At hobnobgulfshores.com we like to give new businesses the opportunity to introduce themselves. Please take the time to meet Vita Di Luci.
Life is all about going for it! Taking hold of the world and giving it your all! This is a quote from our Vita Di Luci website, and it has never been truer for me than now. My name is Mary Kay Montroy and I am starting a full service training center in Perdido Key, FL for modeling, acting, pageant coaching, vocal performance, and self-improvement. I have worked in these fields since I was a very young girl; in fact, these venues are how I have made my money since I was in my teens. I am married and have three daughters and a granddaughter and my heart’s desire is to train up young people to believe in their dreams…to reach for their goals…and succeed in their plans. I honestly believe that in order to do things well, you must have the proper training. I also want to help “refresh” the baby boom generation; those who have worked at the same job or marriage for 20+ years, given it their all, and now because of some unfortunate incident they find themselves in a mess and scared to death. They need to rediscover their potential, and I want to help with that. We have designed a state of the art studio in the Villagio community of Perdido Key. We have the stage, runway, lights, mirrors, sound system, and knowledge needed to bring success to the lives of many. All we need are some serious students…those who are ready to take hold of the world and run with a big vision. Vita Di Luci is Italian for “Life In Lights”… If you are ready to live your life in lights, I ask you to help me build my dream, while I help to build yours. Check us out at: vitadiluci.com

It seems like every week the Amphitheater at The Wharf announces another great concert. This week they announced Miranda Lambert with special guest Lee Brice and Thomas Rhett. The show will be held Saturday July 12, with tickets going on sale Friday May 4th at the Amphitheater Box Office and Ticketmaster.com.
Bio:
On the caution-vs.-candor scale, it's not hard to figure out where Miranda Lambert comes down. "I'm really not careful at all," she says. "I probably should be. I pretty much don't have anything to hide, though. I never hid anything growing up. My parents were PIs, so I really couldn't."
She may have become a songbird instead of snooper, but in her own fashion, Lambert is following in the family business, as a private investigator of the heart -- a trade she recommences with relish in her third album, Revolution. The 25-year-old star's biggest hits have tended to be her boldest songs, so she's not about to put a lid on her plain-spokenness now.
"I mean every word I say in every lyric of every song on this record, and every record I've ever done," she declares. "I would never take back one word or lyric or point I've ever made, because it's part of who I am. And there are plenty of artists who wouldn't do so much of that, if that's the kind of music you're into. But if you're into honesty, I have the records for you," she laughs.
In her most successful single to date, "Gunpowder and Lead," Lambert declared that some little girls are made less of sugar and spice than more combustible substances. And the title track of her 2005 platinum debut, Kerosene, established her in the country music firmament as a figuratively and maybe even literally incendiary personality. But it may be no mistake that the new album's title, Revolution, could be taken as similarly aggressive or just a simple pledge of personal reinvention.
"I'm a little more stable in my life, and not the crazy, wild-eyed kid that was writing 'Kerosene' at 18," she says. "I've been through a lot and grown up a lot on the road. And I've always kind of been a little older than my age anyway. I have the regular 25-year-old small town girl side to me that likes to make cupcakes and live on a farm, and then I have this rowdy, crazy, headbanging, rock-star-girl side that is my life on the road. I feel this record shows more a complete picture of who I am.
On one end of the gamut lies the hard-rocking, vengeful "Sin for a Sin," cowritten by Lambert with Blake Shelton, in which it sounds like there might be the hint of a homicide. "Maybe, maybe not," she laughs, refusing to commit to an interpretation. "It's basically about cheating, love gone wrong, and the death of something, whether it's love or a person... That's trademark Miranda -- the song on my record that most sounds like me from 'Kerosene' or 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.' Nobody really gets to live out all their fantasies; I just get to sing mine in songs."
At the other end of the Revolution-ary spectrum is the tender but still thoroughly realistic "Love Song," cowritten with Shelton and two members of Lady Antebellum. "A song called 'Love Song' I would never think would be on my record," she admits. "You know what I mean? Because I just don't sing songs like that. But this song is about real people in real love, not the fairy tale. And you know, I guess I've reached a point where, it's all right to maybe love somebody.
The Amphitheater at The Wharf is located at: 23101 Canal Rd
