TONIGHT: Catch The Real Housewives of Miami Season Finale

I’m the first one to admit that the names Lea Black, Larsa Pippen, Cristy Rice, Alexia Echevarria, Adriana De Moura, and Marysol Patton have been on the tip of my tongue (and at the top of my newsfeed) for the past 2 months.

It’s been a whirlwind for these ladies. We’ve seen laughter, tears, divorce, marriage, catfights, and everything in between–and it’s all taken place in our beloved Magical City.

Tonight, with much anticipation (and sadness for many fans), season one of The Real Housewives of Miami will come to a close. Watch as Marysol hosts a dinner party for the ladies with some unprecedented drama from her mother; Alexia promotes her son’s modeling career; and Lea makes plans to host a dinner with celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein.

But just because the show is coming to a close, that doesn’t mean this will be the last you’ll hear from the housewives. Of course, the Lea and her husband, Roy Black, will host the Blacks’ Annual Gala on April 2, but furthermore, next Tuesday, April 5, a special cast reunion will air live on Bravo.

Don’t miss the special 90-minute season finale TONIGHT at 10 p.m. on BRAVO.

Wine Enthusiast Sundays at CityNorth’s Ocean Prime

On Sunday, Ocean Prime introduced its newest weekly event series, called Wine Enthusiast Sundays. With these evenings featuring hand-selected wines and specials, we can hardly think of a better North Phoenix hot spot to enjoy fine wine and an elegant atmosphere than Ocean Prime’s luxe covered patio.

Modern American supper club Ocean Prime in CityNorth is making vino lovers an offer they can’t refuse. On Wine Enthusiast Sundays (every Sunday as of March 27), guests can enjoy hand-selected wines priced at $99 per bottle or less for half price. Whether you pair your glass with your dinner selection, or just want to enjoy a glass (or two) with friends in the swanky Blu Lounge, this sounds like a deal Phoenicians won’t want to pass up.

Open daily at 4 p.m. for dinner, Ocean Prime specializes in providing guests with an unforgettable dining experience each and every evening. Special little “extras” include nightly live piano music, the open-air covered patio with plush seating, and innovative “bar chefs” who staff the cocktail lounge. Upon entering the elegantly designed dining room, you’ll feel as though you’re taking a step back in time, to when an American supper club was the ultimate in preferred entertainment destinations for the social crowd. And at Ocean Prime, that statement still rings true.

Specialties at Ocean Prime include fresh fish, prime steak, handcrafted cocktails and world-class wines of the highest quality. To make your reservation, call 480.347.1313.

Ocean Prime is located at CityCenter of CityNorth at 5455 E. High St. in Phoenix

Haute Event: Red Cross Honors Marc Benioff as Humanitarian CEO of the Year
by Daniela Rodriguez

Giving a helping hand to a stranger is a great way to show you care for others. But when you donate over $1,000,000 in support of the local Red Cross chapter, you get honored by the Red Cross patrons and sponsors.

Marc Benioff was honored at the Weinstein Gallery in the Bay Area on Wednesday, March 9, for his huge support to the Red Cross, his continued commitment to the community, and his encouragement of others to give have made him stand out as this year’s recipient. This award is presented in conjunction with the 2011 Red Cross Gala, held on April 16, at Union Square in San Francisco.

The Red Cross Gala is the American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter’s annual fundraising event that benefits local disaster and readiness for the Bay’s 4.5 million residents, in addition to raising awareness about the vital role the Red Cross plays within global communities.

Guests were greeted by the unique work of art in the gallery, an Audi R8. Audi is the lead sponsor for this year’s Red Cross Gala. Other sponsors include salesforce.com, Shorenstein Company, Riverbed Technologies, Inc., IBM, and Hiro and Betty Ogawa. They got to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres accompanied by a trio of musicians, Savannah Jo Lack, who played throughout the whole event.

Japan Relief Menu at Sunshine Moon Peking Pub

For three consecutive days, April 1-3, Chinese restaurant Sunshine Moon Peking Pub in downtown Scottsdale will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds from a special menu to benefit Red Cross tsunami and earthquake efforts in Japan.

Friday through Sunday, Sunshine Moon Peking Pub will be offering a Japan Relief Menu consisting of Japanese-influenced dishes which Executive Chef Emilio Morales has created as a tribute to the citizens of Japan. The five-course meal will feature miso soup, sunomono salad (pickled cucumbers), tempura squash blossoms with citrus ponzu, seared tuna tataki, and saikyo miso cod.

“I have friends, family and colleagues whose loved ones have been affected by this natural disaster. Some still not accounted for,” Morales says. “Being able to help in any capacity is an honor to me.”

The cost for this special five-course meal will be $20 per person, and the restaurant, owned by Dr. Julie Chandler and Rich Sullivan, will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds to the Red Cross, to be used toward providing aid in Japan.

The American Red Cross is a nonprofit organization — not a government agency — and relies on volunteers and the public’s generosity in order to carry out its work, including providing shelter, food and emotional support to victims of disasters.

Sunshine Moon’s hours are from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. (T-Th: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; closed Monday)

Sunshine Moon Peking Pub is located at 4175 N. Goldwater Blvd. in Scottsdale 480.699.8807

Haute Event: Bouquets to Arts Gala at de Young Fine Arts Museum
by Daniela Rodriguez

Art and beautiful arrangements of flowers unite for the Bouquets to Arts Gala at the de Young Fine Arts Museum. Held from March 15 to 19, local florists are invited to visit the museum by The Museum Auxiliary  and choose a work of art they choose to make a floral design inspired by it.

There are many rules that are to be followed by the florists. It has to be very creative and it has to be able to survive a week and not wilt or fall apart. It cannot contain pods, dried branches, moss, wood, wool fabric, and so on, so that the exhibits don’t become infested with bugs.

It had a Spanish theme to it with Spanish music, decor, and tapas. The museum is recently kicked off its newest exhibit, Balenciaga and Spain, which opened on March 26 and looks at the impact of Spain’s culture, history, and art of courtier Cristobal Balenciaga by showcasing some of his most amazing outfits.

Victoria Pisa led home a Japan one-two finish in the US $10 million (DH36.7) Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates Airline this past week at the Meydan Racecourse. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE threw his hand in the air in delight when Japan’s Camp won, a rare gesture for the Ruler of Dubai even when his own team wins.

Trained by Katsuhiko Sumii and ridden by Italian jockey Mirco Dimuro, Vitorie Pisa finished ahead of Transcend and Shinji Fujita who had set the pace for much of the race and ended up wining second place. “My horse usually has a good start, but this time he hit his head in the stall and we had a bad start. But maybe it was lucky because there was a slow pace on the backstretch, so I could find a good position close to the leader. It was a really tight finish. We always believe in him. He’s won his last race very easy giving two kilos away. He’s a very nice horse. We were hoping to do well, but to win is amazing,” said Mirco Dimuro, first place winner.

Victory for the Japanese Camp took place during a moment of turmoil for the nation as a Tsunami and an Earthquake had ravaged the country earlier this month.
