Oh Boym!
By David Sokol

Constantin Boym and Laurene Leon Boym have a knack for keeping one step ahead of the rest of us. Before adaptive reuse seduced designers sensitive to overabundance, the Boyms had transformed thrift-shop tea cups and dishes into the beautifully mismatched towers of Salvation Ceramics for Moooi, and reconceived modest plumbing as vases for Benza. The sense of Americana that has yielded a preponderance of antlers in design is a spirit that first percolated through the Boyms’ blood, yielding projects like Upstate Plates and the “Searstyle Furniture” exhibition.

While such second looks at common elements of American life are still refreshing, the Boyms have since shifted their laser-beam focus onto new subjects. The Ultimate Art Furniture collection, in which paintings comprise furniture, quite literally deciphers the realignment of the design world with the art market. Another self-produced project, Souvenirs for the End of the Century, offers a truly modern contemplation on cognitive memory and the compulsion to collect. A more recent iteration of the souvenirs series is the, still-evolving, Buildings of Disaster collection that surged into the public consciousness after September 11, when the Boyms were inundated with requests for their bonded-nickel replicas of the Twin Towers, even by survivors of the World Trade Center disaster.

The way in which Buildings of Disaster transformed from ironic commentary to beloved memento approximates the Boyms’ own trajectory. “The margins have moved,” Constantin explains, “design has become a much more inclusive discipline and that now includes more extravagant pieces.” Laurene adds that consumers have widened their scope to embrace narrative-based and conceptual design, too. “Now you can do an object that doesn’t refer to design itself, but to a subject like death or souvenirs, and people understand these objects because they’re acclimated to society.” Although the Boyms continue to make provocative designs, the times are catching up to this power couple. Once considered left-of-center visionaries, they are now comfortably ensconced as deans of a new American design.

Nikki Style: In order to push some of your experimental designs beyond the prototype stage, you’ve become your own client.

Laurene Leon Boym: We’ve had enormous success doing independent projects before anybody [else] had that idea. It was new for designers to say, “I’m going to get out of the loop and produce my own thing.”

NS: I’ve heard other designers say that now, manufacturing on your own is the only way to realize progressive concepts in America.

Constantin Boym: I don’t think it’s the only way, but it’s the way we chose for ourselves, and we are continuing to move even further in this direction. I think being your own client and promoter gives you more creative freedom and actually speeds up production. One of the most intoxicating aspects of the Art Furniture is the fact that three or four months after I conceived something, it was on the shop floor at Moss.

LLB: The thing is that designers have dropped the ball. The idea of the authority of the designer, from the days of Charles Eames or Paul Rand, doesn’t exist anymore, because designers are so not sure about their own opinions. I think it’s very important for designers to take the reigns and start making decisions for the public. Basically, designers should know what people want before they know they want it. That should be a designers’ role in society—not just a tool of capitalist culture.

CB: The Internet made it possible to reach a great amount of potential consumers without leaving your own studio.

NS: U.S.-based designers feel compelled to go into manufacturing just at the point when this country boasts more choreographers than metalsmiths—what’s the state of fabrication here?

CB: You make things in this country not for cheaper or more convenient labor, but for the uniqueness of the skills that are available here. We saw this chair at the Cooper-Hewitt made from Texas longhorns, a piece from the 1920s; those masters are in El Paso, still probably making chairs like this. All it takes is research and effort and it’s possible to get these people to make new, avant-garde pieces.

LLB: This is the tip of the iceberg, too, and the beginning of a new era for design. We still use the usual channels in China, of course. We produced our Babel Blocks in China; I coordinated the whole production over the Internet.

NS: Designers have followed you into the production business, but they’ve also appropriated themes, such as material salvage and souvenirs, that ostensibly trace to you. Is that frustrating?

CB: When I did [the collection] Recycle in 1988, the statement was so unusual that older people were actually correcting me, saying the word “recycle” doesn't exist. But ideas are part of a culture, and I’m very open to other people taking them over.

LLB: That’s what makes it interesting. We’re not talking about plagiarism, but about creative interpretations of the same ideas. To be sure, I think it’s interesting to be out in front.

NS: How do you stay there?

CB: When something has been taken over and explored thoroughly by a new generation that gives us not just an opportunity, but a necessity to move forward. The Art Furniture was still about recycling, but of paintings that had been disposed to flea markets and yard sales, brought over and reconfigured in a different way. That was new. But maybe even that will be overtaken soon — that’s how the creative process works.

