My friend “Hugo” AKA The Viper just told me about a new spot in Miami Beach called Bella Rose. (I typically don’t go to South Beach until winter).

Hugo told me that the spot was dope and he was peeling girls like bananas at a jungle hideout in Panama. Seems like this place is a return to South Beach before the corporatization.

Bella Rose is the brainchild of Cocaine Cowboys and Cocaine Cowboys 2 – Hustlin’ With The Godmother producers Alfred Spellman and Billy Corben, along with third partner Keith Paciello who is of course, brother of Chris Paciello. (Cocaine Cowboys was The G Manifesto’s Movie of the Year for 2007)

The good part, is Alfred Spellman disses Bottle Service:

“I think Bottle Service has pretty much destroyed night life but, luckily, I think the pendulum is finally swinging away from the models-and-bottles era that’s basically dominated night life since the turn of the century,” Spellman, said. “It creates a one-dimensional atmosphere and we want diversity.”

How bad is the economy in the United States?

» 08 September 2008 » In money, Travel » 3 Comments

How bad is the economy in the United States?

So bad that illegal immigrants are leaving this country and returning to Mexico in record numbers. Even the number of Mexicans wishing to enter the United States has dropped dramatically as indicated by the number of apprehensions by the U.S. Border Patrol. Arrests have fallen by as much as 20 percent compared to last year despite increased surveillance and enforcement.

With the devastating economic downturn in the housing market, immigrant workers are no longer in great demand and job opportunities are quickly drying up. Immigrant workers are choosing to go home rather than wait for an economic rebound as analysts predict a prolonged housing slump. Construction labor that would come from home remodeling, painting and landscaping is no longer plentiful as only the few well-off Americans have the necessary disposable income to spend on such projects.

No one is certain about the total size of the mass exodus back to Mexico. But, one group says the undocumented population has voluntarily left the United States by an incredible, whopping 11 percent (almost one and half million immigrants) in just the past 12 months alone.

Who can really blame them. Our country is F*#ked.

At least you can smoke in bars in Mex. Plus, there is plenty of action and fly girls in Tijuana not to mention other cities.

Sick Sample: Sick Sample: San Francisco Anthem – San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)

Innovative Sample shows you can sample anything and make a dope track.

Scott McKenzie – San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)

San Francisco Anthem ft San Quinn, Big Rich & Boo Banger

I got mad love for the streets of San Francisco. And I got even more love for the girls of San Francisco.

And Fillmore Slim always kicked me knowledge

San Francisco, North Beach Cioppino, and The Pizza Move

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

I rep my city, nobody flyer
Say something different, you a goddamn liar
Block on fire, streets stay cookin
Girl, you lookin for a boyfriend, keep on looking
Downtown, Filmore, something like brooklyn
Uptown Harlem, yea we ballin
Frisco, Frisco home of the brave
I don’t know about ya’ll, but we gettin paid

The Del Mar Race Track: How to Dress for the Horse Races

» 20 July 2008 » In Guide, Style, Travel » 6 Comments

The Del Mar Race Track, How to Dress for the Horse Races, Dope Style, Wack Style Part II

The Race Track, like Graffiti Art and nearly everything else in life is all about style.

More Dope Style and Wack Style at The Del Mar Race Track:

Click Here for Del Mar Racetrack

Wack Style:


The Girl is dressed ok. Guy is low-end. Not getting in The Turf Club dressed like this.

Dope Style:


Former Lightweight champ Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, presents the winning connections with flowers and champagne in the Del Mar Winner’s Circle. Mancini dressed dope even though he is not in a suit. And notice he has some decent girls around him too.

Wack Style:


The cast of HBO’s hit show Entourage find their way to the cheap seats at the Del Mar Racetrack. This is how to dress if you don’t want girls. Doesn’t matter how much CASH you have, you can never get into The Turf Club dressed like buffoons. Show some class. I actually saw this episode, and if you recall they got no girls. It’s pretty sad when you can’t swoop girls on your own TV show.

Dope Style:


Jimmy Durante enjoying a laugh with fellow entertainer George Jessel.

Dope Style:


Tennis champ Martina Hingis poses in the Winner’s Circle with jockey Alex Solis. And is dressed classy.

Wack Style:


Not even sure who this guy is, but I guess his name is “Shawn Merriman”. All I know is he is coming Wack, like Vanilla Ice on a Freestyle.

Dope Style:


Racing enthusiast and owner Rick Pitino celebrates in the Winner’s Circle with the winning connections and a bottle of champagne. Pitino is also a Turf Club Regular. Cool cat.

Wack Style:

Rafael Bejarano and Luke Walton in the Winners Circle after the 1st Division of the Oceanside Stakes. Horrid style.

Dope Style:

Pat O’Brien and Don Ameche chat between races. Style all the way.

Dope Style:

I remember this cat when I was a kid. Warren Moon poses with fashionably dressed fans as he awaits the awards presentation in the Winner’s Circle. Shirt is a little 2005 “Gaslamp” but all in all a good job.

Dope Style:


Del Mar regular Jerry Tarkanian poses with the winning connections for a picture in the Winner’s Circle. I often chop it up with Tark in The Turf Club.

Dope Style:


NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson in the Winner’s Circle as he prepares to present the winning trophys. Not bad.

Dope Style:


Actress and newly appointed member of the CHRB Bo Derek enjoys opening day with President and GM of Del Mar, Joe Harper.

This all being said, no one dresses more fresh than your humble author.
