Weekend Highlights

Miami is finally getting the ball rolling when it comes to foodie culture and the lineup hand-picked by Burger Beast for the Fall for the Arts Festival on Sunday definitely gave all of us hope that we are moving in the right direction! Some of Miami’s finest food trucks were on site, allowing us to sample some of their gourmet cuisine on wheels, as well as other foodie favorites such as Totally Bananas (totally reminded me of Arrested Development) and Feverish Ice Cream among others.

We got there as soon as the festival began, which means we had to do a lot of waiting around for the trucks to actually begin taking orders. Unfortunately, I think this event should have been held a bit later in the year when the weather gets a little more tolerable because the intense Miami heat was beating down on us with absolutely no mercy. We spent the majority of our time under an air-conditioned tent, having to amp ourselves up to venture back into the face-melting weather and the only thing driving us was food.

The Year of the Kat is Here!

As of tonight, it is official: fall TV is back! And it will be lead by the season 2 premiere of The Vampire Diaries! This time around, we see quite the love square with the Salvatore brothers’ past lady love, Katherine, entering the picture to shake things up a bit. It should prove to be a pretty interesting season and I for one can’t wait to see how they address all the cliffhangers they tortured us with during the season 1 closer.

One thing is for sure: I have missed the hottest cast on TV in some time and am excited to have them back on my screen on a weekly basis. And I’m celebrating by inviting some of my friends that are fans of the show to a viewing party at our place! What do you guys think of the show? Are you doing anything fun and special for the premiere?

Happy Hump Day: Dave Annable

Today’s hump day hottie is a special treat from my buddy, Tammy. She sent me a text suggesting that I feature Dave Annable, who plays Justin Walker on ABC’s Brothers and Sisters. Although I do not watch the show, Mr. Annable quickly caught my eye and apparently I am not the only one. He came in at #7 on People’s Sexiest Men Alive in 2007 and is engaged to the absolutely stunning Cloverfield star, Odette Yustman. So start getting jealous, ladies, and enjoy the picspam parade!

BUSH Twitter Giveaway!

The always fabulous Gavin Rossdale just announced on his Twitter tonight that if he reaches 20,000 followers, he will gift one of them with a pair of VIP tickets to Epicenter Fest, where they will not only witness Bush’s first show back together since 2002, but do so from up-top the stage! So what are you waiting for? You can follow G right here! For how to enter the contest, read through the official rules on Bush’s Facebook page.

Don’t know if you guys remember, but I had a dream last month where I was asked to come onstage during Bush’s first show. Premonition? I hope so! Good luck to everyone who enters and regardless, I will see you all at Epicenter in only a couple of weeks!

La Photo Cabine

I am absolutely in love with this adorable French site, La Photo Cabine. It’s a mock photobooth that you can use for free (!) as long as you have a webcam, which are usually already installed in most laptops these days. Once your 4 photos are snapped, they are easily downloadable to your computer or can even be shared on your Facebook. It’s a great little service that can be really fun while having friends over or if you are just having a particularly silly day. My only complaint is that the pictures are taken too quickly, so you oftentimes come out looking pretty ridiculous if not prepared, but that may add to the fun factor.

If you take some shots of your own, make sure to share them in the comments or on the Melificent Facebook page!
