Eau de Ooh La La!
Ladies rejoice! Trini, world-renowned hair stylist and Ambassador to L’Oréal Professionnel, has developed a niche product that has been unavailable to the market until now. Eau de Trini is the ultimate beauty touch-up as a non-damaging, non-greasy weightless mist. It doesn’t compete with a person’s regular perfume, nor does it interfere with haircolor or highlights. Absorbing unpleasant smells caused by natural oils or the environment, Eau de Trini leaves hair fresh with the added subtle fragrance of a light perfume. Eau de Trini is available at Trini in Private Salon & Spas or via TriniInPrivate.com or EauDeTrini.com.
Sea Sights!
Have some “Mommy & Me” time at the Miami Seaquarium Nov. 10 as you interact with unique animals, learn about coral reefs and participate in fun activities and silly crafts while bonding with your child. What’s better, it’s only $12 for each parent-child combo. For more info, call 305.361.5705 or visit MiamiSeaquarium.com.
Asian Art
It’s a classic fusion of East meets West when the Mandarin Oriental hosts a special exhibition during Art Basel. Taking place Nov. 30-Dec. 5 with an exclusive preview on November 29 at 7 p.m., the Mandarin presents a unique exhibition of Contemporary Asian Art curated by Brian Dursum, Director and Curator of the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum. The hotel exhibition will feature work from some of China’s most exciting contemporary artists. For more, visit MandarinOriental.com.
Dance On
Art Basel is not just about still art, but also the performing arts. Merce Cunningham was a dance visionary. So, what would be the next logical deduction here? Merce Cunningham Dance Company’s performance at the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House with dancers on different performance levels and audience members free to move about the stage. The MCDC Miami appearance Dec. 2-4 is part of the iconic choreographer’s posthumous two-year Legacy tour, honoring Cunningham’s astounding work and remarkable contribution to American modern dance and culture.

Orange New Year
Have any idea where you’ll be spending the last days of 2010? We know it’s a little too soon to mark your calendars, but we suggest planning ahead for this one. Kicking off on New Year’s Eve and extending through Jan. 2, Ocean Drive will host Orange Drive, a series of entertainment and college football-related festivities offering musical performances, sports events, a Latin festival, VIP hospitality opportunities and a variety of other fun activities. What’s more, a 5,000-seat coliseum will be constructed on the sand where nationally recognized talent will be performing for New Year’s Eve. Talk about ending the year (and starting a new one) with a bang!
