Cisco back from Sizzle Miami

Miami and Memorial Day weekend can only mean one thing- the largest and hottest Black gay weekend to hit the east coast. Sizzle Miami celebrated its 7th year in operation this past Memorial Day as thousands of Black and Latino men descended upon the lush exotic south Florida metropolis to celebrate life, liberty, pride, beauty and boys. The event sold out three down town Miami hotels- The Hyatt, Marriot and the Hilton. The Hyatt Regency Miami, being the main host hotel of the event, was packed wall to wall with boys from the grand lobby entrance to the 24th floor as literally, the entire city of Miami was gay and of color. .

Your boy, Cisco was in the middle of it all. Chosen as the Latino “face” of the event, the infamous “Cisco with the surf board” photo became synonymous with the Sizzle event. Upon pulling up to the uber posh Hyatt Regency, my little 5’5” self was transformed into a 20 foot tall banner that proudly clung to two enormous palm trees, marking the start of what was to be an amazingly overwhelming weekend. You know I had to represent for the Latinos and the Sizzle crowd loved it.

Interestingly enough, I didn’t go go dance once at the event but was there rather to model for the 2009 Sizzle calendar, make appearances in VIP and party it up with some of the most beautiful Black men I have ever seen. As the Patron flowed and the hot Miami heat tanned my skin a cinnamon brown, myself and the other models migrated from the rooms to the lobby, from the lobby to the club, from the club to the VIP, from the VIP back to the telly. The nights went on till the morning and the partying was literally non-stop. . The elegant White party boasted some of the best R&B and Neo-Soul as singers Octavius Terry and Keke Wyatt performed for the crowd dawning all white attire.

The entire event and everyone I worked with were extremely organized and professional. The event boasts mainly Black gay men but openly welcomes the gay Latino community. I recommend everyone check out Sizzle Miami next year and see for yourself what the hell I’m talking about. This is one event they will be talking about for months!

Thank you to Dwight Powell, Rod, Jerry, Curtis, and all the Sizzle Models for one of the most amazing weekends I have ever had.