LLB: I think that’s how our work and agenda as designers is characterized—by this curious moving forward, this quest for the ultimate expression of what’s inside us and what’s there in society. We keep seeing things differently and framing things differently, and the fact that our design is not driven by a formal methodology gives us a lot of latitude.

NS: Speaking of Art Furniture, it is a cunning commentary on the art market’s embrace of contemporary products—at exactly the moment that Marc Newson breaks seven figures on the auction market. Since your work forecasts and responds to cultural phenomena, what occurrences do you foresee broaching in the near future?

CB: The convergence of art and design. It’s very much a new thing. It’s still emerging and I think this is what’s going to be around us for the next five years or so. What was exceptional, now, becomes the norm and even the stodgiest companies are producing limited editions. It’s interesting to see how objects and art come together.

Another area of interest is something we’ve been exploring for years, and that is the design object that’s not functional in the direct sense. You cannot hammer nails or brush teeth with the Buildings of Disaster series, yet people buy complete collections. Collecting as a function is little understood in the 20th century, but I think it’s going to be more important. People collect “stuff” and that’s reason enough to produce collectibles.

NS: Are there any specific forthcoming plans you can reveal to Nikki Style readers?

CB: We are planning to open a gallery of design arts in New York, near the New Museum. The gallery would show our own work, but also that of like-minded designers. Boym Space is the tentative title. It’s a space in the physical sense but also the mental—it’s our point of view, our humor, our paradoxes, our investigations, which characterize our, and others’, work with curated stories and different events.

LLB: It’s a cultural destination.

CB: And I think our studio would essentially merge into that. The creativity would be expressed through the studio: This will be our client and our exposure to people at large.

LLB: Both of us have always done quite a bit of public service. I think it’s time to take that ability to connect with other like-minded designers and bring it into a different realm. Also, we have such a rich cultural history on the Bowery; we’re really interested in championing that legacy of cross-pollination with other cultural disciplines, through the channel of design.

Nikki Style: In order to push some of your experimental designs beyond the prototype stage, you’ve become your own client.

NS: I’ve heard other designers say that now, manufacturing on your own is the only way to realize progressive concepts in America.

CB: The Internet made it possible to reach a great amount of potential consumers without leaving your own studio.

Lights, Camera and Non-stop Nikki Action
By Bela Heitz

The jet setting Nikki Beach brand made its return to the South of France, where its signature beach club concept took up residence on La Croisette to produce one of Cannes Film Festival’s most exciting event spaces. As glamour, sophistication and the international party scene came alive, capturing that exclusively chic ambience that attracts celebrities and global A-listers to Nikki Beach around the world, the Cannes installment of the famed venue presented ten days of the hottest movie premieres, concerts and fashion shows from May 14^th through May 25^th.

One glimpse at Nikki Beach Cannes, and the telltale crisp teepees, customized bamboo furniture and custom white linens assured attendees, guests and film industry elite that the week’s celebratory hotspot was sure to be in full effect this year. The new daytime venue, situated at the modern four-star hotel Le Grand Hotel Cannes, featured a stunning beach club that faced the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean, only steps away from the red carpet action of the official Festival center, while the late-night Club Nikki is the epicenter of Cannes entertainment, and was located across from Le Grand Hotel Cannes inside the Palais Stephanie.

The quintessential locale to see and be seen, Nikki Beach’s always exclusive repertoire of events included a daily lineup of private parties, press junkets, high-energy sets and touring events headlined by world renowned DJ’s, and celebrity appearances in addition to the daytime/nighttime around the clock celebrations that makes the beach club the ultimate entertainment destination. Kicking off the week was a performance by Macy Gray, where partner L’Oreal’s spokeswomen Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes were spotted amidst a crowd of chic attendees. F*** Me I’m Famous, DJ David Guetta’s legendary touring club party, made a stop off at Club Nikki, joined with live performance by Chris Willis. The internet’s famously private group “ASMALLWORLD” celebrated on Friday night with a private event, while Wyclef Jean turned up the heat with an incredible concert that rocked the Croisette. Saturday and Sunday featured ultra exclusive fetes for HBO, Petra Nemcova, Europa Corp with Luc Besson, the cast of Indiana Jones and a live set by Birdy Nam Nam. A private celebrity poker tournament, dinners and cocktail parties, where guests ranged from Roman Polanski and Sean Penn to Dennis Hopper, Benicio Del Toro, Bijoux Phillips and Abel Ferrara, were scheduled through the rest of the week, while late night parties included Soiree Censored by John and Michael Roger, Video Jockey Micha Klein, Defected in the House, Le Bisou Party, Dj Gregory and more.

