Sorry there was no blog last week party animals, but I just came back from Ibiza – no explanation necessary.

Since, I hadn’t been in Ibiza for six years, I was dying to see all the things that had changed. I heard it had become more commercial and therefore I was afraid it had gone down hill. After all, with two red Pacha cherries stamped on everything you can imagine, “F**K Me I’m Famous” boutiques all over the place, and every beach club sponsored by Christian Audigier, Moet Chandon, or Roberto Cavalli - I couldn’t be too sure. 

However, to my delight Ibiza’s still the best place to party in the world. The best DJs, the best nightclubs, the best beaches, the best restaurants, and the coolest people still keep it at #1. I was completely blown away by two new additions. The Gran Hotel, the first 5-star hotel by the port in Ibiza (the town), is so beautiful it makes you feel like you’re staying in the The Museum of Modern Art. The other is the first hotel in the world designed to create a huge indoor/outdoor dance club experience. It’s called The Ushuaia Hotel on Playa de’n Bossa, where every guest has their own speakers near their beach chair and are made to feel like a superstar DJ.

Under 30, I would go for the Ushuaia, with non-stop music day and night. Over 30 you might prefer the Gran, where you can actually chill by the pool. Both are winners and both must be experienced. I want to go back!

Before I left for Ibiza I got to experience a different kind of party that I usually attend in the Hamptons – a family barbeque with just a few close friends. But, because I am more of a Madman than a family man, it was not my family and close friends, rather my dear friends Jeff and Mei Sze Greene, that threw the afternoon feast on their new Hamptons grounds. Because it is so many acres of beachfront property they may just start calling it Greene-Hampton.

With 3000 feet of waterfront on the bay, one could easily enjoy every water sport including jet skiing, water skiing, swimming, and fishing. It really has every activity a summer camp for kids has. Boy, do their kids have a lot of room to play. Their private lagoon even has it’s own swan family. The animals were so beautiful and the scenery so romantic, I almost thought about settling down and enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. I said almost. Remember who’s blogging people.

The Herzog & de Meuron designed parking garage on Lincoln Road in South Beach is an architecturally brilliant multi-use masterpiece. It is so high-tech that it looks more like a modern art sculpture than “garage,” nonetheless, it does hold hundreds of cars, plus a row of exclusive boutiques, restaurants, and shops on the ground floor. It also hosts an unexpectedly placed all-glass store on the 7th floor of the garage, a huge party space with plenty of room to drink and dance and a gorgeous residential penthouse for the two geniuses who came up with the idea and own the place. It’s one of a kind, unless someone out there knows someone who lives in a penthouse that’s literally on top of a parking garage and I just don’t know about it.

Therefore, it was quite clever for designer Lei Marco to invite 200 of the most fashionable people in South Beach for a cocktail party and runway show on top of the most unique parking garage in the world. One normally doesn’t find the most beautiful models in the world strutting the runway in high-end Italian designer eveningwear in this environment.

It was so cool, that for a moment I forgot how hot it actually is in South Beach this time of year. The results are in, in the “coolest” race this year between South Beach, NY, LA, and Vegas…it’s South Beach by an icy nose!

When it comes to any kind of soccer tournament that Brazil’s national team plays in, you can bet they’re at least going to the finals, and chances are, be the winner. That was the case in South Beach this past weekend as Brazil beat teams from the U.S., Spain and Mexico in a variation of the sport that I had never seen before – beach soccer. The game is just as much fun to watch with plenty of action - maybe more because the field is considerably shorter and the ball stops dead in the sand, instead of rolling long distances. This means many more shots on goal and higher scoring games.

But, it being South Beach, the three-day event offered way more than beach soccer. Sexy dancers put on a great halftime show, electro-pop blared from the speakers non-stop (practically drowning out the announcer keeping score), and a bikini fashion show followed the game. Amazing athletes performing on the field and hot girls performing in the tent made this a sporting event I look forward to next year. Congratulations Brazil. Thanks for bringing this new soccer in the sand game to South Beach. How about next year you teach us how to Samba in the sand? That’s one tricky dance to learn!

He boarded the 250-foot yacht wearing an expensive custom-made black suit you would find on the body of a Yakuza crime lord. The dark sunglasses with diamond details resemble those of a Colombian drug dealer. The chrome-plated handgun he carried was the popular make and model that most mafia hitmen use. The blonde bombshell he was with stood out from the crowd and looked dangerously sexy, the type a Harlem gangster would want as a trophy wife.

Every girl at the party wanted him and every guy at the party wanted to be him. What can I say? I had the best assassin costume and the hottest date that night for Miami Nightlife King Michael Capponi’s James Bond themed birthday party. No joke, every girl on the boat came up to me that night and said, “I like your gun,” while giving me the sexiest glance imaginable. And right in front of my date!

She was a good sport, though, and actually seemed proud to be with, “the guy with the gun,” who was turning on all the ladies. Since I’m a lady-killer and not a real killer, I knew how to make her feel special. I told her, “I love ‘your holster’ and  ‘my gun’ will be in it as soon as we leave the party.” Not even 007 has lines to match that!
