Robin Sing-Cunningham — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:55:01 +0000

Did you miss it? Many fashionistas here in South Florida are just recovering from this past weekend’s celebrity fashion show blow out. Yes, the parties went on ALL night, ALL weekend.

Our trendy, chic, neighbors to the south turned up the heat this week with a dazzling display of hot bodies, big name designers and red-carpet celebrities at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim.

If South Florida needed any extra sizzle this past weekend it certainly turned up the heat with an invitation only bash that had many an eye popping and many a head turning. Beauty was everywhere. The only thing missing was Hugh Hefner himself.

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim is presented annually in Miami Beach, Florida, at The Raleigh Hotel. Known worldwide as “South Beach”, SoBe is located just 40 minutes south of the Fort Lauderdale real estate market. This was the fourth year of the event and it did not lack in star power whatsoever.

The MB Swim event coincides with the swimwear industry’s largest trade show, the invitation only event provides a runway platform for designers’ swimwear and resort collections with exposure to national and international media, style setters and fashionistas. Fashion, beauty, supermodels and celebrities come together in South Beach to celebrate the sexiest swimwear designs in the world.

Ever Wonder What Those Flags Mean On The Lifeguard Stands On Fort Lauderdale Beach?

Robin Sing-Cunningham — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:53:29 +0000

Don’t worry if you don’t, you’re not alone. Many tourists and locals alike could use a refesher course on beach safety. We get to live here in paradise in the Fort Lauderdale real estate area but living in paradise has its price and its responsibilities.While the ocean is beautiful and a day at the beach is one of the most enjoyable activities here in the Fort Lauderdale real estate area, a good day can come to a tragic ending in a hurry if you are not prepared.

Fort Lauderdale Beach has some of the best lifeguards and safety personnel anywhere. They routinely win awards for their unparalelled level of service and commitment to safety.

Fort Lauderdale Ocean Rescue supervises three miles of continuous public beach. In the lifeguard-supervised areas of Fort Lauderdale Beach, drowning is very rare. There has not been a drowning in a supervised beach area in over 20 years. Most water-related fatalities occur in unsupervised waters distant from lifeguard towers.

Accident prevention is the key to your safety. That leads me to today’s question. Do you know what those colored flags mean? Well if you don’t , this could be some very useful advice. This information is so important that it could save your life. Here is what the colors mean: (more…)

Free Things To Do In The Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market

Robin Sing-Cunningham — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:57:30 +0000

If you’re looking for something to do with the kids that is both educational and entertaining, try the Museum Of Art located Downtown in Fort Lauderdale. All summer long admission to all of the exhibits is free for kids under 5. Children older than that are still admitted free but they need to have a valid library card.

That should be no big deal as the library card is free as well and if your children don’t have a library card then now you have the makings of a great outing for you and your children. Of course you can apply online but that’s no fun.

Head over to the Fort Lauderdale library on Andrews and then it’s a block or two walk to the Museum of Art. Wow..what a day for the kids. When they visit the library they will be astounded by the size of the library and the volumes of books available for just about any interest your child may have.

With books in tow it’s off to the MOA to see some classic works ranging from:

Unbroken Ties: Dialogues in Cuban Art
Unbroken Ties, as the title suggests, focuses on the survival and perpetuity of Cuban values and the Cuban character beyond the island. The thesis is put forward by way of pointed comparisons and contrasts between works of art created by immigrants and works by nationals. (more…)

Long Time Coming But Finally The Miami Dolphins Traded Jason Taylor

Robin Sing-Cunningham — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:12:19 +0000

It’s a sad day here in the Fort Lauderdale real estate area. Although it had been rumored for some time, the Miami Dolphins finally went ahead and did it. They traded the heart of our team. Jason Taylor, who has been literally Mr. Everything to the Dolphins has been traded today to the Washington Redskins.

In exchange we got plenty of value…no we actually didn’t. I was kidding to stop myself from crying. The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010 for Taylor. Chump change for the six-time Pro Bowl defensive end - who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Are you kidding me? We get basically the parenthetical “player to be named later” in exchange for a star. This is absolutely crazy. I mean I support BIll Parcells in re-building the team but this in effect was performing open hear surgery, taking out a good heart, and inserting a baboon’s heart. I don’t understand!

It appears that Taylor ticked off some of his teammates by spending his offseason on the TV show “Dancing With the Stars” rather than sweating it out with teammates. (more…)

4 Year Old Boy Dies After Being Left In A Hot Car

Robin Sing-Cunningham — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:55:53 +0000

I am not sure what some people are thinking. Not sure if people from other areas realize this, but did you know summer in the Fort Lauderdale real estate market can bring absolutely brutal heat?

A 4-year-old boy died this morning after being left in the car while his mother was inside a nail salon getting a manicure, pedicure and facial for her wedding later in the day.

The heat inside of a car that sits in the South Florida sun can reach as high as 130+ degrees. A car in the hot sun acts like a greenhouse, trapping the sun’s heat. In our sub-tropical climate it can take only minutes for the temperature to get that high.

The mother, 29, may not have known her son was in the car, investigators said. She dropped off children at a relative’s house before going to get her nails done.

After discovering the child at 11:45 a.m., about two hours after leaving the SUV, the mother or an aunt called 911 in hysterics. One of the women attempted CPR and paramedics did as well upon their arrival. The boy was pronounced dead (more…)