Yet another element to the overall Nikki Beach Cannes experience was the gifting lounge, which has put Nikki Beach Cannes on the map as one of the most coveted Swag spots for film starlets and celebrities to get pampered for their parties and premieres. This year, the “Riviera Lounge Gift Room” was produced by The Escape Group, and was open daily from 11:00am-5:00pm to offer on location product, servicing styling, and gifts to A-listers, award nominees and presenters, top stylists and media. Positioned as “gifting with a purpose,” proceeds from the lounge were donated to amfAR—an organization founded in 1985 that is dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic through innovative research.

An incredible list of week-long participants, including Grey Goose Vodka, Piper Heidsieck Champagne, Cointreau, Remy Martin, Motley Bird energy drink and Zeelander Yachts rounded out a platform of posh sponsors whose involvement enhanced the Nikki Beach experience from cocktails to chic cruises along La Croisette. Each partner capitalized on the creative energy circulating in Cannes, uniquely expressing brand creativity through custom integration. Cointreau showcased their new "Cointreau Teese", a violet “flower cocktail” created by the liquor brand’s new spokesperson Dita Von Teese using Monin violet petals and the Cointreaupolitan, while Grey Goose erected a sleek, fully functional customized ultra lounge complete with chairs that glowed with the signature Grey Goose logo and mirrored cocktail tables, serving libations with Caviar and fresh mango. Remy Martin was highlighted as the official cognac of the Cannes Film Festival, while Piper Heidsieck Champagne, the official champagne of the Cannes Film Festival, released a new "vintage" bottle at Nikki Beach and served their famous “Piscine” champagne cocktail on the rocks. Event the festival’s A-list was treated to a preview of new Dutch luxury yacht company, Zeelander, who offered the ultimate boating experience of their mini-superyacht that represents speed, glamour and technical expertise that appealed to Cannes sophisticates. Throughout the Cannes Film Festival, three Zeelander Yachts served as relaxation points and luxury taxis that ferried VIP’s to their desired destination- from glamorous film premieres and screenings to A-list parties and events.

Over the past five years, Nikki Beach at the Cannes Film Festival has catered to an incredible clientele, including Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson hosting the premier party for their movie "Match Point,", the "Trophee Chopard," hosted by Penelope Cruz and Sir Elton John (two years in a row), an Alicia Keys private concert, Sharon Stone hosting her press conference for "Basic Instinct II," Natalie Portman and George Lucas's press conference for the latest "Star Wars," The Valentino Cocktail party and many others. As the festival and festivities came to a close, it was a wrap for the sixth consecutive year of Nikki Beach Cannes, once again setting the bar high as the ultimate jet set party scene on the Croisette.

Not Over Yet
By Drew Hinshaw

Let’s say that you’re a middle-aged trance DJ, a Brit. Back in your 20s, you went from spinning records on London’s West End to an A&R desk where you signed two rap duos that didn’t amount to a hill of beans. One was called something like Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, and the other was named maybe Oil and Vinegar or Salt’N’Pepa, or Garlic and Mashed Potatoes... something along those lines. Anyway, you went on to be a big remixer, producer, DJ, and label mogul—and you’re wondering what’s left?

So, you start exploring other outlets—scoring films and co-authoring biographies rich in wisdom for the aspiring DJ. Maybe you starred as a raging un-dead mutant in an English dystopian film, or even if you didn’t, your Wikipedia entry steadfastly claims you did. Whatever. You’re Paul Oakenfold and you’ve done a lot in your 44 years on earth.

Nikki Style: Are you scoring any films or games right now?

Paul Oakenfold: Yeah, I got a movie coming out that I scored called Noble Son. Then I go back to L.A. to work on a movie called Humboldt Park.

NS: So you’ve kept busy then.

PO: Yeah, I enjoy the movies.

NS: What made you get into scoring?

PO: I got a chance to score a movie called Swordfish, which was a John Travolta and Halle Berry movie. I really enjoyed the process, so I just continued to do it.

NS: Who were your big inspirations as you started getting into film scores?

PO: In terms of composers and conductors, I like Harry Gregson-Williams. I like John Williams’ work. I think Hans Zimmer is really good. They’re the kind of guys who I always look out for their scores. I think that John Powell does good work.

NS: You played a zombie in 28 Weeks Later, right?

PO: No, that’s not true.

NS: Damn. I saw that on Wikipedia.

PO: Yeah, I was given a chance to do it, but I turned it down.

NS: Why’d you turn it down?

PO: Well, it’s because I don’t want to be in front of the camera.

