Mayleen-Gonzalez-for-Hemispheres-Magazine-Photo-by-Shivon-Ria-Michelle-Acosta

My name is Mayleen, I go by May May. My time has come to start blogging. I am a photographer, fashionista, self proclaimed socialite and let’s not forget my sweet tooth. That’s what I say, that’s what I live. I am friends with all the Miami blogger’s girls and attend all the events already. I really like how this group of girls which most are my friends support each other. There is room for everyone to blog and have there own unique style. I will make sure to keep you up to date with what’s going.

So today I got the copy of the June issue of Hemispheres Magazine. I was selected for What to wear Miami edition. It was nice to be able to speak my opinion on what Miami fashion is. I think a lot of people have a misconception of how people dress over here. My friend and local blogger Ria Michelle snapped this picture of me. I love how she truly captured who I am in this picture. Enjoy!

The brain child of Alex Omes and Emi Guerra of GO BIG Productions, the two-day music and arts festival will coincide with the 11th annual Art Basel Miami Beach, a prestigious art show, and will be tapping into the creativity of the weekend to build a limitless event that will freely combine music, art and design with DJs, live music, and performance and visual artists.

“It is time the bar was raised. We are not putting up a stage for fans to stare at, UR1 will be a 4D experience,” said Omes, who also co-founded Ultra Music Festival, in a statement. “We have some of the most creative musicians and artists in the world participating and have given them carte blanche so come up with their “dream” performance.”

MARLINS SOCIAL Lounge at MIAMI MARLINS Park #MarlinsSocial

WIT_6871

Miami-marlins-park-marlins-social

This past Tuesday I was fortunate to be part of the Marlins Social a Miami Marlins Social Media event Thanks David from THE305.com for putting me on to this. The event consisted of a park tour by the Marlins Social Media department. Not knowing what to expect, I was exited to be at the Marlins park for the first time. Upon arrival we were greeted by the parks Social Media Manager and the tour begun. I have to tell you this park impressed me a great deal. There isn’t a bad seat in the house plus you don’t have to stay in your seat. While the game is in progress you are able to walk the whole park without missing an inning! Yes…

Another impressive part was the food choices. There is something for everyone and I do mean everyone, from Kosher Korner foods to the traditional park burger and hot dogs and lets not forget some of the best Cuban Sandwiches Media Noche & Pan Cubano or Cuban Sandwich. There are also other gourmet options like Asian Burger, Shrimp Burger, Tenderloin BLT and Lime N’ Lobster Roll. Yum, I can’t wait to go back…

Before I forget, inside the Miami Marlins park you can also find a Clevelander. With a capacity of about 300 the tickets do go fast. If you’re into more of a party atmosphere that’s your best choice. The Clevelander opens a couple of hours before the game and stays open at least 3 hours after… Great place to have a good time before and after the game.

I was a bit concerned with parking but it was so easy and simple. I highly recommend getting your tickets online; however, there’s also parking around the park.

The staff was incredible. Very helpful and courteous. I also notice tons of art all over the park. This was a great experience. Don’t wait to long go see it for your self, plus so far we are a 500 club (we’ve won more than 50% of the games we have played)… GO MARLINS!

furor-moda-fashion-show-the-stage-miami-design-district

Last night I attended the Furor Moda Fashion show at The STAGE during the RAW:natural born artist The Blend show. For my misfortune I got the event and noticed I left my camera battery at home… I had no idea what I was going to do.

So I started to take some photos to with my iPhone 4. I wasn’t getting anywhere… Then I saw Karla Garcia from KarGarOhhSnap.com. After we both had a laugh about my situation she agreed to send me photos from the event. Thank you Karla!

Furor Moda is owned by Tatiana Torres. With creative make-up and perfect styling the show took place promptly at 10:45 pm. Annie Vazquez, Kelly Saks, Amanda Del Duca, Daniela Ramirez and Steffy were the featured local fashion bloggers on the runway. RAW showcased all generes of art under one roof. There was something for everyone. Here are some images from the show.
