Reality TV studs in Fort Lauderdale, ‘Van Halen’ in Boca Raton, models playing volleyball – Sun Sentinel

Builders in downtown Fort Lauderdale have been criticized for brooding over history, memories, and tradition—so it’s heartwarming to see one of the new Flagler Village hotels host an event celebrating our happy days.

On Saturday, The Easton Rooftop Pool & Lounge at the Courtyard by Marriott on the Federal Highway will host Harry Jowsey, the Australian star of the Netflix reality show “Too Hot to Hand.” Jowsey is one of the handsome social media “influencers” (the famous Burmese python) that has invaded South Florida in recent years.

But Jowsey also appears to be a sensitive keeper of a beloved Fort Lauderdale story and will use her looks to pay homage to our heritage by holding a wet tee contest at the Easton pool. The winner receives a future rental of cabana at Easton (worth $1,000).

The party runs until 6pm on Saturday afternoon and admission starts at $35+ (VIP open bar tickets are $150+ and cabana rentals are available). It costs over $25 to enter the wet tee competition (with an Easton t-shirt worn over your mandatory bikini) but I think we can all agree that being a part of this special retrospective is invaluable.

We love our reality TV studs here, especially the home grown ones. The most famous is probably the sullen Fort Lauderdale yacht captain, Captain Lee Rosbach, who gave Bravo’s hit movie “Under Deck” the brunt for 10 seasons. Tickets for Stud of the Sea’s one-man show “Nightcap: An Intimate Evening With Captain Lee” are on sale on April 6 at DAER nightclub in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. Prices start at $100 on Eventbrite.com (search for “Captain Lee”).

Another Fort Lauderdale boat captain is about to appear on Discovery Channel’s biggest breeder challenge, “Naked and Afraid.” Faced with only what God has given him for 21 days in the wilderness of Africa’s Kalahari Desert, Michael Angulo will host a viewing party for the episode Sunday at 8 PM at the Downtowner in Fort Lauderdale.

Bully Jeffrey Lemmerman doesn’t work on a boat, but he’s certain to be the captain of an adventurous journey into the possibilities of the burger, waving the flag of Cheffrey Eats, a food truck moored at the Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton. At 9 p.m. Friday, Lemmerman’s locally respected work will be showcased in the “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” episode of Guy Fieri’s Food Network journey. Of course, Lemmerman and Barrel of Monks will host a watchdog party at the brewery that you can taste for yourself. Visit facebook.com/barrelofmonks.

Blondie at Blondie: In a recent interview, blonde drummer Clem Burke “What is the classic Blondie song? ‘Denis’ or ‘Glass Heart’ or ‘Rapture’ or ‘Call Me’?