NS: What else are you currently working on besides film scores?

PO: That’s it really. I just got my greatest hits album. It’s just come out, it’s doing really well. I’m just supporting the album and the book.

NS: I meant to ask you about that. You’ve got this biography out.

PO: Yeah. It’s with Richard Norris.

NS: Did it take a long time to write?

PO: Years. Three years.

"Q" For Quirky
By Kit Bowen

No one could ever accuse Zooey Deschanel of playing it straight. Playing it perfectly deadpan, perhaps, but never safe. The 28-year-old actress always adds her own certain eccentricities to everything she does, making her work onscreen endlessly fascinating to watch.

Take, for example, her breakout role as Anita Miller, the free-spirited older sister to 15-year-old aspiring rock journalist William Miller (played by Patrick Fugit) in Cameron Crowe’s semi-autobiographical Almost Famous. Deschanel infuses her character with just the right amount of rebellion and sweetness, so that when she looks her brother in the eye and tells him, “One day you’ll be cool. Look under your bed, it’ll set you free,” you’re completely sold.

Born into a showbiz family— dad Caleb Deschanel is an Oscar-winning cinematographer; mom is actress Mary Jo Deschanel; sister is actress Emily Deschanel of TV’s Bones— Deschanel is named after the main character in J.D. Salinger’s short story collection Franny and Zooey. That should tell you something right there.

From her first co-starring role in the cult indie film Mumford, to getting notice in Almost Famous, Deschanel has turned in equally idiosyncratic performances in films such as Elf (in which we also discover the actress can sing), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Failure to Launch, costarring with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey. Deschanel also recently starred in the family drama Bridge to Terabithia and as “DG”, a re-imagined Dorothy, in the Sci-Fi Channel’s original mini-series Tin Man, a take-off on the The Wizard of Oz.

Heading To The Dark Side

Now, Deschanel is headed into decidedly dark territory in environmental thriller The Happening, the latest film from director M. Night Shyamalan, in theaters June 13. Although Shyamalan is notoriously tight-lipped about his plotlines, Nikki Style can reveal that Deschanel will play Alma Moore, a woman forced to go on the run with her estranged husband (played by Mark Walhberg), after a devastating global event threatens to destroy civilization as we know it. The cast also includes John Leguizamo, Spencer Breslin and Ashlyn Sanchez.

Apocalyptic event? We wouldn’t expect anything less from the eclectic direction of Shyamalan—and from Deschanel. Whatever the situation her character may find herself, you can be certain the actress will bring something unique to it.

“I don’t want to go to another rollercoaster ride of a movie. If I want that, I’ll go to Magic Mountain,” Deschanel once described as her reasons for doing movies off the beaten path. Adding, “I’m really interested in the young directors that are doing different things in cinema. I think the movies people will hold onto are the Rushmore (1998)s and the Being John Malkovich (1999)s. Those are the kind of films I want to do; that’s what I’m passionate about.”

A Fashion Designer’s Muse

And speaking of off the beaten track, Deschanel hasn’t just stopped with acting. She has also attached herself to up and coming designer Erin Fetherston, known for her loose-fitting, baby-doll styles, with a touch of a ‘60s flower child—a vintage look that suits Deschanel perfectly.

“I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal,” Deschanel once confessed.

Fetherston has enlisted Hollywood beauties Zooey Deschanel and Kirsten Dunst, a childhood friend, to star in her latest fashion film, which premiered at Los Angeles Fashion Week in March. According to Nylon, the movie, debuting exclusively at the West Hollywood hotspot Villa, showcases Fetherston’s latest Shakespearean-inspired collection, which the designer describes as: “Representations of Juliet throughout pop culture.”

But Deschanel’s artistic diversity doesn’t end there. The actress is also broadening her vocal talents as part of the cabaret act If All The Stars Were Pretty Babies with Samantha Shelton (sister of actress Marley Shelton), and teamed up with alternative rocker M. Ward under the moniker She & Him, for the release of her debut album, poignantly titled Volume One, earlier this year.

Though acting remains her first love; up next, she’ll star opposite Jim Carrey in the romantic comedy Yes Man, a story about a guy who challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year. Does that include saying “yes” to Deschanel? We have no qualms about that.

Cool + Sublime

   It’s hard to believe that we live in Olivo Barbieri’s world. One portrayed through photographs that reverberate a unique and unimaginable calm. They force us to stop, and stay a while. A peaceful, protective layer envelops his people and places, effortlessly glorified, void of crime, poverty and chaos. Each frame is a moment, frozen in a quieting stir. Barbieri makes our overwhelmingly large, frantic world look and feel oh so small.

