Jack Dusty, prepare to share the limelight with your better half: the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota Spa, now open to the public and welcoming new guests. Our divalicious photography team is tempted to call this spa their sweet home away from home. We thank the guests of “Bubbles, Brows and Blow-Outs” for letting us capture you with no make-up, mid-pampering and bubbling it up!

TWIS’ photography team Emarie and Petr Marcan can finally check off “film festival” from their bucket list. See who they spotted on the red carpet on the opening night of the Sarasota Film Festival.

Eduardo Anaya attended the Sarasota Film Festival’s kick-off party, and came back more excited than ever for the 15th annual celebration of film. Read more for who was spotted, including local filmmakers whose work will be featured in this year’s line-up of screenings.

Our big bash is just one day away, and we have several exciting updates to announce, including culinary sponsors, a “TWISted” silent auction and more.

We headed out to Culinary Rhythms benefiting the Center for Building Hope, hosted by Bill Garst at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota. We found a plethora of happy people and wonderful sponsors. Then we checked out the Bearded Clam Waterfront Restaurant & Tiki Bar‘s new toys and great renovation. They’re totally ready for the three-hour long dueling pianos next Friday! We followed up the Clam with some truly “Lumpytunes! Live,” the WSLR benefit at Growlers Pub. [...]

The Print Party stayed busy throughout its opening day last Saturday. It seemed like half the town came out to slather their t-shirts, jackets, tote bags, bedsheets and anything else that would lie flat with awesome original artwork by local artists! Check out some of the cool designs in the photo gallery, then check back with This Week in Sarasota on Thursday to find out where Emarie and I will be this weekend! – photos by Instudio E Photography.
