Special Events

Photos are from several encounters with the Desperado Star Antonio Banderas
at an awards dinner and ceremony, a maestro at the piano to say the least!
Vaya hombre! El tipo es fenomenal!
A real down-to-earth individual.

The the red-carpet treatment happens oftern in Florida
when meeting with internationally acclaimed music empresario Lou Pearlman
who launched 90's bands Backstreet Boys and N'Sync to stardom.
Orlando's The Peabody, the parks and
Fashion Rock-are a must see.
Lou shares comercial space with Club Paris-owned by Paris Hilton.

Hanging out with Gloria Estefan was a blast.
Gloria Estefan backs any initiative that will promote advancement for students, each year
she visits those who earned scholarships to attend top U.S. universities, the event is held
in D.C. every year and produced for national television during Hispanic
Heritage month via NBC and sponsored by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.

Why do they call it the BIG screen anyway?

On this pic we posed for Ocean Drive with actorEdward James Olmos,
who worked along side Jennifer Lopez on the Gregory Nava film SELENA

Maria Celeste Arrarás, is the leading lady at Telemundo, b/t her Puerto
Rico visits and a thriving television career, she's managed to keep her family
roots in place, where they should be. Then off to a BIG APPLE-NYC
benefit with former Miss Universe Justine Pasek, probably the nicest
girl to have come out of Panamá.

Fiesta anyone?

Leading Spanish television station Univision
is proud to still have greats like Ana Maria Canseco

Soledad O'brien said life is great at CNN, perhaps later posing for a Chicago tabloid
with Judy Reyes from NBC's Scrubs was also enlightening.
These MUJERES are really making a difference in the communities were they live, work and play.

¿Como se dice?

Jaci Velasquez as featured in the movie PAPI CHULO [Chasing Papi] , another film you could watch this week is perhaps Tortilla Soup directed by Maria Ripoll.

We also managed to get an autograph from my friend Vanessa Carlton.

To conclude the pictorial-you guessed it, I saved the best for last!
Other than Ricky Martin's Living la Vida Loca world tour concert
I really enjoyed hosting and presenting José Feliciano right in
our backyard, for an unforgettable Hispanos Unidos sponsored concert
that left the audience wanting more. ¡Gracias Señor Bolero!