   Holding that world in his hands, through the use of a tilt-frame camera, Barbieri shifts the plane of focus so that it is out of alignment with the film. Ordinarily, this allows wide-angle aerial views to be captured in proper perspective, though used incorrectly, as he does intentionally, an optical illusion occurs.

   Aside from creating visually dynamite images, Barbieri’s photography utilizes complete control over the way our society is projected. The artist often captures images of scenes that are very familiar to us, like Rome, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, yet, through his lens, these normally monolithic structures become toy-like and innocent. His technique does not capture true shallow depth of field, based on the distance of the subject from the lens. Instead, it merely simulates the effect by tilting the lens’ angle to the back plane of the camera, creating a gradual blurring at the edges. The loss of detail makes objects appear even more model-like; even more ideal and imaginative than could be expected.

   Olivo Barbieri now divides his time between Rome, Capri, and Modena, Italy, where he was born. Inspired by a photographer uncle, he began taking photographs as a child, going on to study photography at the University of Bologna. And though there’s no question that he has mastered the technical aspects of photography—expertly using the view camera to “destroy” perspective, as he describes it—a keen sense of imagination is elemental to his work. All too often do we see photography that is overexposed, overworked or overdone. Barbieri’s work is a refreshing revival of the very essence of good photography—playful and engaging imagery with an intelligent message.

   When they were built, the preponderance of places Barbieri has photographed was intended to be the biggest and most spectacular, but in his photographs, they are merely small pieces of this imaginatively grand puzzle. His style aims to give a sense of the proportions of a building to its surrounding environments, and to highlight, dispassionately, its design. His work not only destroys a sense of scaled perspective, but it destroys our preconceptions—about how cities look and how they feel, as well. Barbieri’s photographs are deliciously smooth and accessible. For the audience, it’s a deconstruction of the regular way of seeing. And it’s about time that an artist gave us that kind of perspective on our very large world.

Star Struck

Nikki Beach celebrates its third year in Cannes.

Nikki Style: In order to push some of your experimental designs beyond the prototype stage, you’ve become your own client.

NS: I’ve heard other designers say that now, manufacturing on your own is the only way to realize progressive concepts in America.

CB: The Internet made it possible to reach a great amount of potential consumers without leaving your own studio.

NS: U.S.-based designers feel compelled to go into manufacturing just at the point when this country boasts more choreographers than metalsmiths—what’s the state of fabrication here?

LLB: That’s what makes it interesting. We’re not talking about plagiarism, but about creative interpretations of the same ideas. To be sure, I think it’s interesting to be out in front.

NS: How do you stay there?

NS: Are there any specific forthcoming plans you can reveal to Nikki Style readers?

CB: And I think our studio would essentially merge into that. The creativity would be expressed through the studio: This will be our client and our exposure to people at large.

Lights, Camera and Non-stop Nikki Action
By Bela Heitz

Nikki Style: Are you scoring any films or games right now?

Paul Oakenfold: Yeah, I got a movie coming out that I scored called Noble Son. Then I go back to L.A. to work on a movie called Humboldt Park.

NS: So you’ve kept busy then.

PO: Yeah, I enjoy the movies.

NS: What made you get into scoring?

PO: I got a chance to score a movie called Swordfish, which was a John Travolta and Halle Berry movie. I really enjoyed the process, so I just continued to do it.

NS: Who were your big inspirations as you started getting into film scores?

NS: You played a zombie in 28 Weeks Later, right?

PO: No, that’s not true.

NS: Damn. I saw that on Wikipedia.

PO: Yeah, I was given a chance to do it, but I turned it down.

NS: Why’d you turn it down?

PO: Well, it’s because I don’t want to be in front of the camera.

NS: What else are you currently working on besides film scores?

PO: That’s it really. I just got my greatest hits album. It’s just come out, it’s doing really well. I’m just supporting the album and the book.

NS: I meant to ask you about that. You’ve got this biography out.

PO: Yeah. It’s with Richard Norris.

NS: Did it take a long time to write?

PO: Years. Three years.

NS: Did you guys just meet up and talk about your life?

PO: Yeah, but it’s also to give younger DJs an idea how to achieve certain things because that is always the biggest question you get asked.

NS: So what’s your advice for younger DJs?

PO: Buy the book. (Laughs). Yeah. Buy the book.

NS: Which younger DJs do you see a lot of promise in?

PO: I like Kenneth Thomas from Detroit, Robert Vadney from Greece, Adam White from England, Liam Shachar from Israel. I see a lot of international DJs, but they’re just a bunch of my favorites.

