Martini Mike D'Arco, Intl Martini Assassin!'s Interests
General
Friday night, socializing, Film, music, writing, art, fashion, sleep sometimes, shopping, aliens, driving a fast car, gambling, travel, law, religions of the world. (Sometimes I even leave the big city for some camping and fishing.)
Cufflinks, pocket squares, exotic liquors, cigars, Wasabi, the mysteries of the universe, baby animals.
The sounds my sinuses make in Spring, guns, serial killers, insanity, the technical workings of a photon laser, world domination.
I guess it's not an interest but I am renovating my latest home/fortress.
Music
Check out my "wicked" (is that still cool to say?) jukebox!
Everything from Frank & Dino to whatever came out yesterday. Oh- let's not forget The Rolling Stones, The Doors, & the hottest band in the land...KISS!

What's in the pile next to or in my disc changer right now?

Car? The Cars! and GnR, and Duran Duran and some gangsta rap, and some crazy mixed CDs. My Ipod. XM SATELLITE RADIO! And no Willie I will not hang out in your bus with you & Snoop Dogg again until you fix the stripper pole.

Heroes

idols or heroes?
Cause Gene Simmons is cool & an idol but...
BILLY Idol is great too.
I can't talk about my heroes because it's a love/hate thing & I might show a man tear.
I had a meatball hero last week.
David Cassidy was my first & greatest idol! All those chicks chasing him from the taco stand... good times.
My uncle "the most interesting man in the world".
Zane Lamprey. DIO & Halford for damn sure!
I am a vocalist, but haven't had a band in some years. Don't have a current demo either! Over 100 copyrighted songs... lost count. I am also a professionally trained film actor without updated headshots! Tsk Tsk Tsk Such a slacker.
Martini Mike D'Arco, Intl Martini Assassin!'s Blurbs

Executive Editor and verbose Host of Martini World!
Martini Mike!
Here goes...sadly I am a former "almost famous" rock star & former "discovered" then unfilmed actor turned professional schmoozer... er... I mean entrepeneur. That's all I'm saying. Thanks "Extreme", it will take "more than words" to finish this. Oh. OK. That's all I'm saying. Really. At the advice of my attorneys. Ggrrrr
I have been working extra hard at my next career as a photographer writer, star of the small screen.

"I'm with the Band"-Albuquerque the Magazine Dec. 08
Working on a few articles now for various publications - Top Secret. I also just had a magazine cover. I have several photo submissions out to publications at this time. Some were even at their request! So I guess practice makes perfect.
Book 1 is about my 20 years or so of an attempted rise to rock stardom and where I ended up, and how.
Book 2 is about my oh so extensive love life, sprinkled with lessons & tips.
Book 3 is all about VEGAS baby! (Talk to me- I want stories and the back alley inside info.)
And I am always writing poetry. Shhhh

And Verbose Ramblings, take 1... ready... and... action!
What's that? What else about me? Shucks...
All around renaissance man of the most downtown/uptown persuasion.
Artist. Gambler. Bon Vivant. Nightlife Guru. Mixologist. Adventurer. Patron of the Arts. Philanthropist. Event Planner. Customer Service Consultant. Marketing Genius. Madman. Man about town!
I just flew in from Vegas! Yah, my arms are tired.
You never know where I will be lurking & posting a review on a website about your establishment or product.
FREE Martinis? Oh, I thought I heard something. fOcUs.
Time for another getaway. Mexican Riviera? Vegas? LA? Santa Fe?
I can handle a shovel, an axe, or a fishing pole as well as a Martini! But should refrain from doing that at the same time.
I like my women like I like my martinis...
A little dirty, a little cold and shaken? OK, that's just weird.
I especially like blondes. Redheads. Brunettes.
I was born in the year of the snake. huh. Go figure.
I have ink! One of my tats is the ancient Chinese symbol of the snake... I got in the year of the snake.
I like numbers... especially on a roulette wheel!
I was born in Alaska, I also spent 9 years of my childhood in NJ.
Age doesn't matter. But I'm 27 forever!
What's that you say? I should embrace my maturity with open arms??
Just shut up & drink.
Ummm...I'm an Italian Spaniard more or less.
And well maybe my blood is almost at boiling.
And so...
make
that a COLD Martini please!
(Um... yes, that was a hyperlink back there at "make")
11 or so years ago I lived in a tent.
Then some bastards stole it!
(Yah, somewhere between Hollywood, school and now.)
Like every good spy I have a "Martini Kit", which is an aluminum briefcase I designed with all the necessary tools inside. I have attached handcuffs to the handle as well. Have kit, will travel.
Barry Sonnenfeld um borrowed my whole custom made kit concept!
And great job I might add!
Call me.
My humidor is well stocked. MonteCristos please.
There is caviar in my fridge right now and always.
Ok, it's not Russian. Sssshhhhh
What sports do I like?
Boxing, hockey, and horseracing mostly. Sometimes a round of "spot the hooker". Is that my neighbor having loud sex with a hooker?!
I once did a Jim Morrison tribute show around town for 6 months. Part of my "method acting" training. Remind me to post some of that on YouTube.
I (as an adult) have had a pet miniature goat & Iguanas.
I would take them out with me to various bar patios!
They all stunk. I just have cats & dogs now.
I like long walks in the park (with a martini).
And Tequila Sunrises.
Are you cool enough to hang with the beautiful (?) &/or idiotic people?
Put down that soda & start shakin'!
I occasionally duplicate reviews on Citysearch or
Epinions.
I was a paid writer for Chowbaby.com and got bored but will sometimes still post for free!
And I am a "regular" at
http://www.vegasmessageboard.com too!

You may find me damn near anywhere under "martinimic" or "Martini Mike", literary whore. Martini Pimp. What's that red dot on your martini?
Always coming in first, you scored as James Bond, Agent 007. ?! James Bond is MI6's best agent, a suave, sophisticated super spy with charm, cunning, and a license to kill. He drinks martinis with Martini Mike. He doesn't care about rules or regulations and is somewhat amoral. He does care about saving humanity though, as well as the beautiful women who fill his world. Bond has expensive tastes, a wide knowledge of many subjects, and his usually armed with a clever gadget and an appropriate one-liner.
What better addition to your cocktail table than a cocktail table book of cocktails! Travel with Martini Mike as he shoots the cocktails and places that serve them.
Who I'd like to meet: People I'd like to hang out with... and have a drink with (again? in some cases).
Your parole officer!
Your mom.
I have met, or hung out with a lot of celebrities or dated their estranged wives. I have drank with Miss Americas,Playboy playmates, movie stars, rock stars, fashion designers, you name it. I am not a stalker, just sort of end up in these circles and situations so shut the hell up. So I think that the writing and photography is just working out the way the universe intended.
And again, "Who am I?!"
haha
Read all about it in one of my books! No last names of course. Well. Maybe. I loved the sound of the paparazzi in the 80s as their camera flashes stopped & they would ask "who the hell is that guy?"
