These are the Sandovals.
I've known them for like 12 years, and I love them more each passing year...
Arturo, Melody and Lolita.
They are the most awesome people alive!
Arturo is the son of Arturo Sandoval, world famous trumpet player, who has an incredible story as well.
I met these walking gems during the first days of the opening of AREA 51. They walked in sooo in love, and their intoxicatingly addictive personality's has not left me since that day. Arturo (Turi) is a genius..really a self taught artist extrodaniare, and a amazing one at that! I / we always trying to scam a scrap of his geniousity, he always gives in to my groveling! Turi and Melody and Sam started FriendsWithYou
a great collective of toys, art, installationism, with a lot more in the mixxx. I'm so impressed by his / their hard work..Its very inspirational. From the incredibly cool Hotel Fox permanent room to the intelligentlly cute playground Rainbow Alley at Aventura Mall (my favorite mall!) to the cooly curated "Skywalker's Parade" for Art Basel @ Maimi Beach. I'm so proud of what they have achieved, and were all looking foward to what is in store for their future.
Señora Melody what a lady, its rare to meet someony who gets "IT". I love a friend in were you can just read their eyes from what's going on in a strange situation by glancing over and grinning at each other... So warm and caring, and always makes us feel right at home. Melody manages Arturo Sandoval and is a multi tasking mama. Give us some gossip TV, a comfy bed, a sweet Lolita, a cuddly Gordi, and multiple glasses of wine, and were fine! sooo fine...
I am so happy to have these units of fraterization in my life!
Fine people they be.