NS: Do you consider your personal sound the product of a particular place such as England, New York, or Spain?

PO: No, not really. My sound is pretty much a melodic trance sound, and people around the world can relate to that sound because it brings good feelings out of them.

Heading To The Dark Side

A Fashion Designer’s Muse

“I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal,” Deschanel once confessed.

ABOUT ST TROPEZ

Lining the small streets of this Mediterranean resort town are quaint cafes and picturesque buildings, as well as a multitude of boutiques, antique dealers, art galleries, shops, and restaurants to satisfy every visitor’s taste and style. "Discovered" in the late 19th century by artists and writers, the reputation of Saint-Tropez gained popularity as sexy starlets of the 1930’s flocked to the locale, leaving all inhibitions behind. Set on the exquisitely blue waters of the Golfe de Saint-Tropez, the town is the portrait of jet-set lavishness, with luxury yachts lined up in the harbor, expensive cars cruising the streets, and helicopters “delivering” glamorous guests to elite events and private estates along the coastline.

Lining the small streets of this Mediterranean resort town are quaint cafes and picturesque buildings, as well as a multitude of boutiques, antique dealers, art galleries, shops, and restaurants to satisfy every visitor’s taste and style. Perhaps the hub of the town is near the Office of Tourism at the Place aux Herbes, where fish, fruit, vegetable and flower stalls add excitement and culture to the daily visit.

Just minutes away from the town center are the world famous beaches, some within walking distance, and others (along the Baie de Pampelonne, for example) a short drive away. All beaches are lined with restaurants and shops for lunching, gift-buying, or simply taking in the true fashion and style of the always fashionable French Riviera.

AIRPORTS

The nearby airports are: Toulon-Hyeres, Marseille-Provence, Nice-Cote d’Azur, La Mole

TIME ZONE

Located on the bay of Pampelonne in the center of the Riviera, Nikki Beach St. Tropez possesses a vibe and clientele that epitomizes the idea of jet set.

History

The City of Hollywood is a mature and built-out community, where rapid population growth in the 1950s and 1960s has given way to a population that is stable in size but undergoing significant changes in its composition. The October 1997 issue of Money Magazine noted that Hollywood's demographics best represent what the United States will look like in the year 2022. Hollywood's racial diversity, cultural variety, and blend of the old and young are where the country is headed. Twenty-seven percent of Hollywood's residents are 55 or older; thirteen percent are 45 to 54; and thirty-one percent are 25 to 44. Hispanics make up seventeen percent; African Americans thirteen percent; Whites sixty-eight percent; and Asian Americans two percent of the population. The magazine forecasts that this will be the composition of the United States in the year 2022, with the exception that Hispanics will be fourteen percent and Asian Americans five percent. Hollywood, the "City of the Future," is proud of its cultural and racial diversity.

A coastal city of over 130,000 residents located in Broward County, Hollywood is nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport abuts the city, while Port Everglades, the second busiest cruise port in the world, is partially within its municipal boundaries. Interstate 95, the Florida Turnpike, Tri-County Commuter Rail, and two major railroads cut through the city in a north-south direction. Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami are less than twenty-five miles away, providing further opportunities for Hollywood residents and companies to have access to the global marketplace.

Entertainment

Each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening, weather permitting, top local entertainers take the stage of the Hollywood Beach Theater. Come to the Broadwalk for the unique experience of dancing under the starts in the balmy ocean breezes. Each Monday the Theater Under The Stars Series features music from the Big Band Era.

Wednesdays, the On the Broadwalk Concert Series presents a variety of entertainers from country and classic rock to rhythm and blues.

Climate

The weather in Marrakech is sunny nearly all year round, with pleasantly warm summers and mild winters. The hottest months of the year are July, August and September, but there is no humidity so temperatures are generally bearable. Winter can bring heavy downpours of rain, which leave the streets of the old town very muddy, and winter nights can be cold.

Language

Because of the varied historical influences on the people of Morocco, there is a large variety of languages spoken throughout the country

Moroccan Arabic
This is the official language of Morocco. Though it is somewhat different from most other types of Arabic, most Moroccans can understand conventional Arabic.

Hassaniyya Arabic
Also known as Moor. Over 40 000 in Southern Morocco people speak this form of Arabic.

Judeo-Moroccan Arabic
Only about 8 925 people speak this form of Arabic. It is generally confined to certain, small areas in Morocco.

