BODY SHOPPING: Mandala Med-Spa

Mandala Med-Spa is hosting another of their intimate workshops on the benefits of facial rejuvenation. Space, as always, is limited, so now is the time to call and reserve your spot. Mandala’s Dr. Barnett and a representative from Radiesse will be in the Spa for a live demonstration of non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This presentation promises to show how to take years off your face in less than an hour using Radiesse, a wrinkle correcting derma filler. In addition to the mini-education, there will also be a raffle for one Radiesse syringe, valued at $600. Refreshments and spa tours will be provided. And, attendees will also receive 25% off any Radiesse or other service booked that evening.

Mandala Med-Spa, 1715 Stickney Point Rd., Sarasota, 941-927-2278

ART: Phantasmagoria: Specters of Absence, May 24-August 10, 10am-5:30pm

Mist, breath and fog are often associated with mystery, evoking a dreamlike state and inviting the viewer to suspend fixed reality for some otherworldly space. Artists including William Kentridge, Christian Boltanski, Regina Silveira and Jim Campbell are part of an international roster making for an impressive, groundbreaking presentation. The artists’ use of shadows and actual fog and mist evokes the alluring enigma and magic of the “phantasmagoria,” theatrical shadow and light spectacles of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, 5401 Bay Shore Rd., Sarasota, 941-359-5700.

VINO: Cosimo’s Mediterranean May Tasting

Now’s the time to phone in your reservation for another fabulous food and wine event at Cosimo’s Brick Oven. The event, Wednesday, May 21 from 6:30—8:30pm will feature a sampling of the aromatic and fragrant dishes of Greece, fiery and zesty ingredients of Spain and the rustic and earthy recipes of Italy, all rolled into a single evening of cultural cuisine. Chef Shane will capture the magic of the Mediterranean with savory, succulent leg of lamb, couscous salad with feta cheese, walnuts and oranges and marinated olives that would delight Zeus himself, as well as antipasto piled high with cured Italian meats, cheeses and pickled vegetables, healthy whole wheat penne primavera, Parmesan shortbread Caprese and grilled calamari salad and Cosimo’s hand-tossed pizzas suited for a banquet in Caesar’s honor, and a luscious feast of the aromatic flavors of classic Spanish paella, and fiery chilled gazpacho shots “for” Queen Isabella of Spain. Mediterranean wines have been specially chosen to complement the menu at this month’s wine tasting, such as Vermentino and Cannanou from Sardinia, Nero D Avola from Sicily, Meprica from Puglia, Moshchofilero form Greece, Greco D’ Tufo from Campania, Syrah Rose from Antinori, Garnacha, Cava Pino Noir Brut, Caca Brut and Sherry Osborne from Spain. Cost for this event is $25 per person.
