelorette and it was a great shared space. Victoria D.- June, 2023 5/5 - Amazing! Exactly as described. We had a great time! Miami Beach, Florida Miami Beach has long been a playground for those seeking sunny days and wild nights. However, there’s more to Miami than sparkling beaches, shimmering pools, and nightlife that never stops. These days, eco-chic hotels like 1 Hotel Miami Beach rub elbows with hipster haunts like The Broken Shaker and the trendy boutiques of Mid-Beach. But if it’s classic Miami Beach you’re after, have no fear. You’ll still find it while strolling through the Art Deco District, throwing back cocktails at The Clevelander, enjoying drag shows at The Palace, or tucking into Latin American eats along Española Way.