Standard Arabic
Most Moroccans can understand this form of Arabic which is spoken and written much throughout the rest of the Middle East and North Africa. Most Arabic television programs are in this form of Arabic.

Moroccan Sign Language
There is a large number of deaf men who speak sign language in the city of Oujda. It is hard to determine how many women are capable of sign language as they do not speak it in the streets. There are a few small deaf schools who teach the language though it is not generally used in Rabat, Tangier and Casa Blanca. Most people who use MSL cannot read or write Arabic. MSL is very different from American Sign Language and people conversant in the two sign languages would struggle to understand each other.

Spanish
Over 20,000 people in Morocco are capable of speaking Spanish. Besides being only a short distance away, Spain also acted as a protectorate of Morocco for a while after 1912. This resulted in Spanish influence in culture and language.

Tachelhit
3 to 4 million of the people of Morocco speak this form of Berber.

Central Atlas Tamazight
This is also spoken by roughly 3 million of the inhabitants of Morocco. It is a dialect of Berber.

Tarifit

A lesser used dialect of the Berber language. It is spoken by about 1.5 million people in Morocco.

Los Cabos is referred to the two main towns, San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. It’s most remarkable feature is The Legendary Cabo San Lucas Arch at the tip of the magnificent Baja Peninsula. Los Cabos is blessed with a perfect climate of an average year-round temperature of 78 degrees. Our wonderful destination has become world-class known and it offers sophisticated accommodations, championship golf courses, spectacular sport fishing, unique scuba diving, a full-service marina, superb restaurants and a renowned nightlife. The jewel of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas has something for everyone. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it here!

Language
Mexico as the rest of Latin America is a Spanish speaking country; although since Tourism is the largest source of income, almost everybody speaks English in a fluent way.

Currency
Even though the currency in Mexico is Pesos, most places will accept USD. Approximately $1.00 usd = $10.00 pesos

Credit Cards
Most major credit cards (Visa, Master Card and Amex) are widely accepted. In restaurants, it is best to ask before ordering, not every business accepts credit cards. Banks give cash advances and they all have ATM machines at their locations, for after hours cash.

Drinking Age
The legal drinking age is 18.

Electricity
México uses the same voltage as the United States and Canada. If you are coming from Europe, or any country that uses 220 volts, you will need the proper adapters.

Cellular phone
Some cellular services will allow you to roam in Mexico. Most cell phones will work, but they must be reprogrammed by the local service provider (Baja Celular or Telcel).

Water
Do not drink tap water. In hotels and most restaurants, you will get purified water. Buy bottled water to be on the safe side.

Walking around town at night
It is safe to walk around the town at night. There is very little crime in the Baja Peninsula but use your common sense, and be careful. This applies only to Los Cabos; the mainland of Mexico is another matter.

Taxi rates
It is best to check with the front desk. They should be able to tell you what the fare should be, and then check again with the taxi driver.

Public bus system
There are public busses that run between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo all day, every day of the week. They start running in San Jose at 5:00 AM and in Cabo they start at 5:20 AM, and run until 9:30 or 10:00 PM.
There are official bus stops, with seats and shade, but the busses can be flagged down, from almost anywhere along the highway, by waving your arms. The fare is 16 pesos (about $1.45 U.S.) between the two towns, less if you’re only going part of the way.

Hospitals and doctors
There is a nice new hospital and several English speaking doctors. Front desk should be able to help with this information.

Beaches
The beaches on the Pacific side can be very dangerous, especially in the summer, be very careful. Medano Beach and Lover's Beach (bay side only, beware on the Pacific side) are the safest places to swim. Chileno and Santa Maria Bay are usually safe, but be careful with the strong underwater currents.

Topless beaches
They are illegal in México although the practice is tolerated in some areas.

Where to stay

The Best Place to Stay is Hotel ME Cabo, an experience beyond mere accommodation, designed to raise eyebrows, to blur boundaries, to tempt, to tease and ultimately to transform.

Set on the shores of Medano Beach at the popular Me Cabo Hotel, Nikki Beach Cabo San Lucas is a luxurious jet-set utopia that should not be missed.

Signature white teepees and plush lounge beds adorn the property, while some of the world’s most beautiful people languidly sip mojitos and soak up the sun. As the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez glisten in the background, guests can socialize over lunch, sample the delicious sushi, and enjoy afternoon champagne and cocktails.

As the sun sets, visitors can dance to the renowned global sounds of dance and house music spun by resident DJs who know how to work the crowd, making Nikki Beach Cabo San Lucas truly deserving of its title as the “Sexiest Place on Earth.” For late night celebrations, the partygoers can continue on to Passion Lounge and Nightclub, featuring a separate lounge, club, VIP room, and premium bar.

Judeo-Moroccan Arabic
Only about 8 925 people speak this form of Arabic. It is generally confined to certain, small areas in Morocco.

Tachelhit
3 to 4 million of the people of Morocco speak this form of Berber.

Language
Mexico as the rest of Latin America is a Spanish speaking country; although since Tourism is the largest source of income, almost everybody speaks English in a fluent way.

Currency
Even though the currency in Mexico is Pesos, most places will accept USD. Approximately $1.00 usd = $10.00 pesos

Drinking Age
The legal drinking age is 18.

Electricity
México uses the same voltage as the United States and Canada. If you are coming from Europe, or any country that uses 220 volts, you will need the proper adapters.

Cellular phone
Some cellular services will allow you to roam in Mexico. Most cell phones will work, but they must be reprogrammed by the local service provider (Baja Celular or Telcel).

Water
Do not drink tap water. In hotels and most restaurants, you will get purified water. Buy bottled water to be on the safe side.

Taxi rates
It is best to check with the front desk. They should be able to tell you what the fare should be, and then check again with the taxi driver.

Hospitals and doctors
There is a nice new hospital and several English speaking doctors. Front desk should be able to help with this information.

Topless beaches
They are illegal in México although the practice is tolerated in some areas.

Where to stay

The Best Place to Stay is Hotel ME Cabo, an experience beyond mere accommodation, designed to raise eyebrows, to blur boundaries, to tempt, to tease and ultimately to transform. More than a place to stay, a place to be.

SEASON Open April to October?

Experience the down-to-earth side of the city with a visit to exquisite “Orange Square,” where historical buildings, little boutiques, art galleries, pubs and bistros dot the streets, and are full of activity from dawn to dusk. A jaunt down any of the city’s surrounding narrow streets of intermingled homes and shops will keep any visitor busy, where plenty of authentic restaurants offer a varied seafood, paella and tapas selection to cure any appetite.

Stroll towards the sea on the Avenida del Mar, an incredible coastal promenade that features upscale restaurants, magnificent landscaping, and truly captures the simplistic elegance that Marbella represents. Puerto Banus, west of the town, offers yachtside pampering and a slightly more commercial feel with renowned fashion houses and designer boutiques, a casino, marine observatory, cinema, bustling nightlife and much more.

Marbella is close by to major cities and legendary cultural centres: Malaga, Granada, Seville and via the port of Algeciras almost borders with Africa.

The town of Marbella enjoys a comprehensive communication network, not only by road (Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz y Seville are just an hour and a half distance using the highway), but also by plane (Malaga's airport is only half an hour away from Marbella) or boat, thanks to its renowned yacht clubs.

Weather

The Spanish Costa del has Europe’s most favorable climate with 320 days of sun and temperatures ranging from 16 to 30 degrees Celsius (61 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) all year. The average temperature is 19º C (66 ºF) and there are fewer than 50 days of rain. First rains are late September or early October, lasting for a day or two of heavy showers. Daily highs about 20º C (68º F) and nightly lows rarely much below 10º C (50º F). Sunbathing is possible almost every day from June to September when there is virtually no rain, and daily highs reach about 35º C (95º F) with nightly lows 15º C (59º F).

Data

Marbella county covers a total area of 114.3 sq km and 26 km along the coast. It comprises several important urban sites: Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucia and Las Chapas, as well as several suburbs. According to 2006 data, the total of Marbellla population is 125.519. Men 61.889 and Women 63.620.
Marbella is surrounded by Estepona, Benahavís, Istán, Ojén y Mijas.

Fauna and Flora

The land is rich in cork oaks, oaks, pines, fig trees, chestnuts, carob trees and, of course, olive trees. It is not that abundant in its fauna, although Hispanic goats, foxes, rabbits and Mediterranean partridges can be found. Unsimilarly, the sea offers a wide variety of species, such as sardines, hinds, porgies, saurels, red mullets, as well as mussels, clams, etc.

Rivers

Water courses run mainly short distances and flow straight into the Mediterranean sea. The most important ones are the Guadalmina, Gaidaiza, Verde y Real. There are also lots of little streams that have been sometimes grounded by the town. The Concepción reservoir (able to hold approximately 56 hm3), and several other dams (Pantano Nuevo, Viejo y Medranas) complete the hydrographic scenario.

Location

Marbella lies at 36º 30' 34'' latitude North and 1º 11' 46'' longitude West. It is approximately 22 m high above sea leve
